Keen to know as well but can’t really find any info. Don’t think he got much game time.

From the QRL website -

He came on mid-way through the first half and came off halfway through the second for a solid stint in the centre position.

He told the Melbourne Storm the experience was “unreal” and he was “glad to get his first game out”.

He played 60 minutes, last week he played 40 minutes. They are increasing his game time slowly. He said on twitter he was happy with everything

Hopefully he gets another shot soon. I still think if the team were holding on to the ball - and the ridiculous penalty-a-thon crackdown didn’t occur, things would be quite different.

Drinkwater surely the next fullback after Slater.
Fa'asuamaleaui has switched clubs and joined Easts Tigers.

Drinkwater is really good. Not sure how we keep him given Munster and likely Hughes are ahead of him.

Easts tigers won this weekend ..minus Brodie who was 19th man in Adelaide donno why they didn't send him to Brisbane when they knew he wasn't playing

Interesting to note as well The Falcons played in PNG and lost but Sandor played the full 80 minutes (only took him 3 weeks) but they didn't send our 2 youngest players Harry and Cooper ...cooper played 20s while Harry just didn't play

According to QRL website, Easts won today, Falcons lost. Both Seve ( centre ) and Eisenhuth ( second row ) played full games , as did Earl( centre). Scott Drinkwater apparently played a blinder for East , scoring two tries and setting up the other two. We have to hang onto this lad.
