Still think he should be our halfback. Frees Dylan and Kalyn up a lot.

No shade on Fletcher, literally think you can slap him anywhere 2-5 and he’ll impact the game just as much, particularly if he gets a run at centre where I in all sincerity back him in to be a better Kotoni Staggs.
 
He’s a lil fella, how well he defends is always going to be pretty contingent on how well the forwards do.
 
Looks like the sort of player that is better, confidence wise with experienced players around him, made some poor and desperate decisions with little time to develop with the likes of Gamble
 
Yeah Sando struggles defensively. He needs to watch pheens on contact since he plays wayyy above his weight. Sometimes it looks his afraid of the contact.
 
I agree Dan. I didn't have him playing that well in my estimation by half time yesterday. Not bad, but not great either. When a comintator said something like "he's playing out of his skin" I thought, nah 6/10.

Good attack stuff but bombed 2 tries. Gets run at all game due to poor first contact.

Swap Brown in there and just on defence to oposition make 50m or so less just on the others making up for Smiths contact.

Edit: in saying the above. I believe no Smith and we loose mre than we win so far this season.
 
Don’t like framing it as him bombing two tries, good defensive efforts from Weekes and Sasagi on those. No one was within cooee of the support player or kick chaser on other ones so a fair bit of it just luck.

The one where Weekes strips him for example, Sandon calls for the kick because he sees that space, if he doesn’t do that instead of an almost try the play is kind of just nothing.

I definitely wasn't bagging his attacking involvement or effort
