It’s hard because we are short on depth, but Piakura has to go back to the bench, you can’t keep rewarding some of his lazy efforts. There has to be some accountability for performance.
In 10min patches they have conceded 3 quick tries in succession in the last 3 games. The games were not over at all. That’s not clutching at straws, they aren’t resilient, they can’t break momentum, if they concede one, they are likely to concede a second, and then a third. None of what you have...
Absolutely no chance.
Dragons are our best bet for a win & even then I could see it being one of those games that we always manage to lose. We just have to find a way to stop the free fall. We don’t have to beat the warriors to get back on track, just find some grind.
I get the whole positivity thing, but I also think at a certain point it can start to sound delusional, and when players are looking to you for answers, the sunshine & lollipops approach isn’t going to keep their attention.
The bad habits we were getting into when winning have come back to bite us now we don’t have Walsh or reyno to pull something out the hat. The frustration & desperation has built with each loss as they try to find shortcuts to get out of it. It’s been like watching a car crash in slow motion, we...
60-70th min we conceded three unanswered tries to the titans
40-50th min we conceded three unanswered tries to the sharks
10-20th min we conceded three unanswered tries to souths
I dunno, I think the lacklustre kick chase is just the other side of the lack of line speed that the whole side appear to be suffering from. For whatever reason we are way off the pace, kevvie needs to either give them a rest or a rocket.
Sure, but he’s still a rookie, I would have liked to have seen Mam, Sailor & Walter’s sharing some of the kicking given the circumstances. I don’t think our kick chase has been anything like it was earlier in the year either, Riki is probably a good metre or two off the pace from where he...
I think kevvie should make them watch a replay of the grand final again, they need a reminder of what they are supposed to be playing for and hopefully fire them up a bit.
I don’t know what they saw in him at the roosters, every game I watched he was bog average & here we are. They could have thrown a rock in qcup and hit a better forward.
I don’t know how you look at that game and put the loss down to some errors in the second half, that’s blaming the symptom, not the disease. We spent the first half trapped in our 30m & apart from a couple of long range try’s we didn’t fire a shot. I fully expected us to get run over in the...
Same story as last week. We look flat from kick off. The most concerning part is it’s fresh off a bye & a terrible display against the titans, so you would have thought they would come out with their tails up. Instead we looked pretty limp.
Our forward depth is pretty poor to begin with, but...
Walter’s isn’t asking many questions around the ruck this year, last season he was engaging markers and we were getting a real roll on with haas & patty driving up the middle off the back of it, this year there’s just been a lot of shuffling the ball on. We need more variety, and I think smoothy...
Blame the weak gutted nrl that has created this problem by not enforcing the rules and allowing players to have a second go at playing it on the mark, like they don’t know what they are doing by moving metres forward from it. There is no disincentive for players not to do it, refs will call them...
If they turned up with that sort of attitude against a top 4 side we would have been beaten by at least 50. There’s no underselling it, it was horrendous.
