Relief to get on the board, that last 10mins I kept picking up and then putting the defib back down minute after minute.
People are a bit worried about our attack, and the lack of directness which is fair. Freddy has played 72 and 69mins the past fortnight, while safe I won't add any more.
But I think people underestimate just how good
Egan is at what he does, hes top three in the NRL for service and craft. He guides our sets perfectly right down the field, and very rarely make the wrong play or decision. He can generate momentum in a set when our forwards aren't exactly banging down the front door down, and when the forwards are our sets are almost unstoppable moving up field with him pulling the strings tieing up markers as he steps out. When we are in the red zone, you are 90% of the time getting a bullet off the deck and out in front. In terms of the forwards you are hitting balls at the advantage line moving up field, when in the red zone our link forwaro or halves are getting the extra half step of time to play square and weigh up options from his pass delivery.
As someone who's favourite position is hooker and loves just watching them go about their business. I honestly can't say enough about just how important what
Egan does for us, he is the glue that sets the team free with the ball and I will die on that hill.
Have I been a fan boy since watching him tear up in junior grades? Sure, but I don't believe anything I have said is untrue.
I'm unsure why Feddy is getting 70mins a game, I can only imagine
CHT's motor is still not FG ready otherwise it just doesn't make sense.
CHT only got two sets with the ball last week before we defended for 5mins to finish. Tonight he came on and changed tempo well adding crisp passing with a bit of vision. He's the 14 for me by seasons end if we are going to carry a hooker on the bench.
