Absolutely stoked with that win. We're a team glaringly lacking in certain areas but that was such a gutsy win against an improving side, full of confidence, at home in difficult conditions, in a week where we lost one of our main playmakers and a disrupted line up.
Our pack laid the foundation (altho momentum swung back to the Tigers second half) and finished it off.....ugly but great all the same.
Egan and Clarke have been our best all year. Loved how our halves jumped on the back of
Egan when he broke them in
Metcalf's try.
We've only scratched the surface with
Leka too i feel. We've still to learn how to best use him in shape in the attacking zone......once we figure that out god what a weapon we'll have.
Clearly attack is still a work on for us. Particulary Luke with running the shape as well as option taking. Going side to side without squaring up is such easy fodder for defences.
And some of our defence in the middle of the ruck defending our line was dodgy as heck and marker D will get some work over the bye week.
Capewell seems to wlak between the raindrops a bit but another 9 missed tackles tonight.....2nd most in the comp i think....anybody else would probably get crucified by now.
I dont fancy our chances after the bye week against some classy teams so that win was sooo important keeping us in the mix, and it would be nice if recruitment could pull off a miracle Dylan replacement signing as i think we definitely need another ball player in the mix to take pressure off the halves.
Finally big ups Ed. Thats the standard now tho brother
