I thought they were OK, but was expecting a lot more from them with them been unbeaten all season and having a bit of hype about them.
They seem to play a very loose game throwing the ball about to try to create gaps, and they have a good big solid looking pack, who can make good meters, and can play with the ball. I was a little suprised to see Dwayne Barker playing stand off, because I would never of thought he was creative enough to play there, and from what I saw last night nothing has changed that. They do however have good creative players in Ben Black, who was excellent, and Penkewich, who has a lot of experience.
I think it will be a good game when we play them, they'll certainly come full of confidence, but I feel we should win comfortabley.
It was nice to see big Franke Watene playing. He made some good yards, and did a nice little slipped pass to create a try.
Barker was playing in the centre last night - the halfs were Black and Penky, then Beswick.
