Wings & half back are the most contentious issues.
Crichton looked like he was not 100% fit in his 20 minutes.
Taafe did not have his best game but is our best option. Those comparing him to Perham will need take off their welding glasses. Although dropped a couple of high balls, he was in correct position. He was in the correct position to defuse grubber kicks & tried linking into the backline. All things that Perham could not do. Hopefully a better game then in round 1.
Salmon has been impressive & so was Curran, hard choice for starting position. Faumausilli was impressive also. Not wanting to be controversial, not overall sold on Hughes yet. Lots of expectations, not at his best last year & had a good game against a reserve grade Storm pack. Hopefully a breakout year in 2024.
