He has an upside on attack in that and this is a disclaimer "when" he's at his best he runs great attacking lines whether receiver or decoy. He is a good distributor for his winger. And his kick chase is good.
Add Egan to your list as well.
He had zero head knock credits left. So whoever and however he has changed that. It is good from all angles.Add Egan to your list as well.
He has been taken a while to get his tackling technique right.
Don't see him reeling out of every second tackle these days.
Hopefully I don't jinx anyone
It was the step that I was noticing as the season has begun to recently, now it’s the fend that he’s had real success with in the past couple of weeks. Used to be a joke that he’ll never get a runaway try being so slow, but a nice read yesterday in predicting the cowboys would have a shift before halftime and sat in their line. Berry has huge upside too with that kick chase on automatic and a good defender. That break was what he’s been doing in nsw cup since his return from injury. These injuries are a concern though and it’s clear to see Leiataua attacks best on the right
Melbourne had been having an outside backs crisis as well recently. It's part of the season and very interesting to see how we manage
What does talau offer that our outsides backs don’t offer already, hes not that great on yardage and not that quick either. Dom young’s top 5 fastest players and is 6 foot 6 would be a point of difference in our back line
They threw a thousand shots at us.
We're getting there tho - don't think there's any doubt about that - let's see where we are in 3-4 weeks - test is against Canberra on the return leg - this is a very good Warriors team, we're going to be in the finals, how far we go yet to be determined
Two things stood out to me. How confident SJ was going into the game, he could have had egg on his face pumping us up so hard going in. He’s seeing what’s going on behind the scenes, so for him to be so confident in what he’s seeing speaks volumes. The other one was when the camera was on Webster when Derby scored. He knew the cowboys were going to come home strong and he’s a real student of the game and obviously studies teams well along with the assistants. We’re seeing different selections each week, some just the bench altering and some injury enforced but he’s selecting the best team each week at the moment. Healey was a good selection
History tells us we play down team levels - win against the Dragons and Phins we kill that narrative
Dragons are very good at the Gong.. but we have overcame that hoodoo, especially in 2023. Hopefully we can do it again next week
I didn’t see anything from them yesterday that concerned me
As long as it's raining
Even the best teams have off weeks.. but fingers crossed we are on.
