I thought the defence was very solid last night. Apart from the Mannering try, the defence showed good application and attitude to defend our line on a number of occassions. For me Galloway was good up front in defence and Ayshford, I thought held his own on the right side. I'm not going to say anything about Inu's try because it was an arsy try, in most instances, this could be excused.
In terms of attack, we clearly looked more promising with ball in hand, but the execution was poor. Dropped ball on their line didn't help the cause, but again, could be forgiven at times considering the conditions. Benji showed glimpses of just what an attacking weapon he is, the way just leisurely picked up that ball and handed it off to Lawrence who did the rest to get the first try was outstanding, alot of players would've dropped it cleanly. And that ball that put Dwyer into the gap to set up our third try was awesome, there's a case to argue that he was difference between the two teams.
Kicking was better than last Monday, a reason being that Farah played a more active role in general kicking and didn't leave those duties to Marshall and Lui. I can't recall a kick that put us under pressure in our territory. Goal kicking should still be a work in progress for Benji, however was looking better than he was on Monday.
Overall, it wasn't outstanding, but a solid performance which showed clear improvement on Monday's performance, which in the early rounds is all that matters.
