Gee it's nice to see the forwards make Hindy look average. To a man, they all played as they should have. Hindy's 52 tackles was a major conytribution, but Vella was awesome - our leading ground maker. Hopkins has shown how good he can be - a great try at the end was a just reward. Pearson played his left olfatory off. And Moi Moi off the bench was wonderful!
Parra played to their capacity, esp in the first half, with 17/17 completions, and ending up with 32/38. Gotta give the team, and Smithy a wrap. We always knew you had it in you. Pity it is about 3 months too late!
If only we had a kicking game!!!!! Field possy was a problem, and Thorman and Hopkins couldn't do it. Thorman, with the game going Parra's way and his forwards firing, found confidence in the second half. He has a great short ball, and a neat grubber. Has someone not f**cked aroud with the halves and given him clear opportunities to settle in, he may have reached that stage earlier. IN the end, it was class that beat us - ie Hill and Orford. In that respect, geez we missed Dykes.
And finally, apart from Moi Moi and Jack Affa kicking arse, gotta give a big wrap to Ben Smith (love to see him in full stride - he's huuge), and Mateo. Both justified all the wraps the reggie watchers gave 'em.
Watching the club play like that has made me more excited about next year. Melbourne are a real premiership threat -their forwards were outstanding in defence - and they flogged us earlier. We need consistency from the word go in 2005, and the determination we saw last night. The injection of Stringer, Ridell, Morrison and Tahu on to that paddock tonight would have been a sight to behold.
The Smith lovers will be unbearable this week, and Smithy will probably be signed up until 2066. They's all have amnesia of the last 2.5 years!
Anyway, for the 17 that represented us tonight, well done! Keep it up!!!
