Half time report
I will take that. Another hard fought 40 minutes against a tough and spirited Broncos team who's lowly position and recent form is seriously misleading.
Stand outs for me;
Tolman - love his never say die attitude, demanding the ball all night on the 4th tackle. Cannot blame him for dropping a ball clean on the second as his teammates should have known better. We need this guy on an extension deal asap, it's only a matter of time before the Roosters or Bankstown Ballerinas notice his strength, speed and barnstorming runs and make an offer.
Jackson - Captain inspiration. Those 2 metre carries do add up to about 10 metres at the end of the game which is no easy feat in this twilight zone of his career. Once again he rallied the troops with so much passion that he was too tired to make an effective tackle.
DWZ- Always a breath of fresh air when he runs the ball. Constant danger going forward , lots of penetrating runs, which if he remembered to hold the ball with him, would have resulted in another dropped ball on any other day.
Dean Pay - as always a figure of confidence and stability up in the coach’s box. He emanates such a divine like light that when his players look up and jump to catch bombs the light almost becomes a distraction. Inspired by his team’s performance so much so that he was ready to break out into tears at any moment.
Sione Katoa- showed why he is already a fan favourite without having a played a game in the club colours. Not his fault for being replaced 20 mins in. Pay clearly didn’t want him stealing all the limelight from fellow debutant Thompson who is clearly nowhere near Katoa’s ability. Seen heading straight to the nearest Maccas at halftime. Well deserved early mark
