What a circus all round.
I know everyone is going to be ticked off with that performance and in many ways rightly so but it is round 1 and these new players and positions need time to gel. We’ll lose a few more still before that happens. Don’t be surprised if we are something like 1-3 and that’s ok.
The Roosters tonight were just about perfect. All their passes were sticking, everything they tried came off and still, we were right in it until very, very late despite the opposite being true for us.
There were some really good signs in Aquaman, Arthars and Walsh playing Calmer.
Piakura going down screwed everything up and there were a couple of times where East’s were shooting up on Walsh and that had a short pass to Piaks For a try written all over it but he wasn’t there.
I actually liked a lot of what I saw of Cobbo at centre, he’ll get a lot better there but at least he went looking for work, what was Staggs excuse?
Our big 3 looks good, in fact the backline itself looks great once it all clicks. The forwards were decent too but there are too many toilers and that is exactly why we needed Willison. That change I just don’t understand, especially given Taupau played such little minutes. I was not of a fan of the coaching in this game, sorry Kevvie even though I love you.
The big question for me is…how many more games like that before we start worrying about Reynolds?
