There were positives and negatives to come from the weekends win against the Tigers. Here is 5 of each.
The positives were
1. Our ball security, considering the weak 10 and the amount of offloads we produced our ball security was great with very limited turnovers.
2. The introduction of Cayless at 2nd row, for mine an absolute standout from Campbelltown, was once again instrumental in our go forward and defence.
3. Burt at fullback, was not overly tested but when he was including a great kick into our ingoal in the first half he was in the right place at the right time. He also scored a classic offload try from Cayless which was incorrectly disallowed.
4. Tsoulos, this giant 19 year old has the world at his feet. Let's hope the injury he picked up is not to damaging. (I hate knee injuries)
5. Defence, it was great to see our defence keep tigers to 1 try especially considering our previous trials and the heat in which the game was played in. Although not smoking it was still a summer trial with no drinks breaks.
OK now the negatives.
1. Too one dimensional, hopefully this was due to the poor 10 and it being a trial, we do need to get the ball wider somehow. I also think Dykes tries to do too much.
2. Lack of quality back rowers, without Hindy playing his regular 80mins we are going to struggle with avaible back rowers. IMO Widders must come back into the top grade ASAP.
3. We need to improve our kicking game. Although not bad we can still improve and IMO Witt will do this if given the chance.
4. Last third options, gain as per last year our options in the last third of the park were shocking. WILL SOMEONE RUN STRAIGHT!!
5. Not enough of Thorman, sat bench for way too long IMO.
