What do you guys think was our best aspect of the game today?
Personally, I thought our passing game was brilliant. Particularly from Holdsworth and Roberts, but this comes a close second, as the part of our game I was most impressed with was our defence.
The Warriors scoring those 3 tries, gave us a real kick up the ass. After that, we kept them scoreless for 65 mins (or thereabouts). Quite an effort imo, especially the way they were dominating us. Our sliding defence at the end of the match aswell was probably the best for the match. Willie Tonga and Sonny Bill Williams really impressed me today. I can safely say, that today, Sonny Bill earnt his pay cheque. Andrew Ryan lead by example, he deadset made a thousand tackles. lol. He was awesome.
I couldn't be happier with our defence today. It was just outstanding.
The two aspects we need to improve on, are our last tackle options, the kicking game from the young pair (although they were brilliant otherwise) on the 5th, close to the line, was lacking options. They didn't really think about it a great deal, they needed to put the ball on the ground, in behind Vatuvei.
Another phaset we really need to improve is our support play. Willie Mason, Tonga and Williams were getting an arm free almost every time they touched the ball, but rarely was the support there. As soon as the support did arrive for Sonny Bill, Ryan went straight up the middle of them and ironically, support play (from a front rower none the less) won us the damn game.
I am certain, had our support play been better, I would've avoided a near heart attack today.
What a game. Honestly. Even if the Dogs had lost today, we as fans, still would've been winners, because we got to fitness a 5 star game of Rugby League.
I love it.
Thoughts?
