Message: [QUOTE="Rally Towel, post: 2731412, member: 8569"] 3. Oates 2. Gillett 1. Boyd Really hard to split Gillett and Boyd. Oates gets the edge this week for his immense efforts getting us out of our end. His carries on tackle one and two, as well as two incredible efforts to make it out of the in goal denied the Warriors the opportunity to build pressure when they looked most likely. Highly impressed by his growing understanding in defence with Boyd. The careful pass in goal and covering that grubber all the way over the dead ball line? Superb stuff. Gillett was immense again. A bastion in defence, ran hard lines all night too. Fantastic try, I really hope we see that kind of play more often. He's really matured as a player in my eyes. As for Boyd, I just love the professionalism he brings to the role. Shut down sneaky kicks close to the line, defused bombs, made hard kick returns when our forwards were back peddling. Chimed in well in attack, support play, the whole works. He's not the best fullback in the comp, but I'd argue he's the most complete. Seems to have improved following injury/slow start last year. Both our halves were good too. Milford certainly looked more dangerous, but Hunt got our right side ticking this week. Roberts will come into play soon, it's just a case of attaining that synergy. I realise it's frustrating for people, but players aren't just cogs in a machine. It's not as simple as swapping one out, one in. See Milford start of last year, comparative to now? Most pleasing for me was Hunt's long clearing kicks. He found open space more often than not, and got some spin on them resulting in a few awkward bounces. Says volumes about this side that we can win comfortably even while playing that ugly. Lesson for this week is ball control. If we cut out those silly errors we'll be well on our way to another bumper year. [/QUOTE]
