It goes without saying we did well from coming back 16 nil down and lyon was spectacular.but just afew positive points.
-our goal line defence (in the 2nd half) was great,there were that many times when wallace and lockyer would turn it inside for a charging forward but our defence would cut them down (i was waiting for them to keep trying that play then fool us with a dummy but suprisingly it never happened)
-nerves are to be expected for youngsters in their first game/s so i wasnt too hard on JWH for the dropped balls and think he shows promise,he looks fit and strong and when he hit the line in that one certain play he nearly got a try and then an offload for a try,so i think it was a pretty good performance besides the errors (would like to see more of him).
-all the forwards tried hard ie king rodney g stewart rose etc....
-matai-this guy looks down and out so many times but manages to come back and make crucial tackles ie when he was coming back into the line after a leg injury and made the tackle
-lyon-what can i say,brilliant.
We still have the nucleus of a great team and if orford can get his kicking game right we can continue to win these tight games.
