I have complained for years that watching Cherry is sometimes like watching someone who has never seen a football of any kind before, let alone played a game of rugby league. And the way he gazed up at that ball hanging in the air from the kickoff, then took a few hesitant steps towards it to make it look like he was maybe thinking about catching it, only to elaborately fling his body sideways at the last second, giving his teammates next to no chance to clean up after him, was pretty much the perfect encapsulation of that.
And of course he followed that up with a brilliant 40-20 kick, a hand in our first try, and a conversion from the sideline.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Daly Cherry Evans-Experience…
Anyway, what an awful game of football so far.
