Initial thoughts are:
- teams that rely on bottling it up at stoppages might be found out this year (SYD, WBU etc) ... not a great match so far though to really commit to that notion yet yet ...
- Free running unaccountable defenders .... mmm ... need to see some more games ...
- Clearance midfielders that have composure and elite skills ... might consider Pendles ... but I'd like to see the ESS tackle count post game ...
- Not as sold on the CAR rookies as most are ... started well and then drifted ... OK for bench cover but don't want any on field apart from maybe Walsh who looks to have a good connection with Cripps ...
