    Looks alert but not alarmed does Will. Certainly a change from Rocket.
    First game honeymoon period. Wait till a few losses start coming, then we'll see.

      Reflected his game of late.
      Are you serious? The wrong time to try it? What was so critical about the timing?
      I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

          Seconds to go in the quarter, must of know. Play it safe. Already 10 goals up. The Port goal lifted their spirits.

            So shouldn't the onus be on the senior player (Murphy) to instruct his younger team-mate to kick long rather than to call for the handball and then stop?

              10 goals up against the poorest side in the comp and you want us to play it safe?

                With seconds to go in the quarter yes. There was more chance of them scoring from turnover than us manufacturing another goal.

                  Maybe. Would have thought more onus being on the player with the ball in his hands. As mentioned already he needed to take responsibility.

                          We didn't get to play a side that would lose to a U16 WRFL team for the majority of the year.

                                I heard Williams on SEN this morning. He was asked the question whether the game plan was different. He said the only difference was the all players had to run back an extra 30 to 40 yards to help out. Said he was very happy with the first 3 quarters but players had tired in the last as they were not used to it.
