Really complete performance yesterday. I thought the first half was as dominating as we have every been, without threatening. While in the second we just steamrolled them.
One area i think we need to improve on though is our left hand side. I thought we were fairly average down that flank and were lucky that Brisbane didnt make more of it. The play between Doyle, Libby and Burnsy was much slower and easier to close down that what was happening on Fentons wing. It didnt seem like the players knew the runs that others around them would be making. Burns coming short when Doyle was looking long and vice versa. And i know there is plenty of shark to hang on burns at the moment so im sure some people will lay the blame at his feet. But when he and roy switched at the start of the second, it didnt get any better. So i think its more of them getting on the same page. It does make me worry about what Victory will do to them, unless Rudan has a plan for it (and after the last few weeks, im sure he does!)
One note on burns, much like Singh, he is most effect when running at players. for me, the few bright moments of his recent matches is when he is taking people on. I think we need to do more to setup these spaces or get him and Singh to rotate into them. Because he as a different skill set to Singh and if we can get him running at defenders, would compliment it nicely. Maybe that will happen as him and the others out that side spend more time working on it. I hope so.
As for Burns, I thought he had the best game we have seen from him since he came back.
