Second half I'm a little unsure of. Sort of have the feeling they wanted to grind the game out Bennett style instead of launching attacking raids. Once Moylan went over things clicked and they felt forced to get the extra six. It's a good attitude, being able to change the momentum to close games out and defensively remain solid when needed. I don't think it's anything to worry about, a persistent issue or anything but it will easily cost us games.
Mullen was fantastic. Really stepped up, his running game was excellent; was a lot smarter, took his chances at the right time more often than not. Bumping players out of the way just highlights what a talent he is. Kicking game is far from the absolutely brilliant form of 2013 but it will get there.
Missed Sims and Rochow. Houston and Fa'alogo admittedly I thought did well but it going to be nothing but open arms for Tariq next week and hopefully Rochow. Vaivai was solid on debut, broke a few tackles, defended well. Don't think he'll get called up next week if Rochow is back but still, good showing. Thought Tapine was quiet though.
Otherwise, backs were strong, Scott and Smith continue to prove to be vital leaders, Snowy was tremendous and his form is worth every cent we're paying him. Clydsdale probably had his best game and it sucked to see him go off. Randell did well from the bench and we didn't lose anything with the interchange.
Just a good win all round.
