I saw it live. Underwhelming and I couldn’t understand why they didn’t go left more often. The Blacktown team had Parker at left centre most of the game, and Ray outside him. On the few occasions our halves went left we made inroads.
The right side attack was poor, and Newcastle scored 3 or 4 quick ones down that side.
No faulalo I guess, no Gordy, no navale, no humphreys- they were depleted.
Parks and Ray were practically the only first graders out there, and should have been used more. Brad’s defence was great.
