Not hating anyone. Let's just say I wasn't one of them. ( I've certainly wondered whether he was up to first grade, and let's be honest 1 very good game doesn't make a career).
Some criticism of Kelly's game was certainly warranted. As for abuse, well that's another issue, and like I said, I...
Umm I think you are getting a bit feisty. I'm saying when we question whether one of our players is good enough and then realise he is.....it's a good thing.
I don't know about the scum trying to destroy a young talent? Sure there were question marks and rightfully so.
It's been a mixed season for Walker. But tonight reminded me of the Raiders games where he was up and chirpy and really taking it personally. To me this is where Walker is at his best, when he's up arrogant and putting it all on the line. Most players can't play like that, but I believe this is...
What I also liked was kelly making decisions. In previous games he'd hang off and hope for a mistake or be too much on the back foot, not tonight.
Actually at one point I think it was Tamou held up by 3 others and he came over about 10 metres to whack him to the ground. LOVE that attitude.
Kudos to everyone tonight.
3 Jake. Unbelievable defence tonight. His hits and leadership in the forwards had the game won early. And then he played lovely balls as well. A true inspiration.
2 Tommy. So much from hom tonight. Attack amazing....but defence. His hits on his try line was superb...
Spot on. This defence was very reminiscent of the golden era. I used to love hearing the commentators say 'here we go, manly making metres with their defence!' Tonight they did that. One set the riff made 14m........just unbelievable.
They hunted as a pack, and the leader of thst pack was...
So proud of that effort and commitment tonight from the boys. To me it was all about going all out tonight....they certainly did that.
If I was T Baz I would be showing them that game through the week and saying 'repeat that....that's all I need to say'.
