Orford really has to stand up, he looks unfit, but then again if he isnt he shouldnt be playing as he isnt doing himself any justice. again we rely on stewart individual brilliance to score points. Nice to see Lyon playing 5/8 with ball in hand more often and defending very well. Both trys came from lazy orford defence. score flatters manly, but at least we are only 6 points down. Only lack of abilty from raiders has kept score close.
Ballin makes a difference already, so much sharper. I really dont know what Dessie should do with Monaghs/Travis/Orford but Ballin MUST be hooker
Much improved 2nd half but we still let in too many tries. Ballin helped turn things around but was not all him, the whole team lifted. Kite was outstanding, Watmough also played very well. Hall impressed me in the 2nd half, ran hard and looked to get the ball away. Hicks showed what he can do. Basically was good to see the backs attack for once this season but im not sure whats happened to our defence.
