Paulo compared to Mateo

I really liked what paulo did yesterday , he had great strong runs , good passing close to the line . I think he was putting a little bit of pressure off the halves, and didn't make many errors .
Now compared to parramatta with Mateo , I find that he was more error prone and wuld give away some stupid penalties . Also paulo is all round fitter . I think he should definatley stay in the squad even as interchange.
Your thoughts ?

Paulo did well, but for me he isn't in mateo's class yet!

I'm delighted in the ability that our two young wingers are showing. Who knows, Blair might be the next Grothe Jr with those strong hitups.

So if we are happy with the team kearney is picking this year and whi he has recruited and with our attack showing improvement
can we support him now and not bag him and just let him do his job

IMO Paulo, Horo, O'hanlon comparisons are a good one.

Paulo looked good with his short passing before the line. He adds glance because there are few players in our pack that can do that.

Horo runs great lines and will give Ben Roberts good options on the left.

Ohanlon offers little in attack but I think would come in handy plugging the middle in the last 20 minutes.... An area we need to
Improve.

O'Hanlon - your kidding right? He needs to learn how to tackle. He was falling of tackles all night on Monday.

I'd be interested to see how O Hanlon would go if he used his height and ability to remain upright in tackles to off-load to trailing runners. Seems like he has the potential to do that kind of thing.

But yeah, Mateo is streets ahead of both Paulo and O Hanlon at present. Mateo seems to have improved his ability to pick his moments, and that makes him deadlier than when he was at the Eels, because of a lower error rate.

I lost track of how many things I broke between Mateos errors and Gurus jnrs defence .
