Jayden Bogle – got forward well without delivering often enough 6

George Baldock – played an unfortunate part in the equaliser but redeemed himself by winning the decisive penalty 7

Auston Trusty – a really good defence display, not just for his ball-winning but the way he organised his team-mates around him 8

Jack Robinson – started on the left of the back three but switched to the centre and did his job well in both positions 7

Luke Thomas – persisted on a difficult afternoon for him 6
