Payne definitely had Tade covered for pace at the back. Not really sure why Parker-Price is in the starting line-up to be honest. Didn't seem ready for the rigours/physicality of the game. Meanwhile TAHW on the bench as well as Peverley. Out of curiousity, what is the story with Burfoot since he re-signed? Has he played?
Agree, it was a good day out anyway and definitely quite tight throughout. Glad for McCowatt's winning goal. Deserved it for a good all round performance. Auckland ground out a workmanlike win with professional type performances from White/Bilen/Berlanga/Howieson.
Don't really remember any Suburbs threat beyond set pieces or some crosses from open play.
