My favorite moment(s) from the game..

As above Marty (bats eyelashes) and Brooks burning Johnston for speed making him look like a numpty…..
 
One moment I remember which may have gone unnoticed was at the 55min mark with the score at 18-6\. The rabbits fielding a kick on their own I goal and spread it left with plenty of space and only kev and keefy in defense. Keefy chased in cover for 30 meters to allow kev to make the tackle on the centre and prevent a possible lengthy of the field try. It wasn't as spectacular as the moments Tapow or Brooks pulled off but it was a very important effort. It could have been 18-12 and a different ball game with 25 mins to go.

Didn't go unnoticed from my seat Tbone, and I posted about it in the Lovett and Lodge thread. It was particularly important as Kev was on one leg and not only did Keefy chase to get hands on Walker, he also shut down their winger Gray in the very next play as he was about to bust through behind the ruck.

It is odd how people look at a game and/or see it differently. Whilst they don't have the flashy plays that get them noticed by some, for mine the most instrumental players in gaining the ascendency were Galloway and Sue, yet they are probably the least mentioned players on here this weekend. Sure, Marty was dynamic in attacking the left to utilise his right arm fend, with the backrowers and bench doing their job in the mid game grind, but it was on the back of the platform of our starting props who also regained control when reunited midway through the second half.

Without the toilers in a side you struggle and our props can take a lot of credit for the win.They worked from begining to end and didnt give an inch.
 
It was Moses short ball to Teddy to score the last try for me.

Extremely well disguised and encouraging for future combos between the two.

Well done Mitchell.

Very nice play wasnt it???

Interesting that they used Lawrence as the decoy nearly every play whereas last week he kept getting it.Very nice change up.

PS….and I am again reminded of the fact that IMO Moses is our best playmaking half and Brooks our best running half.
 
That fend on Johnson was IMMENSE and a def wooohooo moment!

The only one i can think of as big as that was one by Ben Galea on Tony Martin years ago!

Agree Simon, he will be a really good playmaker as experience sets in.

Makes a difference having a good decoy runner and faster centres.
I think as he puts on a bit of meat he will take the line on more as well, which will disguise even more what he is going to do.

Agree at the moment that Brooks is a better runner of the ball though.

All of the above,and a special mention to Suaso Sue for running the ball hard up the middle….
 
did anyone see moses field the kick from the in goal in the last 5 minutes and almost bust through the line?

agree with tbone regarding keithy's chase- dont forget kevie as well. he knew keithy was no chance of catching them and he just hung off them until support arrived. great decision making!

santi making 3 consecutive tackles from marker was pretty good too

patty's clearing kick and dropout

the plays for marty's tries and teddy's last try

cons:
both brooks and moses kicking one out on the full
the try conceded was sooooo soft
injuries: hope they're not too serious
