Probably no coincidence since Rance hasn't been there that that area of his game is down. Good to see Dave sign on for 2 more.
Thought Dave was huge yesterday. Played a mighty game.
Actually just about our whole backline was fantastic.
Broad, Houli, Vlastuin & Grimes worked so well as a unit.
Rance may or may not get back but right now they're doing a fine job in his absence & have developed strongly as a group to cover.

Its not just Astbury its big V and Broad
They need to interpret his lead towards the ball.
They dont need to block, but they can jump into him at every opportunity.
Scilly proved how *smile* he is at reading the flight of the ball.
We need to stop the bubble kick into forward 50.
That's what he fed off in the preliminary final. Soft high kicks into 30-35 meters of the goal.
Agreed Oldie, DTLD was big yesterday showed his true worth, we cannot replace him.
Our Defence has been pretty good all year they've scrambled and scrapped and fought well all things considered, even in those games where the midfield didn't turn up and we got flogged.
Let’s see how he goes against Dixon.
Dave is a bit of a plodder but he has been good the last couple and is our only genuine key back at the moment.
Dixon is a soft arse who pays for free kicks hes another Ben Brown or Lurch Cox, but unlike them puts on a fake tough guy act.
big dave prob played a lot early on 'sore', a couple of weeks off then the bye, he's come back looking a million bucks.
And we should have him on a strict diet of tinned-food only from round 22 onwards. Out with gastro is BS.
Interesting, I don't see him as a plastic tough guy. That's more the likes of Tex for me. Dixon likes to hurt. He's been pretty stiff with injuries, when he is fit he's a very important player IMO.
The contract extension seems to have revitalised Dave with another fine performance. Coming into his own along with Grimes, Vlastuin and Broad in defence and Rance is now barely missed
Dave seems to be revitalised after the contract extension. A very good game today both I defence and running the ball out. He, Grimes, Vlastuin and Broad have made a strong reliable back four where, right now, Rance is barely missed
