Bit unconventional from me:
Lawton 3
Satae 2
Roger 1
Had to give a shout out to the bench in that game, for the way they came on in a torrid contest and remained invisible.
No miss tackles from those boys, no errors, no getting in the way when we needed to go to our Money men.
Lawton especially playing out of position at Center proved what a remarkable utility option he is, that was one heck of an assignment and it just goes to prove that his rating as an excellent defender prior to joining the Warriors is no hype.
Satae, for a greenhorn big man has some motor in defence, it has been pretty impressive to see, I cannot think of any Warrior forward his size having laid a reputation for being a safe bench prop in the fashion he has at the very start of his First grade experience. Especially when you factor in that he has played in a game where there were only twelve on the field and we had no possesion (I think that was his second NRL game).
Big futures to look forward to with those two astute recruits.
Hon mention to Adam Blair who just keeps showing up for try saving tackles in the middle in games where it looks like we might fold badly.
That game will go down as my favorite win of the season to date. We always lose those ones, when we are off, and when there is a ton of excuses to give in (the Ref, the hoodo etc).
Kearney looked really emotional at the end, smiling and talking with his co coaches in an animated fashion, he looked like he wanted to race downstairs and give those guys a message.
He deserves it, he found a way to break through this win loss pattern and they did it when their backs were well and truly up against the wall.
