It's nice to win and it's nice to win showing some form for a change.
Should you analyse a win critically?
Probably not, but here goes ....
A few observations ...
Tali looked to be settling in. I found the song from the choir amusing about him getting over the jet lag.
He is clearly not match fit, but what a prospect when he is.
Looking forward to his development.
The Delaney brothers were very effective for a first hit out in an unfamiliar side.
I liked the way Brad passed the ball like a little general confident in his ability.
He is very slight and got hammered once, but he got up and carried on well.
His brother made some good scooting runs one of which nearly got him a try.
So happy with those two.
Forward power was more evident.
The lads coming back made a big difference.
Tom Carr ... a top player, and it is no coincidence that our form came back when he returned.
Louis Sherriff ... what a talent and what a trier.
He showed he is not the fastest when he got that breakaway, but he never hesitated.
Backed up properly and that was a try, but no.
Give me thirteen Sherriffs in a side and there is no need for deputies
I was slightly miffed with Kesik for persisting in going down our right and getting nowhere, when clearly our left was a better option.
And then Kelly scored down the right.
That shut me up for a millisecond!
Kesik was very influential, more of the same please.
Negatives?
It, like recent games at home didn't pan out like a home game, we ended up defending again for long periods and there was only six points between the teams.
Sqeaky bum time was approaching until Tonks scored ...DOWN THE LEFT!
Apart from a few bits of artistry and effort giving us the win, there was nothing much to pick between the sides and this is with a much weakened NWC side.
Still a concern I would say.
It's moving in the right direction though.
A bit more nous and a better kicking game would help?
But that's me back in the fold.
