Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2581906, member: 1847"] To me, 4 key things stood out in the Knights game which transformed this team. The other posts touch on others as well. 1. Barba. He got involved. He popped up when he was needed, and he did things this side has been lacking for years. He played as a second (or was it 1st) 5/8, creating opportunities, making plays. The Gillett try was a gem. At last, Gillett was used as he should be every match, running holes set up by clever playmaking. 2. Energy and enthusiasm for almost 80 minutes across the park. 3. Support play. So so good to see. 4. Ball movement. We made the ball do the work. Haven't seen that for ages, consistently, for so long throughout the match. 5. Defence - on the whole, absolutely 1st class, although there were moments when we still gave them too much room to move. We give Inglis and Sutton room, we have real problems One problem, Hunt's kicking needs to improve. Too many 7 tackles given away, but he's getting better slowly. He actually did a cross field kick and look what happened. Please give Vidot some chances from cross field kicks. It would be good to see Macca and Barba take on more of the kicking respnsibilities. While I still would like to see Barba at 5/8, I know it won't happen, but if he keeps bobbing up on both sides, he will make up for our lack of a proper 5/8. If we build on this performance, I can see a win by 12. [/QUOTE]
