Coach, Michael Maguire match. Just a couple of quick ones. How impressive was that tonight?
Hey, Biggie. Mate, I'm only talking to you, mate, because you're the best. But it was a great night for the boys. Obviously, I turned around from our first one and we learned a lot out of that second half. But the first half was exactly what we spoke about. And the way the boys came together throughout the week, the leaders, obviously, we've got the style of how we want to play. Yeah, had your fingerprints all over it that first half. High completions.
plenty of opportunities, building pressure. I thought the kicking games in that first half, Moses' long kicking game and then both of the boys' short kicking game to build that pressure was phenomenal. Yeah, spot on, mate. We probably just didn't get to it in the second half. It was a sort of stop-starting game and obviously a little bit of discipline there, but it's something for us to work on.
But I thought the first half, the way we kicked and the way Mitch conducted himself around the way he played and then Romy jumping on the back of that, they just gelled really well together. And, you know, Reecey Robson, you know, he's quiet now. He probably doesn't get the raps through the middle like yourself, Biggie, but, mate, he did a good job for us as well. Madge, how do you handle a half-time break like that? 34-0. Even in your wildest dreams, you're probably thinking...
You know, can't believe that we're in that situation. What are some of the main focus points for the boys? Yeah, well, it's going back to what we did in the first half. But, you know, we're human. So, you know, that's the next step for us now as a group to be able to handle, you know, getting an opportunity like that so then we can progress that in the second half. But, you know, we'll get a lot out of that. Well done, Madge. One to go. Good on you, Piggy. Good job.
He's done. He's stayed proud, hasn't he? New South Wales coach Michael Maguire with a bloke who won a premiership with Mark Piggy-Riddell from the Wigan Warriors. They're great mates, and I know they were in contact earlier this afternoon. Thank you to Madge for his time.
