We’ve started well.
I’ll get my coat....
that's a curse everyday of the week with this lot lol
I will say even if we do lose this, the effort already is much improved (well in this 40 anyway, still 40 minutes to drop their heads as per usual). Cant get a break injury wise Hiku dislocating shoulder early just shows the insane injury toll.
@bayimports now Harris off with a HIA. He’s been very good playing on the edge as opposed to in the middle.
A bit more effective on our last options. Not perfect, but better than the last few weeks.
RTS having a whale of a game.

the dropping of Katoa also good, basically put others on notice, but it allowed someone who can hold a defensive line in Curran to start.

Harris passed the HIA thankfully but Pompey who has improved a lot this season, now also injured
-
That’s the second knock on that the Dragons have got away with.

Curran has been good.

Woohoo, we are back. The drought is over. it’s our year.

wow, toughed one out, great to see. 39 out of 40 completions. defence was much improved. Plenty to improve on, but that was a well earned 2 points
-
It doesn't matter now, but why didn't they go for the DG when on attack? Instead it was just another ordinary kick on the last tackle.

Stupid right? Plenty to improve on and hopefully the coach will point that out in the sheds. Just nice to see the effort in the tackles and hit ups.

Good to see RTS get a lot more ball out wide. He looked more threatening more often. Ran for a massive 265m.

I reckon with Harris playing on the edge gave us a bit more space out wide for RTS to exploit.
And not taking the droppie was dumb. Fancy a NZ team hot on attack not taking a droppie so close....

@act-crusader yip. Harris is threatening down the middle with 2 forwards all over him. Out wider he is a bloody problem. That kid Curran was great. More please.

Curran has been good.
He ran some sweet lines and was big on defense(50 tackles).
Pompey looked very good too. Will be a big loss if he misses time.

And Latrell Mitchell up to his grubby best tonight too...

Wouldn't it have been 39/40 if the TMO had ruled a correct knock on from the referral? Which TBF would still be as hard to process.

They did complete 39/40 which is amazing anyway. The halves still look way off the mark, they engaged the line and actually executed the block play on the last a few times to allow RTS more room to attack on the fifth which was a nice change, but still there basic kicking was ordinary and the lack of a drop goal attempt at the end was worrying. We got good roll forward through the forwards which helped having two props back and for the record, Tohu played lock for most of the game, that is why he popped up on both sides of the field occassionally. He went to the edge when Jazz came on, and when BMM came on moved back to the middle. Curran dominated on his edge doesnt look to necessarily be a ball player but ran good lines and he had 30 of those 50 tackles by half time, seriously only hookers who play in the middle normally hit those numbers. It did seem to inspire those around him too with some good scramble at times.
Pompey continues to play with more confidence and was making more tackle busts as a result and Montoya having some good moments too. Dont want to lose either of them and hope Pompey can walk off his injury, Hiku will be out for a while and Aitken supposedly back from week 9. Happy to see Katoa and Fus sit out again if this is what achieved a better balance. Curran has to strat again surely.Other news Bunty apparently to sign extended contract this week.
The storm this week for the ANZAC clash, we used to be competitive in this but have taken a few beatings lately, I dont expect us to win it for sure, but would be great to put in a similar effort as they did against the dragons, who knows maybe with high completion rate, might be able to stay in the game long enough for an upset.
