Must've watched a different game to me. I thought Minichiello really failed to stand up when we really needed him. His handling was downright ordinary and gave the ball away far too often. If you ask me he was the primary reason we were chasing points. If he held onto the ball early the Cowboys wouldn't have had it to score the points they did. He scored two tries but he didn't have to do much to get those. I thought Luke Bailey played one of his best games for a while.
Preston's tackle on Mason was just tremendous! Well done Preston.
smallest guy on the field tackling one of the biggest was the best.
and about Minichello, I thought his tries were pretty sweet. Maybe that's why he stood out to me. And honestly, the entire team was dropping the football so it's not like he was the only one.
Bailey played well though for sure. So did Friend.
That is what I love about Rugby League, the small blokes can compete against the big ones on an even level.
I was worried after the first two games and hopeful after the third but the Cows game has me wondering where we go from here because:
Bird just doesn't seem to fit our attack... his defence is undeniable.
Rogers and Tomane are too susceptible in defence.
Our backrow is predictable and one dimensional.
I would like to see Bird in 13 and Cannings back in the mix. Is Tonga close to a return? How is Toopi going?
Toopi is ripping it up for the Bears at the moment. LINKY
I watched the replay again today (yes I am crazy) and apart from Harrison and Friendy busting a gut and trying their hearts out, I though Zillman, apart from his misjudged chip, had a really good game. I had to go back and change my voting.
Can i just say i just watched round 4 defensive highlights, and the tackle preston campbell made on willie mason was outstanding,willie mason is at least twice the size of preston campbell and preston basically just lifted willie over his head.......RECOMENDED
