My thoughts on some of our players
Slater - pretty good, though I'd seriously start to consider moving Inglis to fullback. He just isn't being used enough in the centres.
Boyd and Tate - Great as always. Tate dropped a bomb, but other than that was excellent.
Inglis - Quiet, but not his fault. We aren't using him enough. Give him early ball and watch him dominate.
Hodges - His best series ever. Just superb.
Scott - Just a machine. Best prop in the world, easily.
McQueen - In the end I was impressed. He's pretty much a mini Ash Harrison, not quite as good though obviously younger. Looks like Mal knew what he was doing.
Thaiday - Really strong in his limited minutes, but he just lacks the fitness to play more than 30 minutes, It sucks because our prop-less plan revolves around him doing more.
Parker - Another machine. Missed tackle on Merrin is the only negative thing amongst an amazing series and year in general.
DCE - Very impressive. Strong defence, good linespeed and quick play the balls. I thought he was one of the reasons we started to get back on top. Obviously injury cover is just a huge bonus.
Papalli - Fantastic, even though he's playing in the unfamiliar middle third. Needs more minutes.
Gillett/Te'o - Fairly meh. Shillington would have been far better.
