Given the circumstances this win is right up there in terms of regular season wins under robbo

No cronk, no Morris and then to lose Jake before half time and JWH not long after half time and to still come over the top of a team with something to prove was a very solid performance.

Unlike 2014, they seem to care which is a good sign.

Honourable mentions to Liu who stepped up when Jared went and JWH who led the way in the first half.

Other than that we have to find a way to get Latrell going.

Also ikavalu doesn't seem up to it. Morris stops at least one of those tries.

3 points: James Tedesco. 2 tries, 1 try assist, 8 tackle busts, 11 runs for 134 metres. He really stepped up in attack and was safe as houses at the back. His fielding of grubber kicks makes it look like he has glue on his hands.

2 points: Sio Sia Taukeiaho. 1 try, 15 tackles, 16 runs for 174 metres. Took leadership of the pack when Jared went down with injury.

1 point: Isaac Lui. 18 tackles, 10 runs for 93 metres. Stats may not look impressive but when the hard hit ups were needed he was there to take it, also seemed to always be backing up. Did the job expecetd of him.

That was indeed an outstanding win. Very gutsy for the 2nd week running against a team that was very hungry for the win.

I was super impressed by about half a dozen guys.

My 3-2-1 goes to...

But extra special mentions to Keary, Aubo, Cordner, Liu, and Crichton who stepped up big time in the final 20-30 minutes and showed what an outstanding acquisition he'll be.

These are my three and same order. SST & Liu put on some hit ups and runs when the team really needed somebody/s to step up. Gutsy effort all round. Teddy simply outstanding in all departments
