some observations from the match:
Hilton-played in the backline and did some nice things even a good aerobic stumble in the middle which would have tested his shoulder.
Rogers-seemed early to have a tagging role on coughlan to test both out.workmanlike game.
Ottens-mirror image to 2002 today.1st hitout only excuse.
Chaffey-spent time in the middle.
Pettifer-started on the wing and while he was able to get the ball his disposal let him down and yes he,s still doing the "hewitt tantrum"
Stafford-seviceable in the ruck. 3 times in a row he tapped to krakour.
Bowden-was busy all around the ground.
Richo-dominated like he should when against poor chubba.still pretty quiet by richo standards.didnt play the last qtr.
Fiora-probally close to best on ground until he was rested.hopfully a sign of things to come.
Cameron-one of the most pleasing things today.cameron back to his old self.
Rodan-quiet start but got into the game.very talkative on the field.
King-played in the backline on krakour for a bit.memo danny dont even think about it ;D
Biddescombe-actually played well today.
Houlihan-a nice snap but thats about it.
Coughlan-this kid is in for a big year.very impressive altho his kicking needs a bit more omffff.
Krakour-continued on from last week.had time in the middle.took a nice one hander over king.
Hyde-quite suprised with him.did some nice things.
Tivendale-amazing what a kick up the butt does.was one of the best today.
Mills-very quiet on the hlf-fwd line.
Mcgrath-a couple of good things but still a way off from being given a run in the seniors.
Newman-solid game without being outstanding.
A.Kellaway-poor chubba had his handsful with richo but converted to a fwd in the last and kicked a couple of good goals. ironically wearing richo,s jumper.
Vardy-why is this guy still on our list?
Recruits
not sure who was who but here goes.
Johnson-can see why we chased him.an absolute class act.i said it in the capts thread this bloke has captain written all over him.
Sidthorpe-i like the look of this kid.didnt look to overawed today.
Fleming-i must say this kid can burst packs was very impressive early with a couple of goals until coughlan pounded him into the dirt with a tackle.possibly concussed.
Shir-was no 38 i think.took a few good grabs.
*smile*-not sited that much but will get better once he picks up the tempo.however he,s very good below his knees for his size.
overall you could see it was our 1st hitout.the boys seemed to show a bit more endevour i must say.
