| If we can stay reasonably fit we are a chance of doing well this year.
Most of us said about being another prop short - it's OK Rohan saying "oh well, injuries..." but props are in heavy traffic and likely to get injured (or banned, is it turns out). This situation was quite predictable, and he doesn't sound confident that there is much in the academy behind TNW, or that Hudson will play soon (or even if Hudson will make the grade at all). When we have to resort to Donno at prop in round 2, we can say it's gone wrong.
We have academy/reserve cover in most other positions other than prop. It currently looks like we came into this season with TNW as the only genuine prop reserve, and he is a couple of years off maturity at SL level. Ruan is big but is he more of a second row again really?
Anyway with injury clouds over Oledski, Holroyd and Lisone banned, this game looks harder than it might have been.

| Yes, should have said with Mom that although he hasn't done much as yet. He seemed to do more against Cats and is probably slowly increasing his workload week by week.

This keeps Ash fresher'"
Keeps him on his wing too. None of that dashing infield rubbish.
In defence I mean

I’ve noticed they often switch positions when were attacking, Ash then stays on the wing when defending

| To give Mom 6/10 shows that some people just don't see what some players do.
His workrate, positioning and contact in defence was very good, but this doesn't necessarily catch the eye.
He's also getting judged on reputation as well.
A previous defensive weakness area for us has very much improved.
Regardless of the scores YEP give him, I'm pleased with what I've seen so far.
And as has been said, he will get better.

| What I’m seeing is an athletic player with good skill and positioning. He can put a shot on in D too.
I’m sure when the grounds get better we’ll see more from him in attack. I think he’ll put Ash away for a few more this year, that is a very dangerous edge now.
Generally we’ve got about what we expected in the new players; and we are a better side than last year as a result.
