Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3363433, member: 9518"] Oh how I needed that win. GO YOU MIGHTY BRONCOS!!! The whole team/club looked invested in that game last night. Patty's stupid grab at Cook was uncalled for and cost us dearly and our poor discipline in giving away needless 6 agains needs to be sorted out tout suite. That's the negatives out of the way. I can now bask in our glorious efforts last night. Payno was immense and it was great to see him getting his efforts rewarded. We showed our steel out there last night. Alby and Skip Walters were brutally smashed on a few occasions (particularly by Arrow) and both managed to bounce up and play on. I think Kevvie might go with Skip and Reyno as he had Alby play 7 last night, so it means the least amount of change in the halves. That being said, I think Skip is more suited to the 14 for us as he can also cover Turpin/Paix. Staggs was over keen and needs to dial it back a bit, but my god him and Cobbs will cause opposing teams nightmares when they gel. Imagine when Reyno starts feeding them early ball. And what about the try that went begging when he was tackled without the ball? We should have at least did a captain's challenge on that as no way was it simultaneous. Additionally, I thought some of Patty's runs backing up Payno's metres were a joy to behold and I'm so pleased to see him come back bigger and better from his ACL woes. Hope that gives young Willison some encouragement too as we'll need him mid-season for sure. 'The premier'- (Anastasia Palasia) also played a tremendous role in ensuring our go forward from Haas continued. I thought Capewell was fairly quiet in the first half, I was actually disappointed in his lack of involvement to be honest, but jeez he made up for it in the second half. I think him and Herbie will work really well in both attack and defence as the season progresses. Considering we still have Hetho, Flegs, PiKura, Paix and Jensen (and later Willison) to add to our forwards stock our depth looks very encouraging for the rest of the season. Isaako deserves a pat on the back. He was solid under the high ball. His positioning was much better than last year and it was also noticeable that he put his hand up to take a couple of tough carries out of our own end when we were under the pump. Even after being smashed on his first hit up he came back for more. That showed his commitment to the team and I think Tesi is not a walk up start when he is back to full fitness (provided we get no more brain snaps from Jamayne). Finally, I was wrong about putting in Roberts over Martin though. That last pass to Isaako for the field go was abysmal. He was fairly fresh on too. So no excuses there. But take a bow Kurt. What a clutch play from the stand-in captain. Made it look so easy and it was the icing on a very enjoyable cake for me. [/QUOTE]
