Pros
Good win on the road for the Blues
held the lead for the whole match baring the first 7 minutes of the first quarter
8 Point game
Great game by usual suspects Judd, Murph, Gibbs
Good to see Fev back in form
Great games by Browne and AJ
Stevens was good especially in the licking out continued to find targets outside 50 on many occasions

Cons
Final quarter but expected the Lions to come back at us
Negative posters many who thought we would loose by 40+ this week and even after our win they still think we shouldnt have won.... Hello there is another team playing against us and i rate Brisbane as a decent team expecially at Home when they still have Black, Power, Brown, and Brenan is a gun veyr impressed with his game tonite

Pros:
Been a critic of Armfield but he was very good tonight
Browne...dropped back in front of J Brown quite a lot and isn't afraid to go back with the flight.
Fev actually getting the free kicks which should have been paid week in week out.
Gibbs playing more of an inside role. Went missing in the last along with Murphy but young players will do that when the pressure lifts.
Grigg good on Black for the first 3 qtrs
Hammer in the ruck...better palmer of the ball than Kreuz at the moment and we are starting to get a few effective clearances from his hitouts.
The great man
Defence held up well with the supply in the last qtr.
Gameplan too - a few instances when we had the ball at wing/HF and there were loose players about 30 out so we switched the ball into the middle then across to the other flank and then inside 50 to where there was space.
Joseph...normally little shits like Hooper kill us but it's good to see us developing those players who will play a specific role and do it very well.
Garlett's chasing in the forward line...if you can't get a kick it doesn't mean you can't chase and apply pressure.
Stevens disposal off half back was excellent
Scotland first game back also seemed to have the composure required
Bower bird got beaten by Brennan early but I don't think there's too many defenders who can match Brennan's agility but he provided good run off half back.
STFU Walls...if you haven't noticed his improvement then you haven't been watching too closely.

Cons:
Poor in the middle during the last qtr but the experience of Black and Power showed.
Poor tackling in the last qtr...we also let them run the ball out of our forward line through the corridor and then to pump it inside 50. Still the need to be accountable.
Still not a clear marking alternative to Fev inside 50.

Pro: Was anyone else blown away by Hammers pace in the 3rd. Where he and Kruezer were 'loaping' along the wing and then all of a sudden Kreuz flicked it out to Hammer who just went BLLLLLLLASSTTTTTTTT and he was away. God he is a big fast unit.

Pros
Like all good Coaches Ratts learns from his mistakes.
Workrate and intensity far better
AJ, Army, Browney and Hammer are all stepping up.

Cons
Not happy Black got away so much in the last but Grigga is short of a gallup.
Broken tackles.

The only con is, I had the perfect opportunity to obtain Russell's autograph on my Record, and he was profiled in it, but I had given back the pen I borrowed.
