Congratulations young men.
As for Blacres.....he's our new cult hero. Mr Clutch ??
I think a few people on this and other fora owe Motlop an apology. After being rightfully dropped mid-way through the year he has been pivotal, I think, to the turnaround.
Don’t know who has been coaching/mentoring him but his forward craft and Eddie-like pressure has improved through the roof. Yes, he made some blunders in the last q last week but it’s not easy to come on as sub late and slot into the pace of the game (which just goes to amplify Ollie’s maturity and composure). He got caught twice holding the ball against the Swannies but they (Sydney) are a phenomenal tackling side thanks to their access to rugby specialists.
