Message: [QUOTE="Rally Towel, post: 2675913, member: 8569"] Having watched replays and highlights, I'm feeling better about our performance. It was a tense game that we only just clinched at the death, so I think it's natural to be critical at first. Looking at it with fresher eyes however, a few things do stand out to me. Firstly, yes, our line speed and defensive structure allows for the opposition to gain easy metres. You could argue it also makes it tough to break the line outright. Proof is on the scoreboard. Personally, I'd rather we were more aggressive in this respect, and I'm curious why the Roosters game was an anomaly in that respect. Perchance it's a strategic choice based on the opposition? Secondly, it was a low scoring game we were lucky to run away with at the end. However, Glenn was held up twice, and Kahu once. We were very close on all three occasions if not for some dogged defence. Plus Reed's dropped ball on the try line. The execution in all instances could have been a little better, but we were far more likely than the Panthers throughout. To that end, I can't agree that the Panthers were the better team. Sure, they won the battle for territory off the back of their forwards and Soward's kicking, but they rarely troubled us on our tryline. We were much more threatening in attack, and with a little more luck that scoreline could well gave been a blow-out. Work those set plays and kicking. Get that right and we'll reap the benefits.
