ON THE PERFORMANCE
"What am I most pleased with? Two points, no doubt," O'Brien said.
"We needed to win, I know that is stating the obvious.
"I think it will get better (our combinations).
"The more time we spend with each other, and I though they (the spine) played a big part in the second half, especially when we were in the field position battle.
"I thought Mitchell (Pearce) and those guys got us a lot more direct in the second half.
"There was some stuff we done really well and some stuff we done poorly, but at the end of the day we fought hard in the second half to get a result."

CONNOR'S 100TH AND ROAD AHEAD
"We spoke about not stopping this week because Connor never stops," O'Brien said.
"He's flat out all of the time and we wanted to honour his occasion tonight by keeping our feet moving and I thought we did that in the end.
"Everyone is fighting to get into the back half of the eight.
"It is tough and it's disrespectful to think teams can't turn up and give you their best.
"We just have to really narrow our focus and stay on task."
