Byrne moves well, is proactive and dynamic and kicks well... a lot to like. He is taller than Docherty which will make him an even handier player.
Boekhorst didn't look interested and didn't get dirty in a game that needed people to go in an get it in average handling conditions.
Foster looked horribly inexperienced in defence but has pace, height and kicking ability ... again something to work with.
D V-R looks looks as thin as a reed and his attack on the contest and man is lacking at this point in time... but gees can he kick. He looks to be all class but his body will need a lot of development before he is ready for senior level.
Jones was horrid... flying one handed for speccies when it was hammering down and hard enough to take chest marks, a couple of the worst handballs you will ever see... the story just keeps getting worse.
I wasn't impressed with Whiley, who should have revelled in the conditions... many of his disposals were "invisible" and I was surprised to see he got so many stats. He looks like a "jumper chaser" i.e. a good tackler who is second to the ball but he doesn't appear to have much of an offensive game.
Walsh isn't big but he goes in hard and looks like a solid sort of a mid, although his kicking can be a bit scruffy. Suspect he will be handy footsoldier in time.
Of the tigers' kids I liked Rhy Mackenzie who rucked and played up forwards pretty effectively IMO.
