SBW (love him or hate him) has the best offload in the game. Their other backrowers are no slouches, Cordner, Aubusson and even Guerra offer a bit with ball in hand.

Good read on Gifty though. He definitely is a throwback to the old ball playing lock days (Langmack, Dymock, Clyde etc). Wonder what TC thinks of his fellow coaches assessment ??

Great read. Gives me a bit more confidence heading into tonight's game. Great to see Gift back with his full bag of tricks on display. Hopefully we see the full array again tonight.

Getting pumped now. C'mon boys!!!
