What has confused me is the form of the mids. Junior, beamer and jones have, IMO, never played this well and NEVER played this well all at the same time. Jordie is a revelation and scully and trenners are just quietly good. The running defence is reliable: Bruce, macdonald and grimes all run hard, link well, and can outmark opponents regularly. When we get that overlap run going, we look fantastic and we have not been able to do it for more than moments over the last 3 years. Who would have thought that so many pennies would drop simultaneously?
