We held our own for a half and then outclassed as you'd expect given our respective positions. I agree with many that our backs were OK. Weiters might need a rest. Docherty, Simmo, 2e were solid against a tough outfit. Plowman is developing well.
When our mids aren't given great service (although effort looks high and I think Phillips athleticism will serve him as he develops), and their efficiency subsequently lags, and so it goes on to the "forwards". We really will struggle to score. Levi worked his butt off and did all that could be expected from his class. Dre, Thomas (injured), and Walker looked underdone, as did Lamb at times.
Cripps, Curnow, and Gibbs were solid. Will be better with some hardened speed added to the mix per SOS ingenuity.
Jack and Sumner gave good effort. Looking forward to both in coming years.
Loved watching young Jack slot his first. Army was at his best again, his celebrations are so much fun. Hopefully this inspires the young guys.
In all, this is keeping it real for a club in rebuild mode.
I too am looking forward to seeing some forward structure, which will take time. Hopefully the remaining rounds will see others given a chance, and some game time together for the draftees and guns.
Go Blues.
