Stellar performance. We've got our dare back which is what makes our gameplan sizzle. The chaos ball thing is cliche but the constant rushing and surging and knocking the ball forward helter skelter is definitely the way we should play sprinkled with compsure when ball is in hand.
Gee these are the best ones aren't they? The ones where it's hard to choose votes because there were so many good team efforts. Christian Petracca you are a colossus, there's gonna be a lot of players with stud marks all over their bodies in future after Trac has run through l them! Max Gawn was officially the 'No fly zone' and he just cut off everything in the air. Sam Weideman I could not be more proud of. We see the end result and celebrate but I'm sure for the kid it's been a very difficult 12-18 months and just work, work and more work to get to a level where he is ready to compete regularly in this league. Kozzie and Hannan provided massive pressure, boy how good is it to have forward pressure! Clarry's game versus his fame against the Tiges are chalk and cheese. He kicked more, he looked forward more all while still doing the great things he does like extracting it from congestion quickly.
The backline might get a little overlooked today but there is no doubt this is the back 6 to take us forward. Oscar a completely different player and chose the right moments to get up the ground. Lever looked solid.
Gus is off the boil but he did come into it. Sometimes you're just going to have bad patches and I think the only thing he can do is to continue to work hard through it. There's no doubt a place in the side for him and he's just gotta get through this patch.
Then there the team as a whole. Everyone tackled their pants off! A brilliant across the board performance it terms of output. We were challenged in the 3rd but we just kept working and chances eventually came out lot way. I big step forward.
The coach needs to be given credit today, selection worked well especislly Luke Jackson who looked very handy. If we're at least breaking even with uncontested ball and locking the ball in 50 the gameplan looks very good. But any less than that doesn't cut it.
All in all great win Dees. Great to finish off a weekend happy for a change!
