Apart from a few undisciplined penalties last week, Waddell has been one of our best in every game this year.

He plays with aggression and has a good motor.

Needs to add a pass to his game though.
Certainly needs to find a pass. Only down side from yesterday was he is getting into the back line and cutting off Naden from the ball when backline raids are on. Other than that he played well and it was good to see his improved handling.

3 - Burto - his kicking game alone almost got us over the line, defensively strong too
2 - TPJ
1 - Waddell/Dufty

King was good, Vaughan was good, Fox was good

This was a hard pick, which is always indicative of a strong team effort.

3 - TPJ, was spent at the end of the game and for good reason. 20 runs, 150m, 7 offloads, stung in his tackles, no errors, no pens
2 - Naden, 6 tackle breaks, over 50 pcm, 160m, 1 error, 0 pens, is making a huge contribution from left centre
1 - Burton, kicks were pure venom, and 400+ kicking metres is a huge contribution, 2 defused kicks, same amount as Dufty, so close to scoring his own try. Two missed conversions.

Special mentions

Fox, one of the most influential wingers in the game, defense is so good, makes good metres for a small bloke, you get the sense he is so close to scoring multiple tries in a game
Dufty, 200+ metres, line break, LB assist, Try assist, only 1 error, adds so much threat to our backline, and looked keen all game long
JMK, great dummy half try, topped the tackle count
Hetho - 163m, 59pcm, 28 tackles, no pens, 2 errors, was a major handful on the edge, no evident defensive issues this game
Waddell, 19 runs, 180m, 70 pcm, no errors, no pens
King- in 37 minutes he made 85m, 35pcm, and 25 tackles was only behind JMK, Thommo, Hetho, and Waddell. Loving the big guy off the bench.
Fox never got the ball passed to him in any decent position last night.

His try scoring has dried up.

3 games for the Dogs if you include the trial against Cronulla. Zero Fox tries. He used to score them at will playing for Melbourne. Didn't he score 5 in one game last year?

The team definitely showed a big improvement last night but we are still infected with an inability to score points.

Two games scored total 6 then 10 points. Average of 8 per game just bit over a converted try.

That clearly won't cut it if we have aspirations of going anywhere other than the bottom part of the ladder this season.

Like someone said in the game day thread we left too many points out on the field at the end of the first half last night. It's true - so much territorial advantage, possession and opportunities.

And what we come up with is 4 lousy points at half time. It really gives me the sh*ts.

Could easily make an argument for Waddell, JMK to be in the points. A few others played strong also, overall promising signs.

Others could've been there but there were too many moments of bad decision making
