So much to post about, so little Warriors space to post it in - man that's annoying. Still, it's hard to complain about these little things when firstly we won, and secondly all our complaining energies should be directed towards how mud the reffing was last night.
Given the absence of anywhere else suitable to unload it all, I'm going to do it here (don't worry folks it's not going to be the wrong type of dump.)
Our game was far from perfect - our front row in particular needs to man up, and our forwards did not defend well off our line against the first couple of Tigers tries.
Our backs however were far better than I feared, so hats off to the likes of Sharkie, Inu, Manu and Tupou. Locke was outstanding in the first 30min, he has an amazing ability to draw the ball in under difficult circumstances (bar one pass from Johnson), and the way he got out of the in-goal to avoid the line drop-out was impressive and crucial when we were under the pump.
The kicking from Maloney and Johnson was a vast improvement and I think a huge factor in the win.
The hobbit made numerous good darts, including the try.
Mannering in particular helped keep the fringes held together.
Mateo came into his own in the 2nd half.
I've got quite a bit to say about Cleary too, but that will come at another time.
