He looked pretty solid.. He's a big kid that has more versatility than people realise. Everyone questions Ciraldo, but sometimes there's a method to his madness.

Obviously he was impressed enough with Wilson's debut that he squeezed him into the line-up somehow even with Fox back.

Okunbur is seen strictly as a forward now so he's using Wilson as the emergency back at the moment.

Was hitting it up in the middle mid set too and kept momentum.

Needs to be on the bench. So does Morrin who just brings bursts of energy and straightens up our attack. I thought Edwards was good too.

Question is who drops off when Kiks, Sutton, Thommo and pele come back?

He moves nicely when he has the ball ..... would be interesting to see him play a full game at FB so we can see what he can do on those kick returns and joining into the attack, which are 2 things that Perham is still really struggling with.

Only if we carry 3 middles on the bench and have enough size.

And he can tackle which is something perham also struggles with.

I mean, yeah he did great for the minutes he was on the field, but what are we really doing with our bench? 2 backs playing forwards, an undersized back rower and one genuine forward in Edwards. Are we really lacking that much depth or have we carked it? Lucky Mahoney was able to get back on the field otherwise Titans win by 50.

I hope we can keep him for a bit longer. He provides great value as cover in a starting spot when there is injuries or even off the bench like today.

I disagree on this one. If we are to carry an outside back on the bench(if Okunbor is now a forward) then it should be Burns. He can cover 1-5 and we clearly don’t need Reynolds off the bench

Wilson does the same and is better utility value wise. If we are playing Burns then its a FB replacing Perham.
