Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2589393, member: 2221"] It's clear that with Griffin as coach and thus, Hoggman at 5/8, we're never going to excel and play exciting footy. Yes, the Tits were missing players, but so were we. In fact, until Sezer went off, we were practically on equal terms, as they were missing Bird, Harrison and Kelly, while we were missing Hannant, Thaiday and had Hoffman at 5/8. They played the football that has been getting them results so far, albeit I agree they are certainly over-achieving and probably won't finish in the top 8, now that their run with lucky tries ran dry. Regardless, their wins have been reliant on defense and grind, and I'm honestly not so sure they would've been much better without their injuries. In fact, you only need to remember the game in Robina for that purpose. We can all argue that any team would've beaten them, blah blah, but fact is you can only play what's in front of you, and plenty of teams have broken their teeth on the Tits resolve this season. Our game was really of two halves, and within the limitations we have (hoggman, one out footy), we did a good job of totally dominating possession and field position to wear them out in that second half. Hodgo's brilliance and Hunt's improving kicking game finished them off. Was it pretty? Not by a long shot, but it got us the points. In individual terms, I feel that Hodgo probably should've got the MOTM award, but I don't think Gillett was undeserving. He was certainly very good tonight, as opposed to last week, and made sure Taylor had zero impact for the Titans. Vidot was a beast as always and how much longer until Copley gets the nod at centre over Reed? I know the latter wasn't even too bad tonight, but FMD, it just feels like there's really no one there... Hunt made up for a poor first half, as did Macca. Barba was a busy bee and looks to be getting back his elusiveness. It's only a matter of time until he breaks through the line without anyone hanging to him by a thread... In the forwards, Glenn was ok but wasn't involved enough, while Moose and Cozza just kept putting us on the front foot. Besides the people mentioned, credit to Lowrie for his game. He made a big difference tightening up the ruck, where we've been soft. Oates was today's Griffin brainfart. 19 minutes played no mistakes, good strong runs and... off for the rest of the game. Except Hodgo's twinge forced Hook's hand. I'm really just lost for words at his fucking ineptitude! [/QUOTE]
