I liked the look of Andrew Fifita and Jesse Bromwich - big units who can bust tackles. Dwyer and Rochow look like very explosive backrowers, Dwyer is more of an offloader a bit like Tupou, while Rochow is like a Tallis clone - runs hard and straight.
Justin O'Neill, Matt Duffie and Sama Sauvao were the best of the outside backs other than the fullbacks.
Jake Mullaney is a great player but I wouldn't swap him for Luke Towers. He might be playing better than Towers consistently but he is playing in a great team with great halves around him who can make things happen. Towers is playing and doing things on his own. Substitute Towers with Mullaney in the Tigers team and Towers would perform to the exact level, if not better than what Mullaney is doing at the moment. But there's no doubt Mullaney is a talent and should play first grade next year if there are any injuries.
Mullaney has loads of pace and great support play, but thats about it.
He is a poor defender, has very little passing or kicking ability, and he has no size at all.
Towers isn't much bigger, but he plays above his weight, and seems to have the ability to tough in out in bad situations. Also, he is skillful enough to play in the halves.
Spot on Mack. Towers has far more qualities but he needs the support of his team mates as well to make things happen for him. Mullaney has Robert Lui and Darren Nicholls feeding him plays all the time whilst Towers was doing everything on his own without no halves because they weren't taking control.

After watching towers laughing every time the cowboys scored a try in the u/20s, he has the heart the size of a pea IMO
