Dobson looked a lot quicker today. The other games we've played he reminded me a lot of Dureau in that department. His defense was also greatly improved which was fortunate as they sent a lot of traffic down his way and he was up to it.
Snowden, Mason and Rochow really lead the way today. Snowden showed great mobility before the line and regularly beat the first man he drew in. He also offered the team another avenue of attack when he passed or offloaded. I remembered one set of 6 in the first 20 where he ran the ball forward 3 times. A great effort.
BJ was unstopable close to the line in the first half. In the second half our intensity dropped (possibly due to it being a hot day) and he received little ball unfortunately.
Uate had a fantastic game. He looked like the Uate of old today and he looks to be in the best shape that he has been in a long while.
I'm now sold on Roberts remaining our #1 halfback for the years to come. Even though the team has started off poorly with some close loses, he's still managed to play well in both attack and defense. I'm looking forward to seeing Roberts, Mullen and Boyd working as a unit.
Clydesdale played pretty well today. It's very apparent that he models his game on Buderus. Even though Clydesdale didn't play to the high levels of Danny, his style of play was very similar in the way he operated out of dummy half.
I was very happy with the win today which involved plenty of encouraging signs. Once we get Mullen back I'm confident we'll start posing a real threat
