Great win!!!
The boys fought right to the end which when you think about it they really didnt need to considering we already have the ladder sewn up.
CCJ, Towno, Naish, Balta, English and Coffield were all great.
Towno put on some crunching hits.
It is really scary to think what kind of player Balta might be in 2-3 years time.
Pickett looked more comfortable in the middle in the last quarter and almost took mark of the year but apart from that he was non competitive. He always poistioned as an outside option and was happy to play the support role all game instead of getting his hands dirty like his teamates. In the first quarter huddle he was having his finger restrapped. Maybe he had problems with it and was gun shy all day. Whatever the reason he was looked vastly inferior to the previous weeks.
Stack was good but came off with a rolled ankle
Callum Moore took his eyes off the ball which caused him to drop some very gettable marks. Maybe this is why he struggles to make the grade. If he had of stayed focused on the ball and not the incoming contact, he would take those marks!
Turner is a running machine so is English. They are everywhere men. English especially is not afraid to mix it up when it is his turn. I'm warming to him.
CCJ was brilliant!!! Mobile and Strong.
I like Markov up forward too. His defence there is manic and he always manages to catch players off guard with his speed.
Aarts and Soldo out.
All up, a great win today especially in front of a very parochial Bummer crowd.
GO TIGES!!!
PS: The All Blacks are giving the Wallabies a rugby lesson!!! 31 nil with 10 min to go.
