I thought Ligi Soa was immense, almost an old fashioned enforcer. Took on Chris Hill in the first scrum and every scrum after. In the second half when Hill went off Sao was free to play and made a lot of yardage and offloads. Satae had a buzz about him and was devastating when running from deep onto the ball but had to take too many flat passes. Taylor stood up well and was a lot more energised. The lightweight Fash, Lane and Cator were obviously fighting above their weight
Gardener’s a prospect, didn’t flinch. Houghton was his impeccable best. Clifford controlled everything, MacNamarra did a thoroughly good job. The backs were really good running the ball back, big raps to Carlos and Swift but Scott deserves a special mention. Litten was superb, heard he’s of to Queensland Cup next year, hope he resigns for us instead. Griffin was excellent apart from the missed tackle for their first try, which he admitted to, hope he’s not too bad, he’d be a big miss, again. As you probably can tell, I’m a happy clapper tonight but a big test a week on Thursday then onto the banana skin
