First half observations. Energy levels pretty ordinary in comparison to the Panthers. Kelly having a shocker. Sezer, Harrison, Srama going well. Some nice touches by Hunt, Gordon and Mead and Hughes solid but nothing to be excited about (if Rankin is fit he should still be ahead of him).

O'Dwyer rushes up too quickly and between he and Minichiello decision making in attack and defence is poor

If centre is our problem then perhaps Mea and Gordon need to be shifted in and we find some wingers to fill-in. Does anyone know if Tom Merritt is on contract? Perhaps Hughes could play left wing outside Gordon if Zillman doesn't play left centre on return. My backline after watching the first half if Idris and Taka are out would be 1. Rankin, 2. Gordon, 3. Zillman, 4. Mead, 5. Don
