I don't really have a problem with the game.
York gave us a really good challenge and we found a way to win.
I thought we played with a lot more speed when moving the ball but each time someone fluffed their lines. It gave York a lot of the ball.
I thought our defense stood up well consider the amount of pressure we were under, though I couldn't see who let them through for the break on the right. Seemed pretty soft.
There was a period in the second half where they had 3 sets through drop outs and then we gave the ball up twice in our quarter. It seemed forever before we got the ball in a good position.
I also felt they rattled Doyle as well when they got away with nutting him.
It turned when Hood came back on and seemed to calm things down.
It will probably do us good to have a tough game so we are better prepared for the next game. We could have easily panicked but we kept our nerve.
Griffin unlikely to play so someone has to come in. Probably Boothroyd.
Not sure whether I'd play Trueman.
Lino did some good things but also went missing too though that reflects us not having enough ball.
You could tell Gale and Lino hadn’t played together much this season.
The game plan to take Max out was executed well and it stifled a lot of our plays. Mash clearly saw that was their best chance.
Boothroyd was limping badly. Will be Vagana or maybe Pitts (with Cozza coming to 13). But we do have good options.
Thought our completion was poor and we invited York to our line far too much.
