Tambling didn't play at all this week due to his hammy.

Jordie wasn't mentioned in WP's bests during the game so I'm not sure.

I read elsewhere that Cogs had 40 touches.
hem must have absolutely dominated to get those numbers. Is that correct?

A detailed match report on Y&B. Cogs wasn't in R8's best though.

Ta cyclops. If indeed he did get 40 possessions perhaps he should have been..

My greatest concern with Cogs comeback is exactly what R8 pointed out - his pace. No matter how good he is at ground level and in the packs, if he can not run with or away from his direct opponent he will become a liability.

Great to hear Thomson, Post and Patto played well. I expect we will see Thomson in the side very soon.

Bartel & Mitchell aren't much quicker.
Cogs is as hard as nails and knows how to find it in a pack where pace matters little.

tambling didn't play

McMahon played that's about it really  ;D Didn't do much

Best game I've seen JON play, his tackleing and 2nd & 3rd efforts were fantastic

How did Browne go WP and do you know if Cogs played a full game? Last week Rawlings said he played 60% gametime.

With mid-field rotations he isn't going to play 100% of the game but I'd say he played around the 75-80% mark this week. I thought  he got better as the game went on. His hands are great and his kicking seems to have more penetration these days... I thought he was better last week than today but he is moving very well compared to where he was at the end of last season

Browne & Patto rotated in the ruck. I liked Browne's game as he taps to advantage well, rather than just straight down at everyone's feet. Probably a better way to put it is he works hard at getting it to advantage rather than taking the easier option of hitting it straight down. He is clearly a very good thinker and reader of the game in that he instinctively drops back in the whole in the back half and he does it quickly. He didn't get alot of it around the ground but I couldn't fault his 2nd or 3rd efforts (clearly a message has got through at richmond). I think he is a long term player for us

Interesting comments about JON.

I honestly believe it was the best game I've seen JON play.

I reckon his disposal effeiciency was high. Did he turn the ball over? Yeah he did. Did he drop his head when he did? No he didn't and to me that was a key to his game today - 2nd & 3rd efforts. He actually kicked it into the man twice and both times he back up with a 2nd effort and in once case won the ball back and gave of a really slick h/ball to advantage that resulted in a goal and the other time he tackled well enough to ensure a ball up. he played as a lead up forward across HF and did it well. The delivery at times to him was terrible (suggest he has a coffee with Richo during the week to discuss how one cipes with it  ;D). He giving it off more by hand to today and he did it really well.

Hughes was the interesting one. When Cleve is "switched on" then he does everything well including the defensive stuff, when he isn't he just looks disinterested....

Good reports WP, thanks mate. I don't really ever think that Hughes will make now and thats a shame, I thought he would turn into a really good forward but it hasn't happened.
