Bateman stood out for me tonight mom
Jefferies was a close second and 3rd e whitehead for his hat trick

I think Joesph has done alright in the games he has played in. But I see him as a bit of a stop gap signing until McAvoy is ready to step up and be 6th choice Prop.

McAvoy looks a bit small for a prop to me. From what I've seen he does have potential, but he isn't huge.

He isn't massive but he does seem a strong lad. In the games I have seen him play in, he's impressed me.

Let's be honest, Joseph is only getting in the 17 because of our injury list

If Elima, Manuokafoa, Sibbit, Donaldson and Olbison had been fit on Saturday do you think Joseph would have made the 17?

Of course he wouldn't, although I would personally play him in front of Sibbit. Mind you, I'd play Mrs. Aardvark ahead of Sibbit. But he didn't come for a trial and get a one year deal to start in Feb. ahead of Olivier Elima, nor is he on the same wage,nor is he claiming to be some superstar signing, so let's be a bit realistic, eh? He's not holding himself out as the next Willie Mason, he's just started making the start of the start of a Superleague squad slot, and good luck to the lad, all he can do is improve from his first taste of SL, which to me for someone so inexperienced has been a good beginning. He's not let himself down and has shown many of the others some real enthusiasm. Let's see where he is in a season or two, eh?

Maybe (who knows) he'll never be more than an able deputy. What would be wrong with that?
