Personally, i don't think Pittonet was anywhere near ready. Vossy basically ruled him out on Thursday.
But, he was picked. I thought for sure a late out.
But, he played. He was not quite ready though.
A bit rusty early on, and a few shocking 50-50 ruck frees paid against him early didn't help, but he did what he always did and battled his butt off. I guess because we've got the bye coming up we could afford to 'risk it' a little bit.
Thankfully it came off.
Witts is up there with the hardest rucks to play against given his size and strength and we nullified him pretty well.
Forget about hitouts, hitouts to advantage was 13 (Witts) vs 12 to us (6+6 for our 2 rucks).
