[QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 3035588, member: 2221"] This is one for the ages! Yes, we're still a bit unpolished, but it would be hard not to given the average age of this team and the amount of rookies in it. You can clearly see some of the structure Seibold is putting in place, halves combination starting to form, forwards getting a bit more enterprising and solid efforts all around, including from the captain, even if his ball handling (normally a strength) let him down. Shibasaki showed a much improved version of himself in the centres despite his ball spilling in a bad position and it was a great welcome back to THIS Isaako (take heed Jimmy). They did well to contain the vaunted chooks left side attack. An even better welcome to the club James Segeyaro. Thank you for that try and wiping that shit eating grin from latrine's face! The rest of the backs was solid, worked their butts off, and more importantly, didn't make those coach killing errors we've seen repeatedly occurring in past games bar the Shiba one (which they defended strongly). This is the sort of game where opportunities are few and far between, so you want to see that defensive desperation that will guarantee victory and they all showed it! Dearden was again good and is building to something. Such a cool head on a very young half is awesome to see and I can see him grow into something very special next to a Milford who is also starting to come into his own again. Turpin was really good feeding ball to his forwards, running at the right times and defending strongly. He hit and stopped big forwards on the spot. Segeyaro continued the same trend where he left off, almost not missing a beat, even if you can see he is a little rusty. Masterful try and even better "faceball" on the final whistle. Onya Segs! Macca has plenty to be concerned about, even if I am not as much a critic as many others. All the forwards were excellent, and I can't fault Seibs use of the bench this time. Of course, Haas stood very tall, but Lodge and TPJ certainly weren't bad company. The undervalued Gillett was awesome in that right edge, shoring it up masterfully in defence, while still chasing kicks hard and leading the defensive effort from the front. Of course, he doesn't do that much running, so a lot of people who see the likes of Haas, Lodge, TPJ, etc... ripping it up, are underwhelmed and don't notice his hard work in all other game aspects. The thing is, he doesn't need to, exactly because you have Lodge, Haas, TPJ, Ofa and Flegler making the hard meters, but I do hope he builds a combo with young Dearden in attack and of course, he really can't drop sitters like that. It was a 4 pointer gone begging and he knew it. As much as the first chooks game wasn't the end of the world, this game also doesn't mean we're going to spank everyone from now on. This is a very inexperienced young team, who will have more ups and downs, but it's undeniable the trend is up in my opinion. Credit to Seibs for his patience and perseverance, which is starting to bear fruit although we still have ways to go. Some of you will have to swallow the sour grapes and live with it, or perhaps take the easy way out and... just move to Redfern. [/QUOTE]
