Message: [QUOTE="Rally Towel, post: 2581662, member: 8569"] I'd rate that as our best performance this year. Tough start, weathered heavy pressure, made the most of our limited opportunities in the early going. Worked our way back into the game, and didn't look back. General opinions and ruminations : - Barba: classy performance all round. Got the monkey of his back with a try, an assist, and several crucial tackles. Hope that ankle pulls up ok. - Gillett: really seems to be hitting his stride. Great efforts in defence and attack. His judgement on when to make the big plays and when to just keep it simple has really improved. - Macca: continues to impress. Tackles for days, and keeps us rolling forward. Support play superb. Like Gillett, the extra responsibility this year seems to have upped his game. - Parker: quality performance all around. Was fantastic to see his offloads yield real dividends tonight. Goal kicking could still bite us in the ass in tight games though. -Hodges: much better! Kept Leilua quiet all night, and didn't try to do it all himself. Good effort to lay on a try for Copley (who also showed good presence of mind to cut inside and pivot to plant the ball down. No way Maranta would have scored that). - Hunt: Didn't get to pull off any really big plays, but put in a very composed performance. Some sub par kicking but steered the side around very well. Really shaping up nicely this year. Also, despite Hoffman throwing a bum pass, loved the support runners when Hunt set Hoffy up on that break. We had Hunt, Barba and Reed all backing him up. Nice! - Thought the refereeing was pretty dubious. Very soft penalties being tossed around early. Despite McGuire being a bit of a loose cannon, I remember seeing the count at 7:2 at one point. No way were we that bad. - Lastly, it was great to see them make life hard for Gagai. Would have killed me to see him have a blinder against us, but they shut him down hard. Very sweet win! Tough game next week though! [/QUOTE]
