Dallin was getting points but he lost us the game at the end.

HM Capewell deserved points as well.

Gallant and to my mind unexpectedly close but ultimately I feel we lacked a little maturity in the final 10. Some odd tactical decision making lost the chance to close the game out.

HM: Healey made several good runs. TMM had a number of nice touches.

DM: Boyd wasn’t great. DWZ’s defensive positioning was decent I thought, but then he screws it up with a ridiculous error kicking the ball over the sideline, and a high tackle on tackle 5 with 2 minutes to go.

Mixed bags - I am still not totally sold on Taine. He was pretty absent defensively for the most part and the effectiveness of his attacking contributions is variable. Halasima did some good things and some bad. CNK had a couple of good runs but the ball didn’t seem to come his way. Niukore got his hands on the ball more at prop but you’d ideally want a few more minutes out of him.

Played to defend a 2 point lead and got what it deserved. Take the 2 points if you are going to do that. Some real dumb tactics in the end.

Hope Laban's injury isn't too bad, and that Leka is okay.

EIT didn't look out of place in FG.

Tanah not great again - feels like he's putting a lot of pressure on himself

I came close to giving Ford an HM. Played especially well in the back end of the first half.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Ford still spent a lot of the game pissing me off but I had to be impressed by how he became more and more effective after already being on the field for 30+ minutes. At the 60 minute mark I had him locked in for points because he had just done so much more work than the other prop options and I was starting to think he was going to go 80. I almost moved him back to an HM only when he went off.

I do wonder if he would’ve put in a better effort than some of the others did on that last play.

Funny, in other corners of the internet I’ve been seeing a lot of people bagging TMM. Seems to be widely agreed here that he was good.

Yeah, I'm glad you raised this...there were some pretty average efforts on that last play. OK, it's the 80th minute, fatigue etc, hard to be too critical. But I felt a couple of guys could have, and should have done better.
