    The threat Will Jordan offers is almost night and day to Fergus Burke - drawing defenders and opening gaps.

    Great idea and execution to skip hungus ennor

    I don't have him so much as a hungus, as someone who seems to go to ground much too easily when he does have a go.

    Depends how you define it. He's never going to make it so pass

    I think the only thing we'll learn from this fixture is Cron made an error taking the Force coaching role.

    Don't see the point of continuing to play well past the 80th minute when you are so far ahead. Only risk getting injured. Kick the ball out and take the win.

    Confidence-building?

    @nostrildamus Having some fun.

    But, I agree with Akaan it's not strictly professional if you lose someone to serious injury.

    @KiwiMurph Not having a poke at you specifically on the line-kicking.

    It's an eye-opening point I've heard Razor make a couple of times in interviews, so we'd better get used to the philosophy.

    That's fine but you also see it regularly when it's not red zone related (i.e. around midfield).

    @KiwiMurph There's probably some criticism that's valid and some not.

    It's Moneyball stuff - but, people need to be aware of what they're criticizing.

    Good win and great to get Will Jordan back on deck. We have a reasonably good run home with not a lot of travel. A few players coming back has helped. What is the story on George Bell and Fletcher Newell, are they likely to be back?

    @SBW1 did the reviewer watch the match? Grace was not that good. Thought Moody very good. Did not see Brewis at all. Don't know how he got his rating. Did Mounga really only miss two kicks? Who took the others? Perhaps I missed stuff too.

    I thought Grace did his job. What did he do wrong?
