Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3310264, member: 2290"] Surprised with the performance. The good defensive efforts continued despite the backline re-shuffle which I think shows the improved defence isn’t just a few players but an attitude and systems improvement. Coates did still come off his wing all night but they were able to cover him. Bench usage was pretty good I thought, though Flegler probably played a little too long and I’m not convinced Riki should be playing 80 minutes yet. His defence drops off pretty bad in the back end of games, and Robati could probably give him a break. Mead was far improved compared to his last stint in the centre’s and I think he and Oates the best wingers at the club at the moment (for better or worse). Cobbo and Coates can be fairly proud of their defensive efforts tonight considering how inexperienced they both are, however both really struggled to make any metres or produce any opportunities other than the Coates bat back to Riki. Cobbo looked a little underdeveloped physically at centre and put in a good but unimpactful performance. Overall I was happy Isaako wasn’t there during the close game, as that is just the type of situation where he starts to fall apart. Kennedy took that role on nicely though with his unforced error that would ultimately cost us the game. Overall a good effort against a very under strengthed Roosters. Disappointing just how easy it is for this team to lose games. I even said out loud when Kelly earned that give-me 2 points in front of the posts - “broncos will botch this win” [/QUOTE]
