I think that young Harry's efforts tonight confirmed what his form in the NBs and in his two previous games suggested; he can play. However, he needs to be able to string several games together to adjust to the tempo and pressure. The last thing I would do is drop him and play Weitering forward.
Marchbank was outstanding tonight and Plowman wasn't far behind. With Weitering, we have three defenders who can match up on a tall forward, play up the ground and provide run through the midfield. There's no reason why we can't play all three, and Jones, in defence and up the ground.
Dow definitely looks the goods and O'Brien will be better for the experience. Kennedy was quieter than I was expecting but his hardness at the contest was promising. Garlett flashed in and out but the tackle that ended his night was a highlight.
Kreuzer and Cripps both made good on their desire to be more effective in the forward 50 and both were in good form around the ground. Casboult was very good as back up to Kreuzer and I think that he will be a major beneficiary if McKay and Charlie Curnow continue to improve.
Cuningham was good, as was Fisher, and it's good to see their development progressing.
Finally, anyone who thinks Ed Curnow won't be one of the first players picked for round 1 has rocks in their head
