Just like last week, it just didn't look like we could win, yet somehow pulled something out late in the game to do so.
Seems odd to me again, that we were beaten on the inside, beaten on the outside but just not beaten for effort.
Penrith, Cottrell and then Blakey truned the ball over via poor efforts late in the last quarter where you just felt; There isn't a win to be had here. but.....
Williamson wasn't best on ground but just did things that made you say; I want some of that.

His daring to take the game on undid Collingwood a few times. Fair to say I forgot just how could he can be and more than his skill, was his courage. didn't take a backward step in is attack for the ball. I want to see this guy on the wing for us, as he's not simply a straight line player. One of those guys that waeves this way and that and then opens the game up in front of him. Our talls would love him......they need him.
Stocker again had a solid game and looks like a 25 year old out there and not a young man in his second game against senior bodies.
Only knock I had was on his kick-outs, as he didn't always take the best and most open options. Under instruction maybe? anyway, for a young-un, he's a beauty. You can just tell.
Fasolo tried to be cute with his delivery at times and when it worked, it looked good. and when it didn't.....you know.
Can't see an urgent call up for him just yet, but you never know.
Goddard was good and bad. bad only when the more agile Reid undid him on a few occasions, but overall it's hard to fault the effort.
Don't want to go into his limitations again, but one has to give it to him for his work today. Good on him.
Macreadie had a quiet yet effective first half, but did some great work later on, including some very important marks, intercepts and plays to advantage when the heat was really on. Building block game, but a good one overall.
Phillips and Lobbe started slow against #45 Lynch (SOS...get Lynch) but Phillips in particular became very important as the game progressed.
A couple of good marks and when he realised later on that his taps weren't serving our mids, he just went for distance and it worked.
BSilvagni was OK again. Nothing flashy but his body use stood out to me, as on several occasions, he simply stood his ground to block opponents. Not sexy but the team benefitted. Smart.
Lang was quiet and din't play in the backline. Mainly wing but not as influential as the prior week.
Cottrell surprised me as for the couple of poor things he did, he showed much more than I would have expected.
Moved well around the ground and positioned himself quite favourably. He was OK.
Kerr was good. Not the most imposing of tall forwards, but very workman-like.
If only he had the height and speed of Reid, he'd be more than handy, but he is a smart player and in the end kicked the goal that sealed the deal.
Garlett? I don't know. What now? He's not a forward.
