also what was that about rain around benny?
Good win by us against the Warriors. Our attack looked very crisp in the first 25 minutes but we fell away badly at the end of the first half. Our defense was good all game, which was encouraging. Cherry-Evans and Foran were solid as always but the man of the match should have gone to either Lyon or Tony Williams imo. Injuries are already a bit of a worry with Matai and Stewart's fingers being broken/dislocated but we have Farrar who is a more than capable centre to come into the side.
We need to cut out the dumb mistakes when we're on attack. Too many times we picked the poor option of passing when we should have held it and bar Williams awesome kick to set up the try and Ballin's chip in the corner our attacking kicking game was lacking. Warriors looked good but like us need to cut out the silly mistakes. Vatuvai dropped the ball cold about a half dozen times costing them field position and possession (and a try at one point). Hurrell looked very dangerous when running the ball and he will have a bright future if he keeps it up. Johnson easily the Warriors player of the game, directs them around the park very well and looks dangerous when he hasthe ball in the oppositions half.
Tony Williams had a great game, and thats the kind of running he needs to be doing every week. Lots of hit ups, straight and hard running. Maloney had fits trying to get a hand on him. Kite and King really disappoint me, i wish they'd stop backing into tackles and just run it hard. Overall we played alright but far from our best and likewise for the Warriors but compared to the other games this round then this was quality.
