Some of the most exciting footy in attack we've played all year ... Good win and i enjoyed watching. While i agree with T4L that this win will likely fuel teke's #savecarty movement, i think the winning feeling will be short lived. Too little, too late.
I think the team has banded together after the announcement of the internal review and increasing public scrutiny of Carty. I wouldn't expect anything less. But emotion only gets you so far. A coach without any technical proficiency will only get you so far. Realistically i don't think the team can keep it up, and anyone who isn't a blind supporter who watched that game, would be asking themselves;
- Why can't we play like that at home, in-front of our own fans?
- How can we use injuries as an excuse following every loss after a win like that?
- Why has the likes of Kingston and Ioane played so little footy for us?
- How does Don keep loosing his spot?
- Why has it taken this many games to look something like a NRL standard team?
- Why is Zillman an auto-pick and VC of the club when we play better without him on a consistent basis?
On another note, Mini was amazing today. I think contract talk has made him hungrier. If he keeps playing like he did today, there's no reason why we shouldn't take him on for another year. On the flip side, if today taught us anything, it's that the club needs to start trusting the young new faces coming through to lead the club forward. Kingston, Ioane, Don, KFFL, Roberts, Carter ... out with the old I say.
