As the title says, well done boys. Despite the fact that channel 9 commentators refused to actually admit or say it, we played a bloody good game yesterday!!!!
We looked hungry, energetic in defense, and willing to chance our hand in attack. Our line speed was fantastic in that first 30 and we pressured the sharks into making mistakes.
We seemed to play hot potato footy, but the passes stuck and we looked very good in attack. Even after Forans injury we still played off the cuff, albeit we turned it down a notch.
Jackson had his best game of the year, as did lichaa and hoppa. Jackson was rushing out of the line, but his tackles were actually sticking and shutting down plays. Lichaa sacked the dh twice, and despite a few small errors he directed play well and tightened up the middle third in defense. While Hoppa scored a fantastic try and was very willing all game, making plenty of tough runs and at times slotting in at fb it seemed.
Coggers kicking game was fantastic, and he found grass on almost every long kick, DWZ was solid, and made a couple of good runs, and despite his one dropped ball he added value. CHN was also good. Tolman busted his arse all day and made plenty of post contact metres as well.
Basically every player in the team played to their ability and defended to the death, and even our much maligned players like Elliot, Montoya and Sue had good games. Especially Sue!
Sure the commentators didn't praise us, they only criticized Cronula for their poor performance, but that was a very tough faught win. To score less tries and still win was very bulldog like.
Even Pay should get a bit of praise for getting the team up after the bye. Perhaps rep round was just what some of the players needed, take Wakeham for example.
Well done boys!! DOGS ARE HAVING A PARTY AND THE SHARKS ARE IN THE BIN.
Pss, so are the Gronkos, Cowboys and Titans!!! Lol
