Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2324381, member: 2221"] Although they are not at the pinnacle of attacking footy, I think the Dragons did ask plenty of questions today and even when they broke our line, our scramble defence was very good, especially thanks to our backline! The attacking flair will come back with the talent we have, even more so if Hodgo does come back against the Eels and gets a few games under his belt before the finals. Macca has improved a bit, but for someone his size it’s scary how slow he is, but then again, Smith is not the fastest either. His mistakes will get ironed out with time hopefully… Hunt is losing terrain to Macca, his second poor game in a row. Wallace improved a lot from a very poor 1st half and looks indeed like he’s trying too hard. He needs to regain confidence and let it flow naturally. Although Locky didn’t have his best game, I’m really impressed with his running game and good kicking. He really seems to have that second breath! All the forwards did a good job in defence, but Kenny was again nullified in attack. He doesn’t have the second phase play or the “wrap around” defence that justifies Tronc’s starting spot. Dodds was more damaging going forward today, very good effort. Anderson and McGuire had great go forward and did a solid job defending. Hoffman was magic, Yow Yeh solid, Folau did a fantastic job in both attack and defense, Glenn absolutely nullified Gasnier and belted anyone else coming his way and Winter improved dramatically from last week. Gillett was really good, put on some fantastic hits and didn’t attempt the impossible offload. He must have been warned about it, because he wasn’t as threatening as usual. He’s still young and I’m sure he will eventually find a balance between holding on to the ball or go for that second phase play. Thaiday and Parker are so consistently good, that you sometimes fail to notice how important they are. Damm, this young team with another year, Hodgo and Inglis hopefully replacing Folau, will be something to watch! Hornby was absolutely pathetic today, whining continuously to the refs about absolutely everything, while taking Folau out of the play irregularly several times, like he tried to do when he whinged about Izzy's second try! What happened to Soward’s little dance? Was he coughing too much to do it? [icon_shru Last but not least: Gordy, you are now officially a legend and deservedly so!
