Some thoughts on the game.
CNK - MOM. He was everywhere again. The guy just does so much of the hard yards and big effort plays.
Barney - man we are going to miss that bloke. I only wish him the best and hope the scan shows a better outcome than it looked. Time for
Fish to stand up.
LM - I thought we looked more structured inside their 20. There seemed to be more options for him which would’ve helped, but certainly more fluid than last week.
Pompey needs to convert though…
RTS - Roger was a difference maker again I thought.
Can someone dig up some stats on kicking percentages between
CHT Pompey and
LM? Would be interested to know…
Berry - His kick chase and defensive pressure makes such a big difference. I feel for
Ali, but a position is not a given and I hope he works his arse off to try and dethrone
Berry or
Pompey.
Thought
Demi brought a lot of good energy off the bench today. Forced a handover, and had a key role in Berrys try.
Hard to single out anymore as it seemed like a real team effort across the board. They seem committed and supportive of each other throughout the 80.
Thought the reffing was a bit average today. Plenty of forward passes in the lead up to their tries. Lots of late tackle six agains and penalties. He just kept on letting them back in it until the death.
I don’t mind
Egan being given a spell, but I just wonder if
TMM is the best person for that.
DWZ was better today but still is so hairy out on that wing sometimes. No one else would’ve finished his try like he did today.
That really should’ve been the game to help our PD, but between the ref and some shit conversions is was another +6.
