Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2501994, member: 2221"] The Tigers came out with a game plan targeting Wallace by essentially getting Fulton to rush him every time he had the ball, much in the same way we did to the Cowboys when Gillett was charged with hounding Thurston. The plan clearly worked, as Wallace couldn't cope with it, but for once we had the rub of the green with incredibly soft tries offered to us on a gold platter, and our forwards, in particular Gillett, Parker and Hannant doing a fantastic job, followed closely by McGuire. Thaiday wasn't even bad, but he was our worst forward on the night. Even Macca was relatively okay (still slow service), with good get out of trouble kicks at important times and a solid game overal. Hunt brought a bit of spark, but I'm seriously over having him on the bench. He needs to go to Qcup and re-learn the halves trade. Let Baptiste or Granville do that job! In the backs, Prince had a few nice touches. Wallace played his worst game of the season partially for the above mentioned reasons, and because well... He ain't Thurston or DCE. All the back except one were pretty good on the night, even Maranta did a solid job out there. Last but not least... Can we please **** Norman off NOW! Seriously, it was less painfull watching Wallace struggle, than Norman's laziness in the first Tigers try, and the way he managed to not pass the ball with all the time in the world to do so, effectively costing us almost certain tries! A win is a win, and hopefully the bye will help creating some more resilience and build towards a better defence, because yesterday, we still managed to miss 28 tackles. The attack will get better as long as the forwards keep playing the way they played last night. Still a very tough assignment in NZ against this Warriors side... [/QUOTE]
