Hipwood going down definitely helped us but the midfield dominance and team defence meant we would have won regardless. Great performance

It appears that if your rucks dominate and your inside mids get on board with that and do a bit of hard running both ways, then your backline has a chance to build a rolling wall that repells just about all attacks.

The midfield battle will be crucial to stop quantity and quality of entries

Bahahahaa. Yes it was, but a better team? Not on last nights showing.
Some people only have to open their mouths to put a big fat foot in it.

Losing there FF in the first quarter didn’t help either.
