Kyle Adnam

Replacement player Lamar Patterson is "doing exactly what I feel he was brought in here to do... uplift us in a spot if something happens," Illawarra coach Justin Tatum said. He named Patterson and Kyle Adnam as veterans who can plug in if injuries hit.

Tyler Harvey lost minutes as opponents targeted him at both ends, Illawarra coach Justin Tatum said: "They were really hard hedging him and blitzing him... and then they was attacking him on the defensive end." Daniel Grida, Wani Swaka Lo Buluk and Kyle Adnam got his time.
