Post subject:  The Game Saving Move that Nearly Got Us Over The Line

Critical move at 1/4 time. Whitnall to CHB and Kouta to the stoppages. Whits stiffened the HB line and was able to provide a contest in the packs and forced Port to go either over or around him. This allowed us to get numbers to the fall of the ball. Kouta of course added presence to the stoppages again allowing numbers to the fall of the ball.

Whitnall probably won't get a lot of recognition because he had few touches himself, but he really did make Tredrea have to work a lot harder for his possessions.

Would have been a different result if Kouta had been around the ball all night. That said, it wasn't a moronic idea to start him on Tredrea.

Good call BM.

Kouta was getting humiliated by Tredrea, sadly enough, and we were missing his poise in the middle.

I thought Karl did a much better job this week and largely kept that bitch Thurstans out of the way.

Would I be wrong thinking it would have been nice to have both Kouta and Scotland on the ball tonight? :? :?

I disagree, Kouta was never going to be able to curb Tredrea. Having said that I don't think Lance was the right man either. Karl should have been given the chance.

Give so that Karl may grow

There were some game losing moves:

Kouta at CHB
Kouta doing ruck work in the backline costs us 2 goals

Not bagging Kouta but I thought the coaches might have a little idea that he is quite good at clearances.

I am. I'm very happy; as I've said elsewhere if someone had offered us a draw against Port I would've taken it :D
