I think we can all agree that for the first 30 minutes or so we were ****ing useless yesterday. But after that we started to settle down. There were less ridiculous attempts at offloads. They started concentrating on kicking and territory. Then guess what? We ****ing score on half time and Manly didn't score again.
Our side is ****ing brilliant on their day but they need to get it through their thick heads that we can grind out wins, we can wear teams down. The brilliance is there but we need to be patient.
I was very happy to see Pearce and Carney take a few tackles instead of going for all or nothing on a single play. Same as Perret's try. He backed himself to have the pace and he scored. If he gets tackled we still have good field position and are on the attack - not watching the opposition score down the other end.
Lets hope the boys realize this and play smarter. They are immature yet brilliant. Next year is looking good but this year is not over. Some mature performances could see us do some damage in the finals.
