Best Kickoff Ever

Owed us at least that after that bit miss for the Cleary 'try' and the weak front on effort on Kikau.

Could’ve nearly stopped Yeo try too if he’d rushed over to help instead of watching.

He needs more urgency in those situations but can’t blame him for missing Kikau.

Yep. He was grabbing for the tag but old Billy K wouldn't stop.
To be fair, Big Billy has brushed much bigger, stronger defenders all year.

That kick off showed balls of steel - big game moment from a big game player. Knew full well if it goes wrong he's the villain, but still had the stones to go for it. Fair play to the kid, particularly as his confidence must have been questioned following his earlier howler.

Wheres the fullback, where's the fullback , then I remembered, who the fullback was......I just buried my face in my hands
I thought exactly the same about the number 7 the whole 2nd half!!!Freaky or what!??
And Val did have a shocker besides this play.

The problem is not the miss, the problem is poor technique he did not even try to tackle him front on. Kikau was slowing down looking to pass it's not like he was being forced to tackle him at full gallop.

Wouldn't have needed to do it if he'd kicked the ball over the dead ball line, like any park footballer would have done.
I'm still pissed off about it.

Exactly. Holmes front on defence is poor. His attacking game at fullback has improved out of sight but he really does not tackle well.

Yep awful play not kicking it dead
Féki was there also and made no attempt at the block
They both looked comical

Best because it was the gutsiest.

Changed momentum & effectively won us the game.

Big players do big plays & Val has done that.

Legend.

One other. Wasn’t it Felix the shooter who put the kick pressure on Cleary for his field goal attempt?

I’m going to over score him for the game. 2/10. One for the fluke kick off, which it was because he miskicked it (lucks a fortune though so good for him) and one for being the shooter on Cleary’s fg attempt

Small man, big man. Should have attempted a legs tackle anyway. Boogs should of used a shoulder ahead of him though. Some other snorkel missed badly from inside out.

You really think he wasn’t going for the short kick off

Hahahaha
