I thought he moved well; is a good height and is athletic.

Kicking tonight was iffy but he’s not the only one in the team with a less than stellar boot.

Got some mongrel in him & thats is what we want. Stack stacked up as well when needed to put the hard yards in.

7 tackles. That's what he'd be in the side for. Will get a game next week.

Wasn't terribly effective but worked his arse off. Attitude couldn't be questioned. He will quickly earn respect with efforts like that and fit in better with how the team plays.

Kicks the ball too low...

I like him. Give him a few games at it to establish himself. Can’t question his commitment.

Did well. As Dimma said they’re still teaching him the system. Has upside.

Will probably take KMac's spot on the wing next week....seems to have a decent tank and covers ground well.

Thought he was solid, good signs and should improve with a few more games and a sense of belonging , ads something different which is good

Helps with the match ups, is fast and too tall for small nippy small defenders. Can also play midfield so the versatility helps as well. For whatever reason (his acceleration/height?) Fagin persisted with Lester on Jack & Payne matched up on Parker for the majority of the game.
