Great win. People will say that Broncos weren't playing their best and thats why we won.. But thats not really true. We never let them have the chance to play good. We clearly dominated that match.
All our players played good and capitalized on the conditions the game had. All players played their part in Brian Smiths genius plan. De Gois ripped the field up from dummy half. He knew exactly when to run and when not to run, catching markers offside and runnings through holes in the defence. Ndaria did well to replace him as well.
Gidley was great IMO. He went in at receiver a few times and chipped in with some good passes. Was there in support and was great out of dummy half. Very good effort from him last night.
McManus.... Can he ever play bad ? Not only did he keep Folau out of the game.. bar one mis timed catch... He was his usual self making good yards out of dummy half and hit ups down our own end. Did well to chase down Hunt when he made the break.
Sau and Uate.... I don't think we have seen such dangerous players on one side of the field since Gidley and Tahu. Both played very good, Uate was safe under the high ball, make some damaging runs, running over their forwards and backs. Scored an 80m try as well where no one came close to stopping him. Sau did some amazing things despite being in pain as you could tell. Oh and to stop the ball going out was ****ing great to watch.
Mad DOG! Didn't he play a blinder! He marked... umm.. Justin who ?

. Not only did he rip the defence up, he defended quite well with McManus and pulled off a massive hit on Hodges.
Scott Dureau was good. Now once again i have to stick up for him. That try the he didn't score you can't really be critical of him. How many players would of backed themself ? Oh and who would of though Folau would pull off an amazing tackle like that? And you can't blame him for the Hunt break because he didn't score the try. We were in great field position with a good overlap. Anyway he did just what Brian Smith would of asked from him. Keep the passing short which he did working well with Faas to get up the field capitalizing on Broncos **** defence up the middle then working it wide to Mullen. His kicking was great as seen by the 40/20... or the 35/10 haha. Good solid game by Dureau.
Mullen played good too. Working good with the outside backs and with Dureau doing the dirty work in the middle and at first receiver it let him do what he does best... RUN the ball. Yes Brian.. You don't need your 100kg five-eighth to run the ball when Mullen does it better than all other five-eighth options.
Our forwards layed the platform tonight and did very well.
Great all round performance. Gotta love it!
