If we get more opportunities in the attacking zone we should get points. But Raiders not making many mistakes and ref giving us nothing means we won’t get many chances.

Can't see Brailey going the full 80- will be interesting to see what the plan is in the second half.

IMO we look better than them but playing a bit too conservative.
They are clearly trying to gas the opposing players to Best/Ponga/Marzhew - it’s a long play, but it’s working. Timoko was absolutely stuffed after 30.

Hopefully it all pans out in the second half and that side runs riot.

I just don’t think trying to play a grinding style game against the Raiders is a good idea. It completely plays into their hands and wastes the one strength we have over them which is our backline. Hopefully we chance our arm a bit more in the second half. Need to create more space for the left short side raids too.

That was very clever. The more we use KP like that, the more effective he will be when he actually gets the ball.
Yep as I said in the main forum I love seeing us use him as a decoy like that. He's the most marked man in the comp. Run that play occasionally and it will work.
