What a performance. We're definitely improving and only going to get better with the players we have to come back (Peltier, Lilley, Keyes/Chisholm)
I thought our forwards were superb and all deserve a breather next week.
Farrell, Minchella and Storton all turned their blood to water. They just couldn't put Storton down. All 4 props ran with real intent. Evans was a class above. Him and Gibsons try saver at 20-12 was the game breaker for me. Shout out to Rowan Milnes who created both our opening tries with a lovely pass and kick. Our breakaway tries weren't luck, they were from excellent defensive work which forced Leigh to panic.
Discipline also a big factor. The ref was frustrating with too many technical penalties where it should have been play on and too many given from players diving. I thought it would cost us as we were getting pens on the zero and first tackle, and we seemed to concede them on the 4th/5th in the first half. But when we were given a glut of baffling penalties against us in the first half, we seemed to crack on, whereas Leigh seemed to lose their rag hence the 2 sin-binnings.
Webster is so key, really is standing up to the opposition and giving plenty to them in those "heated moments" he gives us that backbone that we've lacked for a good number of years.
Lastly well done Kear. I was frustrated early in the season with our poor attack but we definitely seem much more fluid now, and that's with our first 3 HBs out.
A young squad with plenty of HG players that's improving. Happy Bulls fan tonight.
