Things are really going well for Northern Blues.
[1] After playing probably his best game for the Blues, Wilkinson retired and has gone to punt in the NFL. Considering how much talent there is on the Preston side of things, that has to hurt. Wilko was one of the 2 Vice Captains.
[2] Little Box Bransgrove, the Blue Captain damaged a hamstring against Casey and will struggle to play many games this season.
[3] 4 of the 6 named best players for the Blues were Preston boys, including one (Roberts) playing his first game. That does not bode well.
[4] We lose Ciaran Byrne to hamstring injury. That probably does his season, as he has struggled to get over hamstring issues all year.
[5] How ineffective can we be with the ball?

34 % efficiency?



[6] Foster had 7 possessions in the 1t quarter and 8 for the whole game.
[7] Roberts was named our 2nd best player with 4 possessions.
