Hey yourhero…..thanks for taking the time to analyse and post all of those specific game situations of Nick and Reimis in comparison to May and Tago. It was a good read.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time
If anyone really wants to see how much can happen off the back of MacDonald, go back and watch the Parramatta game at home last year. 3 tries came within 1 or 2 tackles of him finding his front and playing the ball fast. He's just amazing.

I think something which has also been understated in this performance was the post contact metres.
Didn’t do too well in that category last year but to have 646 metres (which was the most over the weekend) and considering the strength of opposition with all that defence which had to be done - that’s pretty outstanding.

This is an incredible stat, most pleasing.riders of the storm wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 9:59 am I think something which has also been understated in this performance was the post contact metres.

What still annoys me greatly, and that we're still doing it, is fella's being left behind the play the ball and not attempting to get back on side.
Something that is really worth practising is a 4th tackle kick in behind the line to the wingers. I don't know of Hughes or Pezet have it but they dead set need it. Opposition wingers are up every time knowing we don't do it, a kick through puts them in two minds and opens up our attacking options.
Superb all round effort on Friday night and the voice has finally come back!
