Message: [QUOTE="Steve, post: 2401295, member: 1799"] Well hindsight is a wonderful thing but I guess playing Gillo at five eighth wasn't quite the best option... He's a ball-playing back rower not a five eighth and Hunt was probably the better choice. I felt Wallace really busted a gut out there last night. He took the line on many times but just didn't have the support players trailing him. His kicking game was off but all of our kickers struggled with the wind which was clearly gusting inside the ground. I concur with Coxy's earlier comments about the senior players. From where I was sitting we came out nervous as hell at the start of the game and our players dropped their heads after those two early penalties and the Balin try. Whatever was said behind the try line didn't work. Also, the first 10 minutes of the second half was so disappointing. We were just legless in defence. Having said all of that I can't be anything but satisfied with how we've gone this year. We exceeded all expectations and nearly jagged a premiership in Lockyer's final year. It's a sad way for him to finish his Broncos career but I'm comforted by the fact that I was there to witness his last act in our jersey in picking himself up off the canvas to win us the game. Really it's a fitting way for him to go out and for us to remember the man. As for next year I'm desperately unsure as to our halves pairing. The good thing is we have a full pre-season to get things started but people really shouldn't expect things to gel from the get-go. Wallace is an organisational half back not a play-maker so we need someone who can spark something and I think Norman is that player. [/QUOTE]
