Knowing that they could grind is a positive out of this game
Absolutely mate, grind is something we have not been able to do for a long time. It’s a step in the right direction definitely.

Thought Waddell was strong tonight. His defence saved two possible tries in the first half; he ran strongly too. I think JAC's talking is invaluable, at one point he was shouting at Jacko to get the boys together. Teams need multiple leaders. It was a solid team effort.

If JMK doesn't cramp BBO wouldn't have come on at all I bet.

He must start next week.
The problem now with the reduced interchange and also the new HIA rules is that the number 14 is not really an impact player. He is just there as cover.

He was also responsible for some stupid penalties that put unnecessary pressure on us

Still don't want him in first grade at all

Jackson always plays well
Jackson plays a particular style and usually does it well. It worked today in a low scoring game and once the rain hit, it was vital as it became a game of defence rather than attack.

But as a 10 year experienced player i feel that style is passed us and we need to move him to another spot or he needs to change styles.

Happy with him today and crucial to the win, but in most other games this year we eill be expecting more from that position. Hope he can deliver it but feel its beyond him.

Lets put the win in significance. We had to win for confidence and pressure of the team.
We lost TPJ before the game, we had zero reserves on the bench at full time. It was a sensational result in terrible conditions as the commentators mentioned.
The players under pressure from the uneducated on here, waddell, JMK, Averilo to name a few, all stood up. Let’s celebrate a win and hope that this gets the monkey of our back.
And fuck the negative ***** that bagged Averilo, he was good tonight in trying conditions

JMK was much improved, though that’s from a low point.
I suspect BBO would still be best coming in after some of the heat has gone out of the game & guys are tired

Sorry just recovered from my heart palpitations. I'm so proud to be a bulldog. Hey Maroon and Nq hope you did get too wet in new stadium.

You think Baz will do the right thing and drop him next week for TPJ, or will SuperCoach keep him on the bench?
