Oh wow, some common sense from the bunker. That's a rare one.

 

[Tom155]

Win

Good effort today

 

[Jono078]

Outstanding defense to end the game! Probably more pleasing than the cool tries we got.

 

[Yosh]

When was the last time we won a game with our defense? Great stuff!

 

[slotmachine]

Other than ten minutes after the second try effort in D was very good

 

[Alex28]

Great win. Really good defence in the last 30.

 

[Apey]

5 tries to 2. Good win boys!

 

[Bartwah]

Pretty funny how when there’s only one minute to go and I’m still not confident of a win lol

The 2 tries we conceded were absolutely shocking. There was a lot to like about the game, though.

 

[Yosh]

When was the last time we had more offloads and linebreaks than the other team? We look good!

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Winners!

Was about to come in and say similar.

The defence in the last 2 min made me happier than the score line tbh. Ahead by 10 with 2nin on the clock and they were still putting in

Dare I say they've turned a corner...

Manly's a big test next week. Even if we don't win we need to see today's attitude and efforts replicated.

Hard to say until they either keep getting better or don't - but it's safe to say our last few games have been the best we've played since early 2021 at least.

O’Brien deserves full credit for his recruitment. Superb second half. He has coached well this year. There is a definite edge now.

Yes, all of our buys have been great contributers so far. Today would have done a hell of a lot for confidence within the group. There would be a huge buzz in the sheds I would imagine.

Don't want to be that guy but hasn't Parr being recruiting? Also, looked like McDerrmott was making the calls. I don't want to be that guy but I have absolutely no faith in AOB. From my point of view, it's Parr and McDermott making the difference this season.

Eh I'm no AOB fan, like you, but the players are clearly putting in for him, so gotta give credit where it's due here.

Jesus. The coach getting some credit.

Am I in the wrong forum?

Attack looked vastly improved, a lot more ball movement, looking at the stats the fullback and halves had over 170 touches of the football which is a good number, previous weeks we were around 110-130 touches, generally good teams are up over 150 touches.
