light, a few players impressed me yesterday.
Dalgleish, as previously mentioned, was probably the best player of the day, and far and away the best of the 10's. Lochey Oppenheimer (ACGS) impressed me as usual, but the next best of the 8's, for me, was the year 10 boy Daniel Sitanilei from Terrace. Dylan Sikimeti (NC) had some excellent runs and he was the pick of the front rows, and I'd put Cody Blackhurst (BGS) on the other side of the scrum. None of the hooker's really stood out, but Dimitri Loukaras (BSHS) and Tom Mellor (GT) were probably least impressive. Jack Tuttle (NC) played well and will easily end up with the GPS 1 jumper. The wings for me would be Monty Ioane (ACGS) and a BBC winger that I haven't seen before, but he was quick. Dan Preen (IGS) was the pick of the second rows, and I'd consider lining Isaac French (GT) up next to him just for a nice even scrum, but Adam Korczyk (BSHS) performed slightly better on the day. Jack Heenan (GT) might have played himself into one of the lower team's jerseys with a long distance try, but I can't see him going too highly. A relatively weak showing by Tom Given might cost him a spot, didn't really live up to his full potential but I still thought he was one of the best 2 fullbacks on the day.
