The lack of variety in our attack second was shocking. We made it easy for them.
Exactly the type of game where TP would have made a massive difference.
Guessing it was tactical: with them down to 10, and likely to sit deep, bringing on a more tricky attacker did make sense. Although I'd have preferred taking off a CB.
Agreed though: I thought he was excellent. Really encouraging debut. Looks very good indeed.
Apart from the horrendous Macca moment, that was very, very encouraging.
Clearly a need for a little more creativity, but still a very good and encouraging half.
Now the question is...... can we get something from the game?
RM went with a more pragmatic approach, just like this, in the playoffs. We defended really well.
Fully expect this lineup. Maybe we can spring an opening day surprise.
