Hopgood and Moretti and smith were incredible so those 3 in any order then walker moses and fox the the rest all contributed really well across the park in different ways. We have to keep in mind cows have a lot of yep and former rep players and had high completions, bloody impressive win even if we took the harder route as we usually do...
Sorry I was referring to cows having the high completions, a team with deardon drinky Nanai JT Robson and Hess at almost career best form, with high completions, incredible win
You did nothing wrong mate. I am agreeing with your comment. Just adding that cowboys have not completed so well in a long time. They came to play. Their poor completion rate and errors has been a big reason in their losses. Not having Derby today really helped them for that lol. Bloke guaranteed to drop 3 bombs and handing errors a game
I am actually the blind person. I somehow missed that you mentioned the completion rate in your first comment lol. My bad
3. Luca Moretti: hasn't he absolutely smashed it this year. He's turning into a fast and tough as nails prop that plays some great footy. Moretti, Williams, and Tuivaiti will be a quality front row rotation.
2. Ryley Smith: This kid is a gun. Best hooker we've had in years, I rate him better than Mahoney already. His passing and defence is supurb and he doesn't stop all game. He's fast becoming a cult hero with the fans.
1. JAC: A standout performance on Indigenous Day with two slick tries and that chase down to stop the Cowboys intercept (both him and Ryley!). Let's not talk about that last play of his though.
Moses was close but, a try assist, field goal, couple of line breaks and a threat every time he had the ball in his hands. Lucky the video ref called obstruction in that last play, I'm really not a fan of diving.
3—Middles facing the Hess-Lolo Locomotive: Smith, the tireless Energizer Bunny (top tackler 46, was everywhere), MorettiTheItalian Bulldozer, Hard YakkaHopgood (45 tackles second highest, 16 hit-ups the highest, 100% tackle efficiency, most run metres of forwards along with Walker)
2—Brains Trust: Moses/Walker (game management, steadying the ship, Walker second most metres in pack, Ryles brought him back on for short second stint to help close the game)
1-Back Three: LomaxThe UFC Wrestling Tank is like another prop with wheels and giant mitts, tried hard without reward (second highest run metre, almost 150m, 22 runs most in the team, more than any of our forwards, 3 offloads), TheFox (put in all night, a double), Little PapThe Little Goer (almost 200m, 1 try assist, 1 line break assist, 3 tackle busts, made a mistake but was under pressure all night)
Special mention: Hawkins improvement award, running more directly (3 tackle busts, 1 try assist, 1 line break assist, had slightly more ball than Moses and passed it almost double, but did miss 6 tackles).
For the Cows, I thought Clifford, their bookends Lolo-Hess (350m total) were outstanding. Drinky tried hard all night too. Cows put in. Best they've been in a while.

Geeze, I knew he had a good defensive game but didn't think it was that impressive. Great numbers to pump out after a couple of sub par weeks.

strap ourselves in for another one next week 😂
Cowboys also had an extremely high completion rate which is not how they have been playing

I think you nailed it Eli.

3 - Moretti, bent the line with his leg speed and ran good angles
2 - Smith, line speed enthusiast, crisp passing and started to run a bit more
1 - JAC, made the most of his opportunities with so much attack directed to the other wing
Credit to Doorey for improving like he has, Walker for his zest when coming on and Hopgood for cleaning up the middle.
