Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2662458, member: 2221"] Just saw Wayne's presser, and I was glad to hear he wasn't that impressed with this game as the score would tend to imply. We got away with the first 30 minutes, but were not the better team until then imo. After that, the Cowboys just dished a ton of garbage and we took advantage of it with some nice attacking footy. This doesn't mean that we don't deserve credit and many players showed great signs today of better things to come. I was honestly disappointed in Blair's first half, but he certainly rose to the occasion (silly stuff aside) in the second half, covering for Moose's loss. Maranta did not drop the ball or stepped on the line for his tries, so that's a positive, but despite making 90 meters in that break, I think he completely stuffed it up. Besides as the only player with a possibility to catch Kyle Feldt, not only did he show how slow he was, he ended up giving up. When Ethan Lowe showed him up for speed too, it just confirmed what he isn't... a good winger! On the positive side, besides Hunt's amazing ability to break the line and push big guys out of his way, I liked Milford's performance on both sides of the field, Corey Parker's return to his usual brilliance, Macca's guidance and pretty good service, and Matt Gillett's clean-up work besides that nice offload to Hunt in one of Maranta's tries. Of course, big wraps for Wallace and Ofa in their longer stints due to Moose's concussion, they didn't shame themselves at all. Kodi did what he does, but disappointed me as well in Kyle Feldt's chase... expected more from him. MOTM for mine was Kahu, gaining confidence game by game and starting to show what he is capable of. That first dropped ball should have been a penalty, as it was pushed out of his hands by Moga, but he was otherwise very solid in defense, but also improved a lot in attack. He will never be a Milford type of player, but much more a fullback in the mold of a Khunt for example. It's too early and I don't want to jinx him, but hopefully in another 2 or 3 games, he may have a lot of people wondering if we're not better off with Boyd on the wing. [/QUOTE]
