3. SJ - Took full control in circumstances that needed a leader on the park
2. AFB - Getting us rolling forward in a big way almost every hit-up, total freak
1. Egan - We needed solid and reliable and his contributions were decisive
HM to Tuaupiki, busy and threatening the whole time which is really impressive from the young kid called upon late.
We looked better again when Walker came on.
Montoya, Jazz, Pompey and Ford all have derps in them - it's a real problem when they all pick the same night.
Otherwise we were fine honestly, we were a whisker from scoring two more and gifted the Tits that intercept.
I'm happy we can win making a ton of stupid errors - have to iron that out during finals time.
Agree we were not far off.
Defence on the whole was of the usual high standard, the Titans could not score using plays, they had to put Fafita on little Taine...who shouldn't have been there but for the Titans knocking out our fullback and best defender/
Then they had to use a kick for a try, get an intercept off a speculator offload from Ford.
Having said all of that the Titans were brilliant with twelve men. Credit where it is due, that was the best they have played all season.
I expect these bottom of the eight and thereabouts sides to lift against us, they always do, because for too long we have forgotten how to put the fear of god into teams.
Manly will aim up and be tough, as will the Dolphins.
Crucial win for our season, the main thing is we came away with the lollies.
Thought Taine Tuaupiki was brilliant, don't blame him for being bowled by Fafita, most will struggle in that situation.
There was still some crisp attack in stages in that game from us, and DWZs round the corner ball while being targeted for a 3 man hit to stop his Try scoring threat was pretty epic, best play of the game from a Warrior.
Shauns management when we needed it won the game.
I like how we are looking overall, ugly wins are part of every teams season.
Bit worried about how bye weeks see us come out flat, we have to get over that.
