Jazz did alright, guided a fairly inexperienced side around put a nice grubber through for a try and was pretty handy with the boot. Still has a lot of talent.

What a great game for Fiji by young Sunia Turuva. I think we will struggle to keep him in Panthers colours going forward. Even after starring in that game, there is no real prospect of seeing him in our NRL team.
He has had a tough few years & it was great to see him play last night.
