Outstanding performance
Horrible weather to play in and we handled it better than they did.
I thought a lot of their 'unforced errors' were caused by an energetic defense that just didn't give them the space they usually have. The slide was perfect in most cases tonight.
Brough was aggressive in defense especially in the tackle that shook the ball free near the line.
Grix was outstanding. I think he's been good for quite a few games now but we gave him more time in the middle and he was awesome. Please stop trying to find something to moan about now. I think he proved his point. (Murphy would not have done any of that!)
All the guys that covered hooker through the game were great. Without Leo and Brad and playing against the two best in the league I thought that was key to us tonight. Could have been a real weak point in our team.
I thought JD hit with the hand and simply pushed away with his forearm but I can see it going against him.
Thought Meli was off side to stop a try and I thought Korki certainly interfered enough for Pryce to lose the ball, whether he milked it or not.
I'm happy with the prediction of 5th now. Still work to be done but it more than possible.
