Jeffries
Whitehead
Hargreaves

I thought both Jeffries & Hargreaves had their best games for the club.
Bateman, Sammut & Kearney all had good games.
If all the lads can take the same spirit & desire into next weeks Wires game, and maintain it for 80 mins - win, lose or draw they will build on the confidence they created in this game.

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?
