Takes from the first half:
- That left edge Ponga, Best, Marzhew are in sync early.
- That left second row spot is still up for grabs, some bad reads in defence from both Lucas & KPP but its only early so be patient.
- Tuala hasnt cemented his spot yet, pretty lazy first half IMO.
- AOB obviously wanted to get some fitness into our top squad leaving most of them on for the full half.
- Hastings has been poor defensively, Gamble poor attackingly but still get first go at 7 & 6 IMO.
- Saifitis need to pull their fingers out as usual, hopefully it's just early season fitness issues.

All in all its only a trial but im excited to see our young guys in the second half, would love to see Pryce & Ponga be on the field at the same time but dont think thatll happen. If the boys who get a run on the wing have a good second half that wing jersey is still up for grabs. Cant is one to watch, might be a smokey for that second row jersey or the last bench spot.

Yep as usual waiting for the Saffs to be our forward leaders . They will not lead us to a premiership

Tuala 12 runs 126m is quality for 40mins.
Just because he isn’t pulling of the big superstar plays and try's does not mean he isn’t working hard.
Out of all the wing contenders we need someone who is willing to do the effort stats.
Try's mean nothing at the end of the day hard work will turn into points.

I was more aiming the lazy comment at the effort areas pushing up with our attack and it showed at times, yes he was good out of our own end but he wasnt positioned right at times. Good wingers score so many tries by being in the right spot at the right time, it just needs work not expecting dom levels but expecting nrl first grade wing levels

Nobody can find anybody with a pass today, it's pretty harsh to lay all the blame at Tuala's feet.
 
They should honestly sack the Safs and free up millions to spend on something decent that’ll have a crack
