So what were the positives?

[Andrew Walker]

In fairness I blame Sammy a bit for a high chest pass when he had an age to set himself there. Hit the gut nice and soft when at full pelt like Ted was.

I thought the pass was thrown hard and fast to clear the defender that was lurking between them Wade Egan it was

[Rooster1908]

We weren't as bad as them .That's a positive

[Rocky Rhodes]

Positives:

Our Southern Hick Lindsay Collins is now a consistent grunt-er. Two MOTM efforts in a row...well best for us at least.
We are now level with NZ with 22 wins each
We are undefeated in regular home games at our new shinny stadium, enjoy it while it last (likely a week)
Keary lasted another game without concussion
We are not 0-2 like the Eels...one of our competitors for top 8.
And we got 2 points.

That's about it.

an imp 2 points. turps really stepped up, defended well and is a pretty good dummy half. teddy's teddy. paolo was good. keary and walker looked likely. manu will be better after the run. suaalii will create plenty this year and we won with an inexperienced pack

Trent was quite complimentary of turps

[RoosterBooster]

Lots of positives;

Jackson Paulo’s strong carry’s
Manu has a game under his belt and will be better for the run
Turpin
Fletcher, Whyte and May played well.
Good crowd, 16K
Walker turning into a leader, at one stage he pushed Turpin out of hooker cause he wanted the carry. Really owned it , even took some forward hit ups as they were so gassed. Also some great boot lace tackles
Lindsay Collins showing he can take over the leader role next year when JWH leaves

Yea regardless the Australian fullback needs to take that

[A Country Member]

We won that’s the positive.
It’s better than losing.

Wise words. Does that mean we’re gf bound?

[A Country Member]

Fletcher Bakers first 15 was immense. More of that please

[roosterchook]

Way better defense. Better completion rate.

[roosterchook]

Another plus is you can see Suualii is of great concern to our opponents. Illegally tackled all night to stop line breaks that were definite tries. A superstar that is fast becoming as effective as Teddy. A good replacement for when Teddy goes.

[Carlos Parra]

I thought Egan Butcher played ok. I'm not yet convinced, as some others are, that he is is complete waste of space.

[Easts75]

They slaughtered tries and lost key players (we lost the cheese yes)
It's a win but if you are being honest we didn't see anything to give us much hope over the next month
Lindsay and Sammy were good

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Glad we got the 2 points! First win of the season
