I will take it, but **** I am feeling flat right now. Part of that is due to the disgraces in pink but I will leave that out of this topic
We are still playing some good patches of footy, mixed in with some really, really poor patches
There are 2 guys that sum that up perfectly, Stewart and Watmough
Stewart, for 79mins, he had a blinder. In that other minute, he gave away a penalty and let in a soft try, a big black mark against such a good game
Watmough, plays with passion, never stops going, running the ball he was magic tonight, commited enough to play through injuries, but there are the other 2-3 little touches in his game letting him down
Will start off with the much maligned players tonight
T-Rex, very, very solid game, couldn't ask for much more from him tonight, will be interested to read the views on his blunders though
Bailey, I have had enough now. He looked ok running the ball at times, made a couple of good tackles, but too much **** in his game for mine. Trouble is I am not seeing a replacement right now
Robbo, again I don't think we can ask for much more from him
Rose, carried the ball well tonight I thought
Cross, that error is a glaring mark against him
Hodkinson, still doesn't offer a lot in attack, but in a lot of areas tonight, namely tackling and kicking, he played well. He has got us 4 competition points with droppies in crunch time this season so a massive well done to him there
Some of the other blokes
King, I will give him man of the match, simply on the captains knock of his in the final 10mins to try and force something, which he did. Played strong the full 80
Kite, i would like to applaud the balls of the man. Threw that awful, awful pass, yet had the courage to throw that 2008 Grand Final type ball from the kick off to send oldfield upfield.
Oldfield was solid again, I like him
Foran was non existent tonight, hence Matai and Oldfield not seeing a lot of pill
I just am not convinced on that effort tonight all in all. Defensively, I thought we went ok, that Mannering effort was as soft as they come, but their only other try was from an arsey kick, with a lack of urgency thrown in.
In attack, some of it is just dumb. As I said, Foran was non existent. Stewart and Lyon were destroying them early on, yet in the second half we don't use them at all !! Frustrating. I hated the set leading up to the field goal too, we should have fired a shot at them on 1 of the tackles
As I said, I will happily take the win and 2 points, but a lot of work to do
