| 0-22 at Half Time, Fev making the most of a few Donny mistakes to score pretty close in to the sticks for all of them. We should have at least 1 try back, but a strange decision to kick through on the 1st just before half time saw our best chance wasted.

| Final score Dons 6 Fev 32
I was quite heartened by our second half performance.
I thought we looked like we could get nilled and Fev get 60....but no.
A lovely break by Weeden to applaud as well as a try by fatty Cook.
A meaningless game as far as the Dons were concerned.
Unimportant.

Yes I forgot his fine break.
My lad wondered if he might be better.................at full back.
We have a knack of finding great full backs....this lad might be the next.
Just a thought.

| Think this needs merging with the half time thread.
There's never a mod around when you need one.

| I also wondered before the game if Tony might try Coady at full back. He hasnt got many games of RL under his belt yet , so might be a bit unfair to play him at No1.
thought we stuck to our task but we gave them too much respect in the 1st half.

| My missus thinks that in the second half they must have felt under pressure a little, otherwise why leave Harris on all game.

| In the firtst half Fev were a lot sharper, cohesive and most of all fast around the play the ball which saw us spending too long on the back foot. And while we were marking up well for long periods it created moments where players were left unmarked, and a lot of the tries came from those starting positions.
When we were getting out the line and hitting them earlier it was stopping them doing it as much.
In the second half we did this more to slow down their momentum and give ourselves more chance to go forward although we still didn;t see as much of that smooth preseason passing. The periods of Briggsy's quietness showed
Thought Coady was good value for the Man of the Match but would not be sure about fullback yet...there were a couple of times when he was caught still with union wingers positions/thoughts (ie didn't fight hard enough to keep the ball from going out when we would be losing possesion). But what Scott has over him in terms of positional awareness Da Vinci maybe makes up for in size and speed (and it would also be good to see him hitting a broken field and choosing his runs...again something he would need to learn the subtleties of League to do effectively). So the jury is out...could be worth a test in the remaining group games though.
