Honorable to the forwards, who fronted up for a change. Even captain marshmallow

Force
3: JOC (James O'Connor) - needs to play at 10
2: sharpe
1: McCalman - despite losing the 8 battle to palu

3. Burgess
2. Beale
1. Mitchell

3. Sheehan
2. JOC (James O'Connor)
1. McCalman

[cyclopath]

Force
3 JOC (James O'Connor)
2 McCalman
1 Honey Badger

Tahs
3 Schmooo
2 Burgess
1 Dennis - a really good cameo I thought

Forwards good with not so many standouts, worked as a pack well. TPN and Palu looked good enough, and got through a lot of game time. Beale could have points too.

2. Mumm
1. Mitchell


3 McCalman
2 Sheehan
1 Smith

 

[Gnostic]

Tahs:-

3. Kepu
2. Douglas
1. Mitchell

This game was won up front. Honourable mentions to TPN, Palu, Robo, Mowen & Mumm for the pigs and Cross Burgess for the backs. Denis top notch sub. effort Mowen better stay on top of his game.

Force:-
3. McCalman
2. Brown
1. Sheehan

JOC (James O'Connor) is not a 15 or a wing. Play him at 10 or 12.

 

[#1 Tah]

Mighty Tahs:
3. Burgess - Genia needs to make the XV to be captain
2. Mitchell - Watch a replay of his 2nd try, TC gets kicked in the face
1. Fat Cat - Was everywhere and not down on one knee every two seconds like Taf

Force:
3. Sheehan
2. JOC (James O'Connor) - played well, even in his school shoes
1. Cummins

Interesting to see people's evaluation of the two 7s. Pat McCutcheon has been mentioned 4 times so far - although Lincoln confused him with older brother Lachlan - while Jono Jenkins hasn't got a guernsey.

According to Foxsports Fantasy Pat played for 72 minutes for 9 runs, 2 offloads, 11 tackles and 2 pilfers.

Jono played for 59 minutes for 1 run, 30 tackles and a forced turnover.

Two things stand out. 30 tackles at a rate better than one every two minutes is extraordinary. And when a side is so clearly dominant there are plenty of opportunities for runs and offloads but less need to make tackles. The converse of course applies for the side being dominated.

Bruce, 30 tackles in absolutely incredible, I noted that in the fantasy stats thread. But that's all he did. Generally it won't get noticed by spectators who made a tackle if it wasn't a dominant one. I certainty didn't notice how many tackles Jono did during the game, don't even remember seeing him much - which is a good thing.

I agree. Most spectators would say he 'went missing', like Palu 'goes missing'.
