Great win against the Bunnies. We're turning things around slowly with improvements in defence, ball control and completions. Special mention to our starting big boys, Sele, Frank the smiling assasin and JDB, good metres and no missed tackles - JDB 200 metres, excellent. Great to see Kyle getting more involved, more passing, more kicking and 34 tackles, great workrate and Benny Hunt running more. Suli, Rav, RFM and Su'a making plenty of incisive runs.
There's a couple of areas we need to improve to start winning against the better teams though.
Our support play was poor on Sat, with players making half breaks or skipping out of tackles with the ball ready to off-load but no-one to pass to, maybe 6 or 7 times.... not ideal when we had the Bunnies back peddling - lots of extra metres and potential tries gone begging. Where were Sloan and Lomax or anybody. Zac likes to come infield at every opportunity to take hit ups that others could take but maybe he should pick his moments more carefully. Also on Zac, adding to his metres tally might look good on the stats sheet but that energy might have been better used stopping those 3 tries down his wing or chasing some bombs a little harder and maybe not making his usual 2 - 3 errors per game.
The other thing is our lack of set plays, especially those with some depth and shape out wide. Maybe Flanno is fixing the big issues like defence and completions first and hoping points will come off the back of Hunt's 500 bombs per game but I hope we start working on our attack a little more clinically and with a bit more variety asap.
