Prob his best game in a month or more

Even if his tackle % was down on usual there was lots of little extra efforts along with general energy and enthusiasm with the ball in attack

Engaged the markers and incoming defensive line with a short scoot from dummy half before passing quite a bit, especially coming in off the short side

That spin he did on the seagles try line before passing to a runner :love:

he is such a better player when he is up tempo and scheming instead of playing a generic tackle and service roll and I think it's a good thing he continues to rarely put boot on ball (often not a good result)

Doesn’t get enough credit week to week for absolutely nailing the fundamentals of the dummy half position.

He has the best service in the comp and it’s not even close.

He's in frame for a short time but always seems to make smart choices about when to direct the attack, snap the ball out or take a run. A big part of our success this year

Read somewhere Blake has a season leading,Game high tackle average of 45 or something.Talk about babyfaced assassin
Yeah the tackles amounts this season are really even, Cook has the most average tackles but Brailey is 2nd. Mahoney/Brailey/Koroisau/Robson are all about the same, Murray averages close to them as well. So he's up there with some good players.

He has the most tackles altogether by 5, ahead of Mahoney

cotter had 60 in less minutes, huge effort from anyone who went over 45 in that level of play and fatigue
Cotter is a machine isn't he. I thought Blayke engaged the markers really well in the first half to buy us a few 6 agains. Not suprised we saw less in the second half if that was his workload.

Cotter is great, an even better McInnes so early in his career.
Will be interesting to watch how his career evolves, having gone hooker to 13 to prop on sheer desire to be involved and relentlessness.

For sure. Almost the exact same number of tackles per minute. Origin level efforts
