I thought Keegan had a decent game yesterday and gets better by the week! One thing he does do is draw a lot of defenders in with his size...it's amazing how much good stuff of ours comes directly after a Keegan play the ball...I think for a big lad he gets a pretty quick play the ball...the try where Arona cleverly switched play back came because 4 or 5 men got sucked into tackling him leaving space on the other side...was a quality play...

I've said it before and I'll say it again - big as he is, Hirst is not a barnstorming tackle-buster like Fifita; he's got a good awareness of what's going around him, and tries to use his bulk to win the collision and get an offload. As he grows in confidence and plays with more freedom, I think we'll see him do it more - and hopefully, he'll have support runners looking for the slipped pass, as they do with Huby.

Hirst is quicker than most props and offers a great offload game.
As others have said, he's a completely different beast to Fafita or Huby and after with a few more SL games under his belt, he will do well.
Also offers decent leadership and maybe a future captain ??

Dunno about that - the Captain should be on the field in my view; but he seems like a level-headed, articulate guy, so you would hope he's talking sense and motivating those around him anyway, Captain or not.

Centre can add speed to a backrow, backrowers can add stiffness in the 3/4.
The line has merged between the positions a bit like full back and stand off.
Chester notably did the same today with tupou.
