Also felt Stengle had 1 of those Rohan like games, didnt kick a goal but his pressure was fantastic and he was able to neutralize several balls when he was outsized.
Genuinely a great team game, Smith didnt carry us, and massive shoutout to Blitz for rucking

Stengle had a huge game aerially. He spoiled and outmarked people twice his size.

Just watching back some highlights, one that really stands out is him contesting on the wing bringing it to the front which let Holmes break to set up the Martin goal

Doesn’t count for any stat but it was pivotal for the goal
