Message: [QUOTE="Wicko6, post: 2568584, member: 8362"] Good first game back ! [B]Barba[/B] was our best player, returning kicks, setting up tries with kicks, overall great game hopefully form continues. I thought it looked like he was playing five eighth in attack more so than Hoffman, but maybe that's just because he is a better ball player ? [B]Vidot[/B] Good signing, big boy for a winger, had a very good game in attack and didn't see anything wrong with his defense. [B]Reed [/B]Average, didn't really notice him on the field too much to be honest. [B]Copley[/B] What a game from the Aspley product ;) looks primed for a big year ! [B]Maranta[/B] Lachlan Maranta, you wouldn't believe it but he was one of the best players on the field tonight, never looked out of place like in every other game he has played for us. Great defending kicks, and scored the match winner without hesitation, also had a big run in the second half. [B]Hoffman[/B] played decent as a ball runner, definitely not a great ball player as of yet, though Ben Barba looked to have that role. [B]Hunt[/B] needs to better organize his players, and produce better kicks. As he did last year, showed flashes of potential, but lackluster overall. [B]McGuire[/B] showed good aggression to start the game, came up with some good defense on our line. [B]Macca[/B] good game, looked to be getting the team going forward in patches there. Should do the kicking, rather then Hunt do it. [B]Parker[/B] was Parker, never stopped working, didn't see much of a difference in his game from moving to prop. [B]Glenn[/B] was average I thought, though he always has been. Not bad though, just not great. [B]Thaiday[/B] Really loving his new game. Thought he was way overrated, lazy player since Locky left. Looks to have stepped up his game [B]Gillette[/B] good hard running and offloading as always [B]Hannant[/B] was excellent, some big hard runs and heavy defense [B]Kennedy[/B] was our best forward for mine, not sure why he didn't get much time in the second half ? Defended like a mad man, shows awesome aggression that I think will lift the team. Also open fist punched Ennis which I liked. [B]Lowrie[/B] is a good workhorse defender, doesn't back down. Didn't offer much in attack but we don't really need him to do anything special [B]Wallace[/B] should have got some playing time [B]Overall[/B] I think we defended like the Broncos of old, players didn't get lazy, had good scramble defense and defended our line very well for the majority of the night. Although I do think we need to go up and meet the attack more, we still are waiting for them a bit. Attack looked better than last year, credit that mostly to Ben Barba. He injected creativity into the attack that wasn't being provided by the halfback/Five Eighth pairing. Good to see a bit of a change from the five hit up/bomb strategy, with some solid back-line movements that gained meters. Now looking forward to the game next week, hopefully I'll be there !
