A real positive to come out of it though is that we'll find out how resilient our boys are. |
After the injuries we've had recently, it's encouraging to not only win our last start but to know we don't have any new injuries either. |
Despite losing our first two matches, the signs were there that we weren't far away from success so we were really pleased to see the improvement against the Tigers. |
George has been looking forward to this game for a long time and the style of the game probably suited him last night. |
I see him as having the ability to be one of the best hookers in the NRL. |
I still think we had enough chances to win the game but our first half let us down. |
I think there were some obstruction rules today that I think were a bit petty. |
I thought they went OK. They didn't play like superstars, but there is plenty to build on. |
I thought they went really well against the Dogs and they'll be desperate against us. |
If we can bring a decent game, control the football and defend well then it gives you a chance I suppose and limits the time he [Johns] has with the ball and hopefully limits the guys around him as well. |
If you can't win your home games you're facing a long year, really. |
It's been forced on us right from the word go that we have to improve and do that while being without familiar faces. |
It's fair to say it was probably more than a trial for us considering everything that's happened during the week. I'm not really happy with the performance to be honest but the three trials we've had so far have showed we've got a bit of character and that's important. |
It's good to get the first one out of the way, obviously not the result we were looking for but as I said a lot of individuals played well so that was promising. |
On an individual basis I thought a few guys played well. I'm really happy that we've got two more games to get our game together. |
