More to come, isn't there?
Just about every player made errors or gave away pens (hard not to with Thaler's arsyness mind). Tidy it up a bit and a good show looks better still.

Defensively we were immense our pack were determined aggressive & git stuck in.
I thought Ava was awesome but so were Merrin & Cuthbo.
I thought Sutty did an excellent job on Lefao with Newman also stepping up.
Our HB's are beginning look like they know how to play together & Myler was top class.
Yes there were errors but from 1-17 they grafted their nads off & that's all we want to see.
Agar isnt my choice long term at all but he's got a Team playing for him & each other so fair play.
Re-Handley he had a decent game & recovrred well after that error in the 1st half & irrespective of what Gotcha thought his pressure on Blair after Eden tried a worldie was spot on & a game breaker.

I think Donaldson's style seems very kirke-like. Merrin goes off, he comes on and tackles everything that moves

Fair summing up. I would add the over rated Cam Smith looks a slower version of Sutcliffe and if fit Lunt should get the nod.

He is one of Gotcha’s agendas. Briscoe is another of his agendas who had a strong game

perhaps the bad apples have been weeded out...

Got to admit although im one of C.Smiths biggest fans that's a fair point JC.
Saying that I would like to see him just used as a BR and I expect him to improve with the better forwards around him now especially with genuine pack leaders like Merrin and Ava.

Just finished watching the game back, and the togetherness was unreal last night. When Koni hit McMeeken with a couple of minutes to go, and the ball ended up in touch, I found myself fist clenched punching the air when everyone ran in like we’d scored a try. Great stuff.

Agreed. Brilliant to see. Thought Briscoe had a good game, hes really got some form back.

Same with cuthbo and Singleton, both look like new players!

Basically if Handley went for the ball Gotcha would have said he should have gone for the man and vice versa, fact is he went for the man which was the correct decision.

Agree with that. Really pleased I went along, they looked like a team. I wonder if they've been told you are the squad for next season with possible exceptions of Ferres and Golding and therefore spirit is in a different league.

Myler has done ball steals in last 2 games that has changed both games our way.

Shame really because Gotcha clearly has a lot of knowledge about the game and I enjoy most of his posts. But he rarely changes his opinion or accepts anyone else's if they disagree with him. The lad maybe doesn't have the ability but tries, like when he almost got out of the in goal. And at a time when so many of the team have been going through the mentions, he's been someone to at least give it a go

Not to be churlish but where the _____ have they been all year? Playing well because your contract might be torn up doesn’t wash with me at all.

Benefit of the doubt; Lui is helping Myler and some others have been recovering from niggling injuries.

He should have gone for the ball, Simple as. The player dropping the ball had nothing to do with Handley, he wasn’t there for the drop, that was because of the pass. Handley has no idea what he is doing and just goes for the man. The ball was there.
