Quote ="MadDogg"Commitment and defensive intensity absolutely outstanding. Awful mistake from Ellis - just unacceptable. But maybe it gave us the kick up the backside that we needed. Havard and Smithies were awesome, O'Neill and Shorrocks had a real dig and Harvie Hill was impressive in his short stint. Great to have a crack at another final.
However (and I appreciate its not really the time to be negative) I was worried about our attacking set up. French at 6 looks all wrong to me - he looks lost. At times we actually look worse than how we looked with Shorrocks at 6. French at fullback was the one thing that was working really well and was not the change we needed to make. Maybe it will improve in time and clearly a lot of energy was lost in our defensive effort today but its a concern to me that it looks like we'll be going with this set up moving forward.'"
It's strange that at the end of last season French was unstoppable and saw his best run if form, yet he was wasted? Him and Field combined so well, I just don't get the wasted comments...
It'd be tough on Miski, but French back on the wing and maybe Hampshire in the halves?
