Bit of perspective

A Sutcliffe and Broadbent are probably our 4th and 5th choice centres, with Hurrell, Newman and L Sutcliffe above them. Appreciate that may change if Broadbent continues to play well but not many teams can say they have 4th and 5th choice centres at that level.

L Sutcliffe is possibly our 6th choice half back behind Gale, Lui, Eastmond, McLelland and Myler. He isn’t a half back, he did his best, hopefully we get a few back and he doesn’t need to play there again.

For me I thought Myler was very good, I don’t think Walker would have made the passes he did today and don’t think with Walker we score from those opportunities. A lot to be said for a solid playmaking full back, he may not have the razzle dazzle but we can play some nice structure when he chimes in..

I liked C Smith when he came on, a lot more ball handling from him which I like. I can see him doing that ball playing 13 role if Eastmond is doing a lot of the running threat.

Without Handley we lacked pace, I think Briscoe is okay but difficult day to be defending against that Wakey edge.

Pack was good, we have some nice power and I thought that was a big reason why they seemed to tire as it went on.

Overall we got the points, we got some minutes into the legs and we get another week to try and get a couple of players back.
