Kaysa Pritchard; When he decides to make run with the ball the first thing on his mind, doesn't mean he will run with it but he is thinking it first, he is the exact kind of dummy half we need and can play 80 minutes. I don't know who got man of the match but he had to be up there.
Alvaro; While he didn't really bend the line very much his work rate was second to none. If he can be more consistent with performances like that he is a keeper. We still need some props who can bend the line but we also need some meter eater work horses and he is one.
Matangi; He really stepped up today but needs to be consistent as age isn't on his side. Great game by him.
Norman; He had a great game today but he just isn't consistent enough. He is now likely to go missing for weeks if not months. He is best when taking on the line, just like Moses is but in my opinion Moses is the better of the two and better at leading around the team. Hopefully Norman can show some consistency for the rest of the season.
Last but not least, Mannah; Much like Alvaro, he doesn't really bend the line very much but he sure ran for some meters. I still think he should retire but it was good to see him wind back the clock and have a cracker of a game.
It was a great team effort though which is most pleasing.

Totally agree but fong and others will disagree
Off course they stood up and played well , but let's see them do it against a team that is not in turmoil and who played like crap . If they can't back it up in the next game then today means Zero and that it was more about manly being crap than Parra being good .
Playing well against crap team with all the ball and field position and receiving 13 penalties is not something to blow over .
Mau was fantastic! I was surprised with Pritchard today-he did play well and I hope he keeps it up every week from now on. Gower has to stay in that team. Good offloads and will ask questions of the defence
Fong i wish you would blow away, or be a man of your word ya fake liar.
