It has already been said but geez that reserves score was horrible given the names on our team sheet...

It wasn't good but I'm not going to panic about it. Kostjasyn, Wardle, Feeney, Pauli, Elliot not there and Tupou and Mataora still not match fit.

Poor team performance but I don't think you can necessarily go off early and say none of our depth players can step up all year.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Defence looks good.

 

[Pedge1971]

Wow. Good intent thus far.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

And we look very sharp around the ruck. Everything looks very crisp so far.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Yeehaaa!

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Levi's looking sharp out of dummy half so far.

 

[Pedge1971]

Woo hoo!

 

[perverse]

Good lad, Pete!

 

[Glendale]

Good start in defence and attack

 

[Johns Magic]

Wow. Good intent thus far.

Yep that's the difference I've been hoping for...let's hope we can keep it up.

 

[K-Man]

Good start in defence and attack

Really liking the intent in every play. Bit of sharp ball movement and straight running, all coming off excellent work from Levi. Early days but good stuff.

 

[perverse]

Ugh that was an ordinary error.

 

[perverse]

Nevermind, Warriors follow suit. Warriors aren't exactly switched on. If we keep our intensity up the upset is definitely on.

 

[Johns Magic]

Ugh that was an ordinary error.

Errors will happen, it's how we hustle after ;-)

 

[perverse]

Geez shame about that last pass from Ross. Loving the short passes around the ruck.

 

[Pedge1971]

Who are the guys in the red and blue shirts?

 

[Glendale]

Sio and Gagai have had none of the ball so far. We seem to be playing exclusively to the left so far.

 

[Glendale]

Pythian brilliant kick!
