The problem with freebies/cheapies is that with the extreme heat, it's an easy decision to just not go. I just feel the last few years of COVID, smoke, floods, extreme wet, now high heat it's been really hard trying to attract supporters to the game.
Tom Green went head to head with Laird - not a tag, just old fashioned 'beat your man' gameplay according to AK. Did bloody well. He's going to be a star ... maybe even as early as this year!
Well, what a gutsy round 1 win that was in the heat, with multiple injuries, and coming from 28 points down. Unfortunately, we may pay for it next week in hampering what is a winnable game against the Eagles. The west has never been a happy hunting ground for us, and we'll be three major injured...
5 - Steve Coniglio: 810m gained, 32d, 14 score involvements, bursting out of the pack for 8 clearances, what a magnificent game!
4 - Tom Green: 37d, 8 clearances, 12 score involvements: a very mature performance
3 - Toby Greene: led from the front, 4 goals, 10 score involvements
2 - Cal Ward...
