Message: [QUOTE="nopatience101, post: 2275294, member: 1755"] Norman, Beale, Anderson & Gillett were brilliant.... Gillett in particular, his work rate, the speed he gets to his feet and his footwork, I knew what he was capable of from norths but I expected him to take some time to adjust... he was awesome... Anderson is the sort of prop we really needed, no fuss, tough bugger... Beale has really bulked up and read the play quite well... Normans calmness and confidence is the most impressive part of his game, he didn't rush himself, very imprerssive... defense was somthing i was worried about from him and he really stepped up... On a whole the side clocked off in the 2nd half off the back of 2 incomplete sets and lack of concentration the game got away from them, lucky in the end to hold on.... The first 15mins they really showed they had been working hard on defense in the off season and communication seemed to be there for the most part... Payne had us shot multiple times around the ruck in that period too and marker defense will need to improve.... Folau got very lazy towards the end of the game and tonga ran rings around him... Cowboys defense was pretty poor most the night so I'm not going to read too much into it and being a young sides the kids biggest problems will be consistency from week to week.... couldnt really fault anyone and wal, locky, parker and macca all had strong showings...
