For me , one of the key things was the Magpies having experienced heads Parsons, Dixon and Evans On the paddock deep into the game .
And Canterbury’s bench I thought did’nt really offer a lot..
On Fakatava, yes he’s a young guy , but at the minute he suffers from the Augustine Pulu syndrome, what’s in it for me is my first option ..he actually surveys before clearing the ball, to the point of delaying putting extra pressure on the midfield .. -
What a nailbiter that was. Best forwards for me were Flanders, Dixon and Parsons, although O'Connor also won a few important turnovers. And, of course, Evans as soon as he came on. Best back by far was Jonah Lowe, but youngsters McClutchie, Fakatava and Toala also had a good game.
The ref was annoying, but I think he didn't disadvantage one team more than the other.
