Really have to step up next week that display Tonight just wasnt good enough.We got the bonus point win, but most of the match was under par considering the level of opposition.

If you didn’t like those tactics you’re really not going to enjoy next week.
That was a great win, solid and dominant for most of the game. That team with the addition of McInally, Gilchrist, Ritchie, will be a good looking side next week.

There were several times last night where Duhan and Darcy had a lot of space and a couple of passes would have put them in but we chose to batter the line. I thought Pyrgos was poor. On the plus side Hickey looked sharp when he came on and the forwards stood up well. It was interesting that Hunter Hill was calling the lineouts when he came on, although after the mixup Ford looked to be having more of a say.
Hopefully Mata is ok, he lookedtohe limping badly when he went off. Scott was ok, certainly looked a big unit but ni real chance to show much else.
