I fear if Semu doesn't we'll be conceeding a couple of hundred kilos to their pack. Even with him we'll be light on. Surely it's ducks and drakes to keep pressure off him until game day?
My only concern with this method is we're never going to achieve the complete control you were mentioning that made the panthers so successful. The Storm route, that club has a lot of pull as the most successful club over the last 20 years, coming to a bit of a halt in the last 4 years...
I love your positivity @Santa but the blatant reality this season is just not our year.
Our fitness is dismal compared to last season. Like seriously poor.
We were kissed by luck with injuries last season. This year, it's like a uno-reverse card on that front.
We had the best bench in the...
Indeed, we missed our shot and now it's 2016 all over again. ARey's arm I'd wager was more then final nail rather than the catalyst. We were already performing well under what was needed to dethrone the Panthers.
Well, I'd contend we have been this bad even at full strength. The difference is we tend to have a lot of points in us at full strength which paints over the cracks.
This is not a well prepared team. There's no two ways about that.
Broncos '23 would put 60 on these pretenders. They are a...
Not always a bad thing as long as it's stablised and not at risk of damaging the repair work - but as he's been doing this at games and in dressing rooms in full view of the medicos I'd say there's a low risk in their view.
Definitely won't be seeing Reyno early - he will have to resume...
This is part of the issue.
Melbourne without Munster. Riff without Cleary. Both are still top 8 teams, heck, you could take out Paps and Yeo and they'd still finish in the top eight.
The squad at the very minimum needs to be hanging onto the ball and defending well enough to scratch out tough...
Cobbo isn't the only one dropping the ball all the time - lots of errors all round.
And hard disagree on the last line. Season is over barring some fucking miracle. It will be amazing to even make the 8 at this rate. Thoughts of a premiership are now laughable.
ARey has been painting over a lot of cracks in this team.
They are unfit. Few sets into the game and guys are already hands on knees.
They can't hang onto the fucking ball to save their lives.
Lost in attack without ARey and can't just chuck it at the fast guy at the back and hope something...
Said it since round 1. The team is miles off the fitness of 2023. This is a big reason why there's so many errors, players are just fatiguing far too quickly and it's leading to a lot of mistakes we didn't make last year. In attack and defence.
Fire our fitness and conditioning team into the sun.
