Milford and Hunt are shaping up as a top halves combination, now looking to, and getting the ball out to the edges and beyond. That is where are strength is - edges and outside backs. Milford looks to be finally realizing he is playing 5/8 and is looking and reading the game and boy did it show tonight, what he can do as well as being a top notch ball runner. I am at last becoming convinced he is the 5/8 we needed.
Our defensive line speed is by and large, crap and is our real weakness. The Knights made far too many metres while our defensive line just waited, even though it was a little better in the 2nd half.
Kahu is simply a top tier talent, as is Oates. Selection headaches ahead...
I thought Molo and Offa went very well which bodes well for our bench and beyond down the track.
But for mine, this was the game where we showed, thanks in large part to milford and Hunt, what we can do when we pss the ball, offload and run in support.
The 2nd half (and the ball movement) was just great to watch.
