Devastating loss but some of the boys deserved credit for a good performance today.
3. Nathan Peats - Made 64 tackles and 88m. Kept us in the game and his performance of the year
2. Mannah - 182m from 18 runs and 41 tackles. More than 10m per tackle and his 3 on 1 strip that was not called was ridiculous
1. Pauli and Norman - Pauli drew in all the defenders and was hard to contain all throughout the game. We need to use him less as a decoy because he made 107m from just 9 runs but still needs to work on his defence. Norman was carrying our attack and last tackle options for most of the game and we wouldn't have been in a position to come back in the 2nd half without him.

Agreed. Aside from Ma'u, no forward in our team looks more threatening when he runs.
2. Norman
1. Pauli
Norman- was playing half and 5/8 today and we still offered more in attack then the last couple of weeks.
2) peats- worked all day, kut stay at hooker for full 80
1) mannah massive metre, massive work rate
special menTion: taka: forming some great combos with norm
hoppa/mmorg other than one poor miss in defence tere combo continues to improve in d and a
pauli: came on and had 3 big hit ups straight. However he did go missing after that and soft in defence at times.
3 Peats ( should be playing 80 min. absolutely the best )
2 Norman ( tried hard and played well with no assistance from his partner in the halves)
1 Pauli ( devastating in attack though needs to improve in defence)
There's no doubt, we need Peats playing a full 80 minutes if he can deliver like this.
Need to switch Norman to FB and Peats as 5/8. Sandow to 1/2.
