I felt we had a chance, but it is still surprising. What do you reckon was the biggest single factor in the win? Defense?I wasn't expecting it to even be close, but for us to actually win was amazing.
We actually looked fit, thought that was the biggest thing as it allowed us to scramble well and that's pretty much what you need in this format when you're required to cover more ground. We also sent a more suitable side compared to previous years. Parra also looked really sloppy but that could've been down to them thinking they were going to walk through us and not handling the pressure when we actually turned up and asked questions of them.I felt we had a chance, but it is still surprising.

I'm normally a staunch defender of Jayden but he won't be around long if he doesn't start showing some mongrel because our other young blokes are hungryI don’t think Okunbor should be anywhere near the first grade team.
Don't know why the club resigned him tbh. He isn't that good.I'm normally a staunch defender of Jayden but he won't be around long if he doesn't start showing some mongrel because our other young blokes are hungry
He is so big and so fit he just needs to remind himself before he hits the field.. disappointingDon't know why the club resigned him tbh. He isn't that good.
Fingerson...never gets old. So funnyHow quick is Meaney!
Fingerson had a 10mtr head start when Wakeham kicked the ball and Fingerson just got there in the last second..I reckon if the ball went another 5mtrs longer, Meaney would have scored.

Agree. Watched the highlights and it hits you right away how much space there is out there. Keeping Parra down to 2 tries is incredibly impressive. It is too different a game to start getting into defensive and offensive strategies. Better take aways from the nines would be fitness, athleticism, and enthusiasm.Think some people need to pump the breaks on writing off players defence on one showing at the Nines. It’s so easy to get isolated with the extra space and it can make even the best defender look stupid.
Totally agree, everything about the Nines favours the attacker. You can’t commit numbers into a tackle because if there’s a offload a line break is very likely then the ball movement is so quick and there’s so much space it’s very hard to number up.Agree.

Exactly, both our tries came from offloads 5 metres from the line. Hoping to see a choice offload from Britt tomorrow, he must have some in him, his old man delivered some beauties.Totally agree, everything about the Nines favours the attacker.
