If Reyno was there last night we would have put 50+ on them and there's a chance they could have been kept scoreless. We missed him a fair bit last night (as expected) but to still got the W and we keep this streak going. That's the main thing.
Titans will be a tough one next week. We know form doesn't mean a whole heap when we play the Titans, they love coming up against 'big brother'. Hopefully Reyno is fit and firing but, the temptation will be there from Kev to give him the 3wks off (last night, next week & the bye). It could be the right decision come the back end of the season but I just want us to keep winning.
5 on the trot, I honestly can't remember the feeling.
The forwards and the backs are just immense at the moment.
Special mention to Gamble for last nights efforts, he handled the responsibility and stood up. He loved the boo's from the crowd too and he got the last laugh. I thought Ezra had some good touches and didn't look out of place. Sure he made a couple of mistakes but he certainly didn't put his head down. Playing alongside Reyno with his experience will be exciting to see but, there is no way you can take Gamble out of the halves now (unless we have a massive form slump..)
We are a noticeably different team when Paix comes into 9 and he's getting better every week.
Fleggs has really focused in on his technique, whilst maintaining good impact and meters. Haas & Carrigan need no mention because they're just so good every week. Jensen has also been very good and I absolutely love what Hetherington brings to this side. He is a gun.
Oates has turned back the clock, and I hope he repays the club by taking a bit of a cut to stay. His form the last few years has been down whilst on decent money but there will be a long list of clubs wanting his services.
One thing I noticed being on the sideline for last nights game was the combination on field between Gamble, Staggs and Cobbo. Gamble was screaming at the forwards and dummy half every time he wanted to kick. He'd point at Staggs and every time Staggs would yell across to Cobbo and nod, telling him we are on here. Literally every time Gamble kicked to the Cobbo's side.
Staggs deserves a fair bit of credit. His communication with Cobbo is certainly developing and Cobbo is very much depending on Staggs to tell him what is coming.
Its great to see.
And on Cobbo, this kid is something else.
He is so raw, but natural talent wise, I'm not sure there are many that compare. I don't like the comparisons to Inglis & Mitchell because I think he is different again to these guys.
He could legit be anything he wants to be. We cannot lose him and as much as I love Herbie, I think we should be making sure we tie up Cobbo long term first. Obviously I hope we keep both but what Cobbo has showed is something I don't think we've seen in the outside backs for 20+yrs (at the Broncos).
In short, there are no longer any plodders in this side.
It's just so good to see.
