Crusher's post game analysis
A crushing win against a weak opponent. What does that tell us? Not much. Thoughts:
1. The props were dominant. Kite and King were very good. I was especially impressed with the way King got stuck in and seemed to stay on the field for long periods of time. Rose looked good too - but he still looks too fat for my liking. I think if he lost even 5 more kgs he could be a 10% more dangerous player
2. Stewy2 was outstanding in the first half. He looked dangerous in the first half and i was impressed with the way he linked with his outside backs, one time sending them into the clear with an overlap. He faltered a little towards the end due to injury, but will be better for the game. I still think Willo is far too obvious in attack and gets nailed everytime he gets the ball. I would like to see him get rid of it sooner.
3. Lyon - horror first half, and i was worried when they made that first break straight past him. He looked a little slow to be honest, but got better as the game went on, and will be better for that first hitout too. He MUST be the goalkicker, fullstop. I thought we were far more settled when Burns came on and Lyon went to Center. Burns MUST learn to kick with his left foot - what are we in primary school???!!!
