Such a great game. Very nervous when watching it as the enthusiam was always there but I was worried about their confidence (because of all the other recent games that have been snatched). We have a really good team this year but it is still finding its feet/combinations. If the team can just stay in touch with top 8 near season's end then we could have a real crack imo.

By no means am I saying this year is THE year but I certainly think our side can beat any side if they stay committed for the whole 80 minutes (and of course the odd bit of luck).

In terms of individuals:

Not prepared to say Porter is "the man" but he played very well and should stay until Kelly is back. Then it will be who ever is playing best between himself and Graham (who I rate but needs to get his kicking game in order).

Isaac Gordon and Stewart Mills were fantastic. I really would love these 2 to stay in the team long-term if possible. Although I rate John Williams also.

Another good performance by Poms other than 1 poor pass and 1 poor defensive read leading to the sole try. Great try-saving tackle in the previous play though.

Bukuya has just arrived!

Gallen and Toops were outstanding!

He was

Got to say Easts were pretty ordinary , very ordinary actually but that second half they tried everything and got no where - our scramble was great our assists were excellent , cover was brilliant .

I thought easts played well - the best Iv'e seen them play in a while, they just had nothing when the pressure was on - on our line + we killed them defensively.

Can't believe Mills got run down, he can't be the fastest at the club!!

I thought he was like second or third in a race at the club and he got run down pretty easily by Carney.

Also wanted to say that even though I've been on the guys back for past couple of weeks, Wade Graham had his best game for us against the Chooks. Good on him. Now back it up son!

Not bagging him but I thought he was a real speedster. I have watched it again and he is basically caught by everyone. Mini was catching him, Isaac was jogging and caught him, SFP caught up to him.

Agreed, he clocked up alot of metres in his running game which was good to see. Perhaps he's not quite ready to lead the team around and having Porter there helped him abit ?

a couple of points on the roosters:
- warea hargreaves and mose are the two biggest guys I have ever seen at a game, especially JWH he towers over snowy and at one stage were about to start hitting each other, I wish it happened.
- SKD and carney are just a step above anyone we had to defend them skd looked very dangerous everytime and never got tackled first time whereas carney was just putting the backs through gaps at every opportunity and making breaks himself. Was very nervous when these two got the ball on our line throughout the game.
