Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2669307, member: 8315"] It was a roller coaster of a game. I agree with others that have said we would have lost a game like that in seasons gone by. Whether it was Griffin, our playing squad being a year older and wiser or the Bennett factor, I don't really care. The team of 2015 is different. A few things I'll add: Regarding Thaiday and Glenn. Credit where it's due, these two have been immense in the last few weeks and have consistently been involved in some crucial plays that have swung momentum our way. Outstanding effort. My question to the forum is this: How much do you put it down to them being used more effectively this season and how much is down to them them playing for a contract? 50/50? 90/10? Is it still too early to tell? Keen to hear your thoughts. These are two players that Bennett has publicly called out to lift and they are rising to the challenge, no doubts there, but it's funny how off-contract players tend to do that. Our forwards were outstanding. They got the better of the Roosters pack. I haven't seen the Roosters rattled like that in a while but we seemed to look so much faster and fitter than they were. We hit harder too and Thaiday deserves a lot of credit. It was his best game in several seasons. It was a lead from the front performance of the highest order. Our halves were a real mixed bag for mine. They did not really capitalise on all the great work our forwards did and they need to improve. The kicking game is really below par and needs to get better. I'd like to see more of a focus on getting repeat sets. The Roosters had that worked out and very nearly got us. I know our halves are a work in progress but we really can't afford to be giving away so many 7 tackle sets. Hunt seems to be aware of it though as he looked dirty on himself after several kicks. It was an absolute delight seeing him score the match winning try. How many did he beat? I lost count. Superb win, looking forward to the Dragons game. [/QUOTE]
