Risati a big loss, agree 2nd rowers I thought had massive work rates particularly the big #5. Are the 2 lads new?Kings will miss Risati - real lack of attacking punch without him (although six tries were scored!) - he creates opportunities by the defence he brings to him. Kings back up centers defended admirably yesterday but there was no real attacking threat from the backline apart from a couple of jinking runs from Sawyer. Best progress was made through their amazing front row going route 1. Second row were work horses and back row didn't quite gel but that will come. The smaller backrower carries too much as opposed to supporting and protecting - enthusiasm is good but must play to strengths.
Surprised at New getting over View and similarly Shore pushed Joeys. Will be a close comp - c'arn the sky blue and white.
