Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2680106, member: 8440"] Maranta was brilliant and showed great determination to pull down a much bigger man. He also showed good speed to catch Gagai from behind when it looked like he was in the clear. Reed was great, but I still can't help but wonder, with Boyd obviously favouring the left side of the field with all backline moves, and with Milford now warming to the task, how good it would be to have Copley at left centre instead of Reed. I just feel Copley would offer a lot more with the same amount of opportunities Reed is getting. Its a shame though that Copley gets injured before his return game after being dropped a couple of weeks ago. I also enjoyed Bennett recognising areas we could improve and taking action by making a few crucial adjustments. For instance moving Kahu to fullback and Maranta to centre, as well as later on moving Maranta out to the wing and putting Vidot at centre. I think Bennett realised Kahu offers a lot more attacking wise than Maranta while still being just as safe under the high ball. Kahu to fullback was the turning point I believe, and you could see the immediate difference straight from the kickoff. The first try after halftime could be put down due to the Kahu linebreak due to some brilliant footwork. That was the difference in the end as it got us on a roll and back on the front foot. Likewise Maranta's inexperience in defending at centre was becoming a bit noticeable. Bennett realised that Maranta was ever so slightly getting caught out of position and made the change before the Knights fully exploited it. [/QUOTE]
