It was nice to see the team really put in the effort when things weren't going their way. Thankfully, we hung in there and defended well when Souths got on a roll and frustrated them. The refs decided that an arm wrestle was ok and allowed the play the ball area to be a mess. The amount of times the ball was allegedly dropped in a tackle when there was several South's players attacking the ball was very frustrating.
A couple of stand outs for me:
- Dave's mate, why the hell can't you pick a player in the centres who has some pace? Stop persisting with this negative back rower to centre tactic. We are so lucky Roberts didn't tear us a new one.
- Too tries his heart out every game. He may have some mistakes in him, but he is a real handful in spite of people thinking he is too small. Well done young fella.
- We are such a slow side. Roberts gets in the clear and that's us done. If South's and had an experienced half, Yeo and Mansour would have been roasted repeatedly. We desperately need some new backs and a new sprint coach. The current one managed to get Blake to look as slow as Mansour.
- RCG WTF? 54m 22 tackles. Lazy, egotistical, disinterested. Feel free to add your own adjectives.
- Dave's mates use of the bench mystifies me. Only uses 7 interchanges, 9m for Lua, 26m for Winterstein, 30m for Kenny. It makes no sense unless he is trying to develop endurance athletes for an end of season iron man trip.
