Worst 1st half of our season and one of our best second halves. I am very proud of our team and they will get such confidence out of that. That will also be great for the youngsters in the team, I don't think they have ever had a win quite like that so glad to see them get some joy.
I was disappointed in our front rowers, we had no go forward in the first half and I blame them. No one stood up in the absence of Snowden, including Dougie imo (who has been awesome for weeks). One of the tries was his fault and another was Cuthbos (who was nothing short of terrible).
Also it has to be said, Tim Smith, again, was just the ****s. Great kickoff that got us the win at the end, I will give him that, but he was **** and I am quickly running out of patience with him. Really Barrett's retirement is looming and do you really want this guy to be the halves leader in his current form? I hope he improves.
Other than that the rest of the team came out in the second half and showed alot of heart and I am so proud. John Morris was brilliant, Aiton also showed he is a great buy, yet again! Barrett was not at the level he has been but he was giving our side structure and direction all game and was a real leader.
Poms had an outstanding game and I can't understand the critiscism. He wasn't perfect but he dominated the Cowboys and while I wouldn't go anywhere near man of the match for him, we wouldn't have won if he wasn't there this week.
Tautai was much improved and looks much more suited to backrow.
Collis was the most solid player in defence on the field imo. He was great.
