Each time he got on the outside of his opponent it was goodnight. He is just way too good for the defences at 20s level.

Every player performed there job very well tonight but other notables included:
Curtis Rona (made Blair's try with a great offload)
Brandon Tago (knocking them down like ten pins every time he took the ball up, great run and offload for the Alofa try)
Dylan Napa (made metres all night and stepped up with Evans out, looks as keen as JWH in defence)
Alofa Alofa (definite first grade fullback material, great talk, support, lively returns)
Ethan Lowe (delivers every game, as if the defence is any chance when Lowe draws Moga's man and Gidley-flicks it to him)
Cheyse Blair (looks to have regained some pace after so many leg injuries, definite option for the vacant wing spot next year)

I know it seems like i'm namibg the whole team but Jack Littlejohn and Dane Atkinson (a weapon in defence) were also impressive as always. LJ and Jacks kicked very well tonight. Would like to see LJ given a shot sometime next year after he gets some Jets games under his belt. Very much a leader and has a brilliant running game. Often gets his opponent running backwards by drifting sideways then accelerates, fends and tramples over the top of them. Scored one in that fashion tonight.

Peter O'Sullivan is starting to look like an absolute genius again.

This team has some constants in the forwards that you've named that do their job week in week out. We have several Dallas Johnston's in the pack who like to hit like Morley. It was the same last year in 18's when they won the comp(with Miller, without Cordner and Lowe), the same year before when they got knocked out in the major semi, and same in u/16's. Selfless defense and ruck play, that then allows others to shine. We are witnessing a team chemistry thats has been together since u/16's. Moga has been the last piece of the puzzle. The challenge now is for the roosters u/20's to stay Roosters. Their form has made FG lift their game and several FG players to have a look over their shoulders. Pressure from below is always better than from the top down.
