One word - behind. We have come from behind to win both games. Trials sure, but good to see a change in attitude and commitment.
Credit where it’s due, AD played well tonight. Jock was handy as well, but I think AD outpointed him with some his kicks and runs.
Ive been a critic of AD and I will give credit where its due. AD did play well. he kicked well, he ran well and he defended well. He still has a very poor passing game. He killed one overlap and a lot of his passes were either too low or too far back causing a player to have to pause or reach back, halting momentum.
In contrast Maddens passing is almost elite. The way Madden passes so far out in front is so clinical and consistent and his outside backs are receiving the ball at speed at the line forcing the defence to make decisions. The way he positions his backs give the option of hitting the line at a hole or playing out the back and the defence has to commit because of the pass.
If I was Benji genuinely dont know which way I'd go. I also think Latu is the long term best option at 7. Id probably pick Madden at 7. to give credit to my mate Garry who said this to me.....imagine Luai running onto those out front passes from Madden.
