To be honest as a team we hardly got out of second gear, and our middles were just far too good for theirs. The Dogs started really strong, and I thought this would be a real contest, but they fell apart pretty quick once Moses and Gutho put their foot down in two consecutive sets.

Moses and Gutho just all class. Moses deserves the NSW 7, but it's likely to come at our own expense of probably not going to make the Top 8.

Everyone did their job though without really too much effort.

Asi impressive, didn't overplay his hand, but had some really nice touches.

The Sivo no try was ridiculous, particularly when you consider Perhams try was off a blatant old school shepherd. Surely Simonsson continues on and is in a support position? Just ridiculous.

Technically in 7th spot now. Not sure how we'll go next week without Moses though.

Well done - we have lots of errors in us, but somehow managed to keep their danger players in check while putting on a decent spread of points. Forward rotation all did their job, and even though disrupted through absence our attack was fine.

It makes a difference not having to accommodate (then replace and maybe bring back on) a past-it dummy half in the 17 - hopefully BA can encourage Hodsgon to take a conservative approach to recovery from the 'neck injury'.

Though I reckon Moses and RCG might get picked for NSW, alongside Paulo,

Next week:
1. Simmonssen/Russell
4/5. Dunster
6. Asi
7. Gutherson
9. Hands

Mate, I don’t care what happens next week, this week I’m super proud of the boys. Considering the shit build up, how good were they?! RCG, MM and The King should all be in blue.
but f**k me, love this club

I liked how Asi sort of went to 7 late in the game too the team knowing Moses won't be there on sat

Yay!! We won a milestone game!! Moses and Gutho were sensational. Asi was quite good, my little bird was spot on about him. He’s a 6 with plenty of talent but iffy in defence.
Hiney, the boys were outstanding considering the week and the build up. ASI went very well. Go you good things!!!
