What We Learnt Yesterday

The match against our old rivals was truly a match worthy of being televised. Despite all our off field distractions Ch 9 continues to televise us because of the quality of Football we play. However, in saying that, the last few matches has proved to me that we need a slight change of mindset regarding our roster next year. Ignoring our missing personnel we have been basically ineffective in the second half, having long periods of making endless tackles and having little impact in making ground. Yet again yesterday we were stuck in our half for most of the second half unable to get out. It proves to me that we need bigger, hard headed forwards, to bend the line and dominate the opposition. The addition of Vave(?) is a step in the right direction but we need at least another similar forward. With Foran gone we were all wondering who we could get to partner Norman (hopefully still with us next year). Yesterday proved that perhaps we already have him. Gutherson again proved what a quality player we have in him. From starting off shakily in the first few matches as a winger he has played fullback, centre and 5/8th slotting into those positions smoothly and playing a high quality game. Yesterday it looked like he had found his natural position, putting on a highly polished performance belying his very limited time ever playing in that position. Yesterday also proved that Scott is NOT a centre anymore. Overall his performance yesterday ...
