So, what's the difference?

[Guest]

Great first half there, much better than anything we've seen from Easts this season. So what is the difference tonight?

JWH playing the full 40min?
Pearce playing with confidence?
Maubs as a second rower?
Ant Mitchell the hooker?
the oppostion not turning up?


Have we got lucky or have we made the necessary changes?

[Guest]

Ant has been fantastic, great spark and enthusiasm. Passes have been sticking (for the most part) and Mini is hitting holes and looking dangerous. We scored early and got confidence from it.

Brian Smith has FINALLY listened

we are actually playing with structure and second man plays in attack. are we not??

Anthony Mitchell's long passes have allowed us to play and attack with width and speed. Something we lost a little as soon as Friend came on....

[Guest]

we know this is what they are capable of...if we only see it once a blue moon its the coches fault.

[Guest]

Definitely Anthony Mitchell's service out of dummy half. He was excellent that first thirty minutes and when Jake Friend came on you can see the difference in service.

Brian Smith really needs to stick with Anthony start and Friend off the bench.

Besides that the Warriors have been awful tonight.

Mitchell's service has been lightning, Friendy came on and we suddenly looked slow

I love Friendy but Mitchell's a must to be in the team each week.

After 16 years has Mini just learnt how to pass a ball properly in a week or something? cause he's been pretty damn good in the first half linking up with Maubs, SKD and Perrett.

Agree, doing well.

Just as a matter of interest, to whom has Brian Smith finally listened?

[Guest]

The Warriors being farking shit is the difference. Mitchell, Minichiello, JWH and Takairangi have been very good as well.

well a lot of us on this forum have been suggesting he instil more structure for a while now

maybe Elliot is having more input?

[Guest]

Correct.

That's the difference between the first halves of this week and last week.

is Smith not hooking Friend for Mitchell just to piss me off? ffs, he is the worst attacking hooker in the game

im thinking that too.... why does he only view Mitchell as a 30 minute player

he can play much longer than that

this forum. Smithy and Elliot spend their days reading our opinions

[Arties Pie]

Anasta still sucked, i cant see Morts doing a worse job than he.
