But why do we always have fkn tackle bots for hookers, most of these teams have some creative spark and can run the ball from dummy but we never seem to have had that sort of player

But let’s be honest, it was four months ago. If you’re still suffering travel jet lag, you’re doing something wrong

Not so much jet lag, I think Madge just put far too much emphasis on it during our shortened preseason, instead of adjusting to the changes in the NRL. Also may have played a role in the ridiculous amounts of injuries we have injured this year.

Thats my point though, we dont produce the type of players i'm talking about though. I honestly dont think we look beyond developing superstars. Our fans as well dont ever seem happy if we produce a player who just turns up every week with little fanfare. I dont see us producing players like Connor Tracey, Nick Meaney or JMK for example. We seem to not want solid performers for some reason.

Case in point, the current bottom of the table Dragons, who finished 16th, 11th and 15th most recently have amassed an incredible young pack that make bulk metres and generate fast PTB week in week out. Unfortunately they have not had the backs or halves to take advantage of it.

Compare that to what our pack is currently, and sure, Haas is the best forward in the game but as a balanced pack at its entirety, theirs shit all over us today.

Would love to see us get to that sort of pack soon. Imagine what a couple good halves and an elite 9 could do behind that Dragons young pack..

It's not the jet lag it's the inability to have a full preseason.

Preseason is continually identified by players, ex players, pundits, etc. as vitally important to set up your season.

If you have a shit preseason you can't build the baseload fitness during the season.

We were also pretty shit in defence last year (finished 7th in points against)... having a full preseason would've been nice to actually work on it, but they've probably had to go into this season largely the same.

Watching the panthers now, there are so many workers week in week out, nothing flashy and just hard work. We have none

They just play with continual unrelenting energy and intensity for 80mins on both sides of the ball... it's hard for teams to keep up with them for the full 80 and outlast them.

Reckon both Mozer & Bukoski are playing cup at least one of them would be ready to replace Paix. We’re absolutely fcuked in the hooking area. Paix is not the solution.

If Paix ain't it, those two certainly aren't it either.

They don’t have to be it, they just have to be better. And if they can pass accurately off the ground and have a run or two, they’re better.

We have seen them in the team. They're not better right?

Mozer maybe, but he needs to stay on the field.
 
No excuse for a flat performance like that, five minutes in I started counting guys with their hands on their hips and Brisbane had 11. The body language throughout the game was poor.

They had a more relaxed week, with guys in camp and staff missing and they didn't handle it at all.

Got completely outtried by the Dragons.

I haven’t seen enough but I also can’t say Paix is better than them either.
