The Good:
Unlike last years alarming 2nd half fades we are now proving to be a very tough last 30 minute team with a NEVER say die attitude. Player wise Oldfield again proved why he needs to be there. Tries like that are not only match winners normally but obv literally a death defying match winning 40m try tonight. DCE's field goal and kicking game were superb (but see the bad for his attack). Guluvao attack a plus and great to see George hitting the line hard he made a real impact and his try was monumentally crucial. Matai was also very good as was Hoppa and of course Foran again excellent. Ballin's 80 minutes proved why we don't need Seu Seu and how it gives us a huge advantage to have 4 big forwards on the bench.
The bad:
Kite's play is now so confusing it's astonishing. He passes as though playing a 5/8 role and when he does hit it up it's a girly turn your back submission. The Sharks front row killed us. DCE attack my god the sideways runs and multiple I don't know where to go changes of direction are doing my head in. He's a really great young talent, better than Hodko I think, but he MUST watch Foran who runs straight and hard and looks for the good ball. Glenn Stewart. Sorry I love him but he too has an almost incurable case of the sideways disjointed running. For God's sake men run straight. Tim Robinson missing out was also disappointing but perhaps (and I can't believe I'm saying this) Des has actually got something with T Rex being a bench playing wrecking ball, but Des please let's keep it to shorter stints next game and give Harrison more game time.
The ugly:
The site of Watmough thinking it was somehow ok to laugh like an idiot at the camera with the look of a pea brain. No Anthony it's actually not funny and just be very very appreciative we won cos there would have been a lot of knives coming your way.
