The delivery to him made it easier for the defenders though. Plus the fact that he never gets a free kick from the umpires.
He's heaps overrated!
I'm sitting down with him in a week or so to compare premiership videos. It shall be a delightful occasion.
Gun player, gun bloke, has the team on the back at all times!
Jolly is a gun no doubt, but I thought he was beaten yesterday.
He got a gift of a free kick in the goal square at the start of the last to get PNU going, but he also hit the post a bunch of times so he could have had more.
Have to consider when looking at the goals he kicked that PNU kick it to him EVERY time they go fwd, and a gun player is always going to kick goals when you have so much delivery. Smith did a good job on him.
Does make it easy for other PNU forwards that even when Jolly doesnt mark it all the backs are thinking about him and so crumbers wind up having a heap of space.
Thought Brimacombe killed it yesterday.
