We brought pressure from the first bounce, won every quarter and really controlled the game most of the night (altho it didn't feel like it!)
The fact that Hinkley had to try Alir in the middle was an attempt to change things up and an acknowledgement that they were being beaten around the contest. The move didn't work - and hence he will cop it - but he probably had to try something to unsettle us.
Our second half pressure was in line with the best we have produced this year.
Anyone thinking that our last 3 or 4 weeks was for reasons other than pressure isn't reading the play very well.
Credit to the team for bouncing back and for the coaching staff getting them firing from the first bounce - someting that doesn't happen very often at the Dees.
