Great effort today - brilliant 4 1/4 determination.
Some obviously great signs.......
A dominant & skillful KOUTA (apologies to Kouta, I didnt think he could play at that level again - & It would appear he will only get better with a full pre season).
Bentick - has looked very good & hard at it since he has come into the side.
Best game Ive seen Teague play (not that there are any problems / concerns there).
Davies did some great & highly skillful things - certainly looked a lot better than Davey (given the Davey is coming back of a long lay off). But Davies setup severl forward plays & 1%'s that advantaged others in forward line contests.
As Pagan puts it, to win games like these our best players have to be at their best & we get excellent contributions across the board.
This certainly happened today in most cases, although Lance is obviously being played but nursed through games due to injury.
That said it was nice to see Lance nail the final sprit breaking goal & get amongst it himself.
At times this side has truly amazed.
I honestly didnt think we stood a chance today.
Lets hope we can beat the Pies twice in a year & finish off with 10 wins.
Great launching pad (to aim for the 8) for next year & beyond.
