1st half last night was brilliant i thought, the 2nd half disappointed, would have liked to see a couple more tries, but in the conditions cant crtiicise too much i suppose.
1 thing that is bugging me. We have a weapon out on the edge with Robertson under a bomb. We don't use it at all v Penrith, then last night we use it at the start, result, try, as we have seen many times this season. We then put that back away for the night :wall: , instead opting for all the tricky little reverse kicks, chips on the 3rd etc. I just can't understand why we don't use the simple, effective option more.
Good to see an offload form cuthberson and him have a good game to justify all the wraps he has received.
Menzies, cant say enough about the bloke, thought age had diminished his ability a bit but no chance of that.
Both of the Stewarts were sensational in those conditions, very very impressed.
Lyon, i thought he showed some great touches last night without being able to put the tick in the box of finishing them off. Can see the potential in him to be a good attacking 5/8 though. Probably could have finished his 1st break off himself instead of passing to Bell, who had a very good game too.
Dunley, WTF was he doing on the 4th 1m out from the sticks !!! Picked up, ran a circle back to where he picked it up, and was belted.
Hope Des drills the message in that if you get the chance in those conditions to take the 2, take them. We turned down 4 points last night, was no question that at 12 ahead the 2 should have been taken to put the game beyond any chance of Souths coming back. Bet some of the margin punters were gutted about that too :lol:
