Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3113428, member: 9518"] I'm pleased Issako had a great game (loose carry excluded). His kick returns were mostly solid and the little offload with TPJ was great to watch. I'm also pleased the team never felt the need to use the captain's challenge and (in a sort of old school way) accepted and respected the referee's calls. They could have challenged Herbie being tackled in the air while fielding a bomb, but apart from that the refs were pretty much spot on. It's only game one, but Flegs looks like he has grown, matured and learned from last season. He is much faster retreating the ten after the tackle thus allowing himself time to reset for the next set. Last year he was being targeted for his lazy runs back and became a bit of a penalty magnet. Turp's try last night follows on from his try in the trials where the defence went to sleep. It confirms that he is watching and scheming and this will be picked up by oppositions soon enough meaning he will attract more attention thus helping to free up his hole runners for that crucial extra split second. Boyd was on there to help organise the defence. Well he needs to do a bit of overtime on his outside man (Oates) as he is still rushing in off his wing. Early days, but our stupid and dumb plays from last year seem far less apparent. With three debutantes last night our overall defensive structures can only get better as the season goes on and combinations begin to gel. The team deserve an overall 7/10 for last night. Well done boys, ruining the Cow's opening night was a added bonus. The schadenfreude this morning is still off the charts. [/QUOTE]
