Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3507498, member: 9518"] I thought Walsh attacking the bombs sent his way and taking them with great confidence last night really lifted the overall team confidence. i know it really settled my nerves and let me thoroughly enjoy the game. Manly looked like they had nothing, but there was a 20 minute period where they were given some ball and a couple of repeat sets (6 agains) and they did have a red hot crack at us, but our boys just kept turning up for each other. The most outstanding thing about that period was we were doing it without Flegs and Haas. The other standout for me was the lack of HIAs. Apart from Capes getting his snoze thumped by a loose elbow, I can't recall a single HIA! I think Staggs was told to focus on defence and hit ups last night and forget about attack. He more than did his job in this respect. There was no real standout for me. Which in itself is pleasing as the boys are really starting to gel as a unit and play after play they look to know what each other is supposed to be doing. My one complaint is we still don't seem interested in setting up for repeat sets. Maybe it's because the ensuing dropout has become a lottery and if you get the kick in goal wrong for your repeat set you end up giving a 7 tackle restart. Has the percentages started to favour the idea of dropping the repeat set attempts? Perhaps there is some merit in that idea. [/QUOTE]
