Absolutely. It seems like they've moved in the right direction... they went through that long period of relying on set-piece, and now they've retained good set-piece but they're also one of the better attacking sides out there. Actually, having said that, ALL of the Australian teams seem to have come along with their attack. I love it :)

Like Larkham is building on what McKellar put in place.

Congratulations to the Blues and their fans. They will be there at the pointy end I expect.

Cotter seems to have added to the work of McDonald, to me. Like Kiss seems to be doing re Thorn and Qld. Would hope that would be the norm but actually seems to be the rarity.

Fantastic example of never giving up on chasing down a potential try-scorer. Great work Moana!
