Just watching the game, and the bunker goes back a set to send Nikora to the bin and turn over possession???
FMD.

Surely they need to be quicker than that!

Yeah but we should thank our lucky stars that it was only a sin-in as some commentators were calling it to be a send-off. Would have certainly been a different game if it was. Now we await to see if he gets a bit of a holiday.

No way it was a send off

We are definitely more defence focused this year

Even though it was bulldogs, keeping a team to 6 is a W, should've been 25-0 if nikora didn't go to the bin

Feel like the focal point in attack has shifted a little from Nicho this year... Looking a little clunky now but should stand us in good stead later on in the season.

Defence outstanding... Lead by Nicho.

Bulldogs turned up tonight so was a hard fought win. Not sure we can keep starting with McInnes at 13... We've been rolled early on in the middle 2 weeks in a row.

I thought one issue was we weren’t having too much luck in the middle (which you alluded to later) but then expecting the space to be there out wide.

Also timing was a bit off in a few places. One being how often you see Nicho take off then look for the pass an everyone else is 5m off the pace.
He’s quick off the mark but guys need to be awake to it
