Williams front row sorry. Kelma right edge
Guymer played 82 mins, at left backrow.
Tuilagi played right backrow for 70 mins.
Paulo (55) & William (59) were props for most of the game. Doorey (28) & Mataele (29) the extra prop mins. Otherwise DBL & Walker were 'lock' and I think Pryke played middle and may have covered Tuilagi?
Thought Guymer was caught turning in a few times from edge backrow. Needs to communicate with his inside defender a bit more?
Doorey?
Doorey done his ACL, do you mean Pryke or Moretti?
What did moretti play
Trombone.

Only thing I noticed from Guymer was his light weight hit and spin carries, being gased and getting wrong footed in defence too often.
Sorry, I'm just not a Guymer fan.
His carries are soft and indeed the hit and spin he does are not inspriring.
But he was crucial for us in defence. Tackled everything and covered so well for Moretti, Taulagi etc...who were missing tackles.
He's still young (22!) but his ceiling might be low Guymer, but with a high-ish floor. We need to develop his ball skills and he'll be the 13 maybe.
Guymer just isn't ready for First Grade yet. He has the smarts but his body isn't there. His future is at lock, he needs to build up some muscle, doesn't bend the line or even dent it. He knows the hit and spin but doesn't pump the legs. Has a decent pass on both sides of the ruck. Can be our starting 13 next year if he can have a big off season. We don't have a starting 13 unless Hopgood takes back that role.
