One of those games where almost every player deserves a vote, the exception being Kikau, who had a few brain snaps during his short stint on the field.
Moses, JFH and Api - Yeo was close but played way too tentative in attack for mine. He looked like he was trying to “Not stuff up” rather than playing what’s in front of him, his 2nd half was heaps better.
Thought those were the best 3 out there. TPJ was in everything and wasn’t afraid to tear in, see it kind of makes me sad he won’t be with us next season.
I’m the opposite Steve, yes he played well, but what we saw when he got into the push and shove was the real TPJ, he will cost you plenty. We already have Spencer for that, IMO Spencer could be just as damaging if his focus was on the footy and not the man.
Both of these blokes could learn from Moses and JFH, they were instrumental in the first 25 minutes, owning the brutality in the middle and setting us up for victory. If they didn’t get that bounce for the try, we were owning them, not only the points, but that breather they got from that try nullified alot of our big men’s work.
Yeah I think TPJ is a subject to environment. It’s clear he responds well to a club with good structure and culture.
Just look at the difference between him at the Broncos and then at the Panthers. I’m not sure how the Bulldogs culture will work for him. I guess time will tell.
