Their form line is very impressive, all through the finals series last year, the GF, and the JLT series this season. They had good, sometimes big, victories in all those games, without really kicking all that accurately.
I like the new flair, and the fact that we are finally trying to hit the scoreboard in some meaningful way. Attack is a very good plank in an overall defensive strategy, since you will win many more games kicking 120 points than you will kicking 80.
Much work still to do, but at least I can finally see a small dim light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully it's not a train.
If we could halve the number of cheap turnovers we would have wone that, even with 2 men down.... I haven't seen the whole game yet (tonight once kids are asleep) but I did see us cough the ball up a fair bit (Ed Curnow springs to mind).
I saw a stat from the Hun that said Tigres scored 14 goals from turnovers!!
Finals, then 4 in a row!
