Congratulations boys on our second fantastic win. Once again from the first bounce we won the centre breaks and the commitment, dedication and team effort was fantastic. We slowed a bit in the 2nd quarter but we came back well after a strong quarter time address. Everyone on the day committed 100%, our handball and running game was great to watch. Overall a committed team effort to come away with the 4 points.

Most consistent players:

Brock Ward played a great running game with good use of handball and was commitment to the ball and also scored well. Monroe Masa was strong at the ball and had a fantastic game beating his opponent convincingly. Will Atkinson played a valuable role on the ball and in the forward line. Cameron Quenby was strong and convincing all day in attack with some fantastic passages of play. Isaac Dowse and Luca DiGiulio won the centre breaks over the 4 quarters for us with strength.

Encouragement / improved efforts:

Piers Edgar-Warburton played a valuable role in protecting our players with some good shepherding. Harry Keady again scored well in the forward line. Ty Langley played a good game as Captain on the day. Steffan Remvik showed good use of marking and handball in the clinches. Daniel Wee again accountable and showed good signs of his improving ball skills. Daniel Morey when moved to the forward line played a good game. Ben Marsh another good game and is cementing his position as a strong full back with some good defense and clearances. Jordan Turner took some great marks in the forward line and is working hard.

Final Word:

Boys this was another fantastic performance by the team. We had 100% commitment to the ball; we were strong when we approached contests. We showed discipline and skills to use the handball and get our running game going. We backed each other and our short passing was pleasing to see all hitting their targets and not kicking and hoping. We need to keep this tempo up for the rest of the season and especially next week at home against West Coast White. We have a home ground advantage so we need to play and train well this week.

Well done everyone on a strong win.
