Just watched the game. Some very positive signs from the underdog Blues - willingness to attack (for example Pearce's last tackle long pass out wide to Morris early on), solid defence, and a lot of enthusiasm.
I think our backline is the best we've had in years. Gasnier wants to be there and it shows. Jennings is lethal when he actually gets the ball. Dugan and Uate were the two best debutants of the night. The only change I would make is Hayne in for Morris.
The difference between the sides was Matt Scott. He was phenomenal. I can't even think of a player who's eligible for the Blues that has ever played a game like that.
It was only due to Thurston's shithouse goal kicking that the scores were so close at the end. But even if he'd converted, it was a team that's been together 6 years only just winning against a new side full of rookies. So the future lookes promising for NSW.
