True, but hopefully Starc takes a lot out of the experience and next time they meet he request the match up. Few of the players seemed a little off.Starc really struggling with Sexton.
Payne was impressive in the first half, kept King scoreless (wasn't involved with the turn over from Birchall kick in), but did give away a few frees in the second, maybe gaining a bit of confidence and testing how far he can go before being penalised, so not such a bad thing.
Fullarton is a lock for the early rounds, at least whilst McStay is out.
I just can't get too excited about Birchall, we have enough experience with Rich, Andrews, Gardner, he just seems to go missing in the tough stuff. Not that stats: are the full story but he gets a lot of cheap possessions. Answerth "is a goer" and whilst not as good a kick, when fit would be a better option IMO.
Obviously the club (hopes) Adams is somewhere in the backline, otherwise they would have probably given him a run in the forward line when he came on in the last Q. However he will have to be playing very well in the VFL to earn a spot in the backs.
Fingers crossed for Cam tomorrow.
