Fogarty's tackle on Mihocek (?) was first class.
Weitering was superb all night.
There was hardly a poor player on the field tonight.
Sadly, Marchbank made some horrible errors and whilst some will say he has been out of the game for a long time, you may not have your "touch" first up but you don't lose your experience & knowledge. His papers must be stamped now !!!
I reckon Nick Daicos will wake up in the morning very sore after tonight, he got grappled & double-teamed all night and was nothing near the contributor he has been this year - good coaching & well drilled from the players.
Yes and don't forget Motlop. A couple of hard as nails tackles on much bigger opponents, and they stuck. Pressure, Presser and then some.
On Marchbank, a coupe of horrible mistakes. Can you imagine what could be going through his mind after everything that he has gone through over the last few years. Confidence and continuity will make a world of difference.
