It was a good effort by Maranta, can't blame him for anything so far. But he still looks pretty slow, it's what's been hurting him as a winger.

Didnt look too slow just then. Morgan was always agead of him.

Consistently yes, but That is hardly a display of the boring "Bennett ball" pushed

my point was we have played similarly over the last 3 years ... does that mean "Griffin ball" is a myth as well

I partly agree. I think he slowed down because the fullback clearly had the angle on him. I thought it was a smart play - he could've pinned the ears back and be put into touch or step inside, try to beat him one on one and get a quick play the ball.

He's shaping up to be a fine winger.

We just scored 32 points in a half.

Can't we just focus on that and the players rather than get into another Bennett pissing match and deciding his success based on a 40min period?

Blair 3 runs for 19m and 14 tackles in the first half... an improvement but still a LONG way to go.

however TBF, he he tried to get a few extra runs early, but the ball kept going away from him

**** knows I'm enjoying the game but still weary of the cows. Kicking game far superior. Thank god no Matty Bowen. What we do now shows if we're a different side from recent seasons. Go boys

I don't recall EVER seeing him pin the ears back.

besides he is just keeping the position warm until Boyd gets back and Kahu takes it from him

The proof will be the second half. In Griffin's tenure we'd go on to lose this game by 2.

I really hope this is where we'll see the difference in the coaches.

They don't need to be filled with false bravado and go into cruise mode. Job is nowhere near done. Stay mean, stay hungry. Challenge them to show that's their benchmark.
