Our 9 forwards made 56 carries in total.
Cats made nearly 50% more carries than we did, so there was a crazy amount of defending to do.
had chance to watch the game now and yes we did lot of defending.Its the first game i have ever seen where a team never had a set in the opposition 20 in the whole of a second half,in fact we never got anywhere near their 20.
Was interested to see what Bowden did which wasnt much but did notice that Houghton always seemed to go in the opposite direction to Bowden which meant Taylor when on the field did a lot more work than Bowden.Whether that was planned i dont know.
Didnt understand the coach having McNamara,Walker and Scott defending the left edge when maybe Tuimavave at left centre would have shored up that side a bit more defensively.
Houghton taken a lot of stick on here recently but was by far our MOM .
I also think McNamara is better suited as a future nine rather than half back.
