Better Loosen Up

Some people seem to have no clue how valuable it is to have an elite interceptor in defence. It's not like they grow on trees. They don't just spoil the ball with the potential that the opposition still scores. They completely stop 8-10 attacks a game and then launch the other way.
You just don't play them on guys who are 12kg heavier like Sam Day. Either way, pretty sure the commentators said Comben hadn't had many kicked on him since the bye.
What i liked about Comben getting beaten in those contests in the 1st qtr is that he was absolutely filthy with himself! Just the sort of character I like to see in a key backman. He will learn from these experiences, no doubt!
