Just got back from the game today, Jets won 22-16 on full-time, I'll cut and paste the things i said about the Jets players in here for you.
Our marker defence was poor and as i've already said their big forwards, led by Lafi Manau and James Stosic smashed out of the game.
We led 16-12 with about 5 mins to go (there was no clock), but with a barnstorming Vince Mellars try outwide took the score to 16-16 Nathan Merritt missed a sideline conversion to even the game up.
Then with about 1 minute remaning, after two strong carries from Stosic and Manua, the Jets were able to take it into into our 20. Five-eighth Russell Atikin shaped for a field goal, but was rushed so he swung the ball to i think it was Beau Scott who chipped for a Jets player to land on the ball. The full-time siren went after Merritt landed the kick from near the try-line.
I'll add that Stosic was amazing today played very, very well. Merritt dropped a few bombs, but was always looking sharpe in attack.
