Message: [QUOTE="NSW stables, post: 3226808, member: 10150"] Just re-watched the match. Tesi holds on to the croft in goal grubber, herbie holds onto the intercept and turpins try is not stolen by the officials and that is 3 more tries we scored. If the officials had a closer look at browns loss of control for the gutherson try (rather than gloss over it with one poor angle in order to make the game closer) and it is potentially one less to them. What i really liked was turpin skipping out from dummy half and drawing the markers/the middle before passing (mccollough actually did this a bit in 2015). In addition to drawing defence, it also forces our forwards and halves to run onto the ball which was a major issue last year. Asiatas involvement had the middle organised and his involvement in the ball movement provided our halves with better balls and got them deeper which meant the ball got to our outside backs before the defence was on them. Our outside backs pushed up hard in the defence (with croft and milf leading it to cut the ball off before it goes wide which is similar to strategy used by melbourne and the roosters) which improved our edge defence dramatically. The first half parra kept trying to go around us and they couldnt do it. It is only when they played up the middle where our defence still appears soft and slow that our defence fell apart. [/QUOTE]
