A real message this team is on the up

[maxta]

Big defensive plays - this sets the platform
And didn't get sucked into sideways - played thru them and that try to Croker, after much chipping away, the wall finally broke.
That was a tough win you build a season around.
Far better than a 48 - 26 win - went to war and won the battle against quality opposition

Belted them.
*****ing belted them.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

And lets not forget we aren’t full strength.

Means nothing if we don't beat the tigers next week.

And as you and I both know , they come down from a game like tonight , and next week play like bustards.

Please no. I couldn't stomach a loss after this sort of win. We must back it up. Hopefully Schu and Garrick back

Yes it's entirely possible @Mark from Brisbane but I predict we will go into Magic Round with a three match winning streak. The Broncos in Magic Round will be one of our hardest games all season though......

Yep worried about the Tigers, they will be coming of a bye and us a draining (mentally annd physically) game.

We need to keep focused

 

[winnyason]

Yes agreed mate, team is starting to mature a bit.

 

[Rafferty]

9 day turnaround, hopefully shoes back on deck and our attack will be firing, our defence was outstanding tonight, we’ll build off this win, we wont be losing to the Tigpies.

Just got home and still excited. The adrenalin made it an easy walk up Beacon Hill Road tonight. Almost wet my pants when Olam got belted! So many good moments. Still some work to do but that's attitude we need to bottle.

 

[AshfieldBazza]

Yes need to somehow get them playing with that intent more weeks than not, can win games even when not everything goes right

Do you recall how many in the crowd tonight?

All about building consistency

13k plus

Our much maligned forwards were epic tonight. Allof them!
Our backline really misses The Shoe. Johns does nothing except pass the ball. Has he had a run in the past three matches?
Obviously with Sandwich back next week it will strengthen the backline. While Harpo played well tonight we are missing the speed that Koala brings.
Saab makes a difference. He is now hitting harder in defence, taking the tough runs and is a weapon in the air. The DCE kick from the scrum base to a charging Saab is a great play and one that is sadly neglected.

How was Tualagi? I didn’t really notice him amongst a very impressive forward performance.

How does our back line miss Tisschu when he never plays? I think too many supporters fantasize about what he could be rather than what he has been to date.

I was also impressed with Saab tonight, he just doesn’t look like he is going to be rag-dolled anymore.

Sandwich for Varga.

13,572 - a great crowd considering the wet weather, vs a non-Sydney team and a Friday night.

Melbourne were shocking. Shadow of the side they used to be. Munster at fullback was a huge help.
That being said they put in and got a result so good on them.
