Isiah Papalii was the best player on the paddock and could easily get a start in the 17. Joey Lussick has a much better running game than Reed Mahoney. Mahoneys defence willprobably keep him in.
Jordan Rankin should be in Jennings spot as he is also a goalkicker.
Honorable mention to both wingers Matt Komolafe and Solomone Naiduki who had great games.
Still a long way to go but very encouraging and see how the boys go against Penrith next week
Rankin is not a centre and has never played the postion so why would that be an option?
Papali is a lock for a top 17 spot
Lussick will challenge for the bench and may even challenge Reed for his jersey as the year goes on.
One thing that's come out of this game is we will have a good reserve grade team
Lussick was incisive, but I don't think he gave our team enough width at times, something Mahoney does so well.
We already have an elite goal kicker
Thought the same thing. Rankin over Moses? Seriously?
I thought the best were definitely Rankin who I reckon deserves a bench spot. He's a thinker and can read the game well. He's a very good goal kicker and defensively sound. Lussick was also very good and Arthur was also good. Opacic was good and will probably fill in at centre but would rather have Jenkins. Penisini wasn't that great. I thought Kafusi and Papali'i were both good and Makatoa ( not sure of spelling) was very good. Overall some really good prospects.
100% rankin looked good as.and got a good boot on him.
Jordan Rankin from fullback was easily best player on the field in second half . Dominant running the ball before drawing in opposition players to weaken the defence against the eventual ball runner . And kicked at least 2 goals from the sideline . He has to be in the 17. Great options this year !!! Go Parra 2021 !!!
100%
Rankin played in the halves in the 2nd half, that is where he looked good.
