Review of whatever you call what we just watched R18 2025
https://discourse.bomberblitz.com/t/review-of-whatever-you-call-what-we-just-watched-r18-2025/35103

Driving home listening to SEN, the Bumblings fans weren't coping at all  ;D

As for the game, it was shocking but a positive is we won. Could have just turned up our toes but we didn't this week

Biggest postive was seeing Hotton, got a gem in that lad.

Thought Faull was very good. Reckon that goal in the last will give him some confidence. Actually not surprised he kicked it, zero pressure on him as he's been missing sitters,  so no one would given him a chance

Shout out to Tylar Young, I've been highly critical but thought he was good. Once he found his feet and got up with the tempo of the game he was very solid along with Miller

Disappointing game from Mansell, backed to his bad habit of going MIA. So frustrating.

But the most disappointing for me was Sims. He was basically non competitive in the ruck against Goldstein. Refused to chase and a few times didn't even bother contesting.

I am no fan of the "forgotten man" Kosi but at least he competed, granted more often than not he was badly beaten. But i didnt think for a second he wasn't trying, competing. Sadly can't say the same about young Tom.

That game was an abomination but I guess there were some positives.

The backline really stood up . Miller is now our best key defender and anyone who thinks otherwise doesnt watch any Richmond games .
Young was great and can play at the level .

Hotton gave a glimpse of what he’s going to be .

Im so pleased for Jonty Faull that he kicked that clutch goal . I think he’s going to be a serious player- just neeeds time .
