He did not deserve Man of the Match---too often halves get credit when there is no obvious stand-out but i think either T.Williams, A.Watmough,B Kite,King and to a lesser extent Lussick were above DCE.
Great physcial application and all round effort from the boys---the WCC showed the attitude is all good but our red zone attack was poor once again.
This game did not have to come down to the wire if we were more clinical in our execution---i've never been happy with the options we use in the redzone but it's hard to be too critical for a first game effort. Second phase play in middle third changes of direction combined with early spreads were excellent---once again using the GF tactic of going wide early against the Warriors. (wink wink) "ok it's well overdue to exercise some class and modesty no need to rub it in tosser"
New wingers are going to be targeted D.Williams very hesitant in coming forward to shut down the over-laps before they arise but it's still early days and i'm sure Oldfield will be targeted also this year---never rated him defensively seems a little soft and hesitant but could be just a confidence issue.
Defensively the general middle of the field play effort was great but we are hanging back on our heels in the redzone too often--- i'm sure this will be rectified in time. Outside backs combined with new wingers tend to create this scenario so we have to be patient and accept a few bad reads and slow outside backs moving up.
