I thought the Voss presser was impressive, especially the discussion around holding Cincotta on Butters.

The media always bang on about should you do this move or do that move, rarely considering the costs of getting it wrong, but the presser showed Voss is in good form at the moment because he wasn't simplistically reactive, we took the win on Butters and didn't burn it trying to stop JHF.

Having said that I didn't think it was a great game for either coach, they sort of went in with a plan and stuck to it, almost like heavyweights gauging the opposition in the 1st Round. I suspect that's a sign they expect to meet at the pointy end of the season, neither have given too much away.

I don't think the change in interpretation of the holding the ball had a great impact on the game. We knew what to expect and there were no real surprises with the decisions. Cripps,
Charlie and Walsh played  pretty much in their normal fashion. A couple of times they were pinged for the same things they got away with last week, but we knew that was coming.

Probably the best lesson to come out of the game was to continue to keep playing in the normal  manner, rather than shutting up shop half way through the last quarter.
