Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3303393, member: 2290"] I’m cautious of healping too much praise given our ability to fluctuate so much between good and bad form but the biggest positives from this game for me were: 1. Gamble’s short kicking game has translated to first grade. The 10-30m kicks were his bread and butter in ressies and he’s now bringing that to first grade which is what I originally hoped he’d bring when he got the call up. 2. The last 2 games Riki has returned to the early career form that had us all excited. This is also thanks to great service from Gamble and the threat of Staggs but what a dynamic player he is when he’s on. Hopefully this is the new standard. The one shame is that he seems far stronger playing on the right - this is also Capewell’s stronger side but hopefully with Cape’s experience he transition successfully to left like he does in origin 3. Defence has far improved. I now feel confident the right edge will withstand what is thrown at them and likewise the middle. Our left side is still our biggest issue but at at the risk of igniting a [USER=1992]@Huge[/USER] thread derail, I have been mostly impressed with Herbie and Oates and this should improve further with the removal of Croft.[B]Edit: that being said I think tonight was Croft’s best game in a long time and he played his role well outside of a below NRL standard kicking game. [/B] The biggest concern from that game IMO was Haas. Although he still outperformed most forwards dream performances he looked far less effective than he has in previous weeks. Whether this is a case of losing motivation, being worn out from carrying the team, or Cowboys d’ing up on him I’m not sure but to me he didn’t seem like the Haas we’ve all grown to expect. That being said he still got 1 or my 3 votes in the player of the round thread. [/QUOTE]
