What an enjoyable game last night. The forwards rolled all over the top of them, the halves did their job and the backs were given space to do their thing
King was outstanding, went straight and hard and went looking for big hits, he sets the tone of our aggression imo and is doing it well. Perry and Kite were both great, Cross probably his quietest game and I always feel a bit more secure at the end when Des sends Galuvao on for the final 15. Rodney had a huge game, into everything and my man of the match, Stewart did plenty of work and Watmough did his usual
Hodkinson, easily his best game for us and he showed more of his hand and had more involvement, was a beautiful ball that put Williams in for a try
Farrar was awesome is all areas, the ball he got away while falling to Lyon who set up T Rex was superb, and in general play he always looked dangerous. Robbo was more involved, and T Rex was swatting them away like schoolkids at times, hope he collected a fee from Priddis for the ride he gave him.
Lyon was all class again, that effort at the deadball line was magnificent, he has done something like that once before down in Canberra for Robbo to score a few years back. Both are better than that over rated Inglis effort from the test a couple of years back but won't get that kind of coverage. Matai, I love watching the bloke hit, that one on Young was a special. Strong with ball in hand as well
All in all, a great team effort, and bring on the Eels next monday night !!
