The Kangabies are a much better side than many give them credit for. And we had to put our pressure rating through the roof (3rd qtr) to get over them and even then, they wouldn't go away. In the final qtr, to keep our lead was a bloody good effort considering the revolving door of injured blokes coming on and off the ground.
Failed experiments: Dropping Hewett :
Cincotta on Zuhaar (why the fck would you sacrifice someone so quick over the grass to the last line of defence :) ...and probably dropping Kemp.
Good to see: Cottrell regaining touch, Cerra finally stepping up later in the game, Motlop back, Charles kicking well for goal, H's ruck work and work up the ground.
Don't get: Weiters criticism, Tall Durds criticism.
Bottom line: There's a fleas chin (cleaned that up) between 2nd and 7th on the ladder. With the exception of the Weagles, any and every other side outside the 8 is capable of knocking off a top 8 side.
We are very much, still, a work in progress.
Expect: Pitto in this week, along with Kemp and perhaps Binns. Outs: Injured blokes.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
