Lafai, has done nothing. I think maybe 1 or 2 straight forward carries.
LAM nothing out of the ordinary, goods mins but to be expected.
JDB, nothing special hasn't really been involved much tbh.
Packer. Safe carries, hasn't looked for offloads, a couple of missed tackles, but ok.
Auvaa coming off bench, hasn't really done much.

EDIT: Auva'a just cored a try, one of his first touches.

Auva'a will be a good cheapie if he gets the nod over Hymel Hunt.

What I got out of tonight unless the Dragons change drastically with Widdop, Thompson and Dugan.
I would steer clear of Mann and Lafai for now. Better options out there I reckon.
Not sure on Ah Mau now, Packer was very impressive I thought, although he is just a hitup land on knees over advantage line quick play the ball guy.
Ah Mau was more standing in tackles looking for offloads.
JDB I thought is a better option than Mooper, just my thoughts but a bit of a shit fight for minutes now also with Dunamis Lui looking better than average.

My take on minutes is
JDB - 55 minutes
Packer - 40 minutes and Creagh - 35 minutes
Thompson - 80 mins on edge
Leeson Ah Mau - 50 minutes
Mooper - 50 minutes
Dunamis Lui - 30 minutes
Frizell - 60 minutes

400 minutes - there is a little value in there pack.

Souths - yeah Auva'a will be starting and go alright.
Cody Walker looks a good prospect and could surpass Keary if hes on the outer.
Paul Carter is a goer and would be gold if he got the minutes, he could take minutes of big Samy???

Only way Friz only plays 60 minutes is a the start of the season while he works back from injury, he is one of the premier edge forwards in the game and will play 80

Parker + JDB or Surgess + Merrin

Yeah I'm looking at the first six weeks so I think there is most value in Packer, JDB and Ah Mau in that order. Packers attitude looks to have really changed, seems as though he has worked harder and is more fit. Thinking he could be a better option than Brenton Lawrence for the price??? Looked like Packer was taking Ah Mau's hitups tonight.
