What, David Armitage played?
Armitage laid a few big tackles, nowhere near our worst. Agree Jones was probably the worst; Polo was conspicuous in his incompetence; Blake, I thought, did OK; Geary butchered it a lot; Ray was a non-event... and Dempster... let's put it down to a bad game.
For mine, Stanley and Cripps did well enough, Milera stood out with poise and ball use... and I'd love to see Ledger in for Ray, Simpkin for Blake only when Gwilt returns, Ross for Armo (even though i thought he was OK); Raph Clarke in for Polo; Saad in for Peake; and Siposs in for Jones... then we have a side with some speed (Saad, Milera, Raph), some of the worst disposal gone (Peake, Polo, Jones, Blake), and the insipidness of Ray gone. Dempster needs to get his s*** together and play tagger in the centre. Siposs and Stanley and Clarke give us 'X' factor.
In light of his excellent year last year, Peake maybe deserves a bit of another go. Why not try him as a tagger? He has the pace. He doesn't need clean hands. His disposal the other way is no worse than Jones'. He might learn some accountability. Jones has gone the same way as McQualter and Gram... had a great year or two and nothin' since.
