'You can see the aura around the guys': Vidler's glowing Boars report card

It's a winning aura - and the old warhorse saw it before when he won premierships at West Tamworth and Aberdeen.

"You can see the aura around the guys - they're switched on," Vidler said of his Moree Boars teammates. "They really, really wanna win it [the premiership]."

Chasing their first Group 4 title since 2002, the Boars have started the season with two impressive wins.

A 36-16 defeat of Dungowan was followed by a 42-16 statement slaying away to North Tamworth.

"They're full of confidence," Vidler said of his teammates ahead of hosting Gunnedah on Sunday, April 21. "Just the attitude they had before a game - talking in the sheds.

"They want a premiership. It's as simple as that."

For five seasons, Vidler tried to do that at Kootingal-Moonbi. And when it didn't happen, the evergreen 38-year-old signed with Moree for this season.

He started both games at prop, but only had his first training session with the side on Thursday night, April 18.

Vidler said: "The first game, I was a bit nervous and felt a bit out of place [he still received one best and fairest point]."

"But the second game against Norths, I felt really comfortable. And obviously the scoreboard showed that too, as a team effort."

Vidler said Moree played with a "controlled aggression". He likes that.

"And we're complimenting each other," he said, adding: "Our discipline has been unreal the first two games."
