1 thing i noticed at the game. Lino was erratic in that first half, the attack was stuttered. I was convinced that it was becos tui was at 6.
Then Tui goes to fullback and Lino takes full control and we get back in the game and nearly steal it
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this side, they have collective courage, toughness and heart. Does Mooks throw the dice and blood Tof in first grade from this moment on? He's good enough, surely?
Did you notice Lolo doing a lot of talking to the team throughout? Does he think he's in charge of this lot, or something? It annoyed me, it had more than a touch of, 'I'm better than all of you and shouldn't playing alongside you today'.
I could be horribly wrong with that perception though.
I was also thinking that if we had Lino kicking for first grade in that second-half then there's no way we lose.
