Some really pleasing performances and some interest points to come out if it.
We look like we will be playing a much more expansive style with the lads given free range to play with their eyes up.
Tough to judge where the pack is as they were up against one of the top packs in the league I suspect next year.
A little bit clunky but that’s to be expected.
The young edges went well and look like very athletic outside backs could probably do with bulking up but that will come with time and patience.
Regards the trialing players, Minns I thought went ok showed potential and probably did enough to maybe justify a deal.
Davetanivalu I think is an interesting one and it is all about how we manage him and if we are willing to take a risk in him given his status as an overseas player and our finances. To me he showed some real potential despite the couple of errors he came up with. Very solid build and genuine acceleration but also very green, again as you’d expect.
He’d start the season as 4th choice winger but I feel with game time he could go very well, can we afford to give him the time though?
