**** off, Santa.
**** off, Santa.
Here HereEvery season since Kevvie became head coach, we have gone better than the previous season
The rise, and rise of Patty C. He's the man now - no longer caretaker captain for a game here and there. He's the main man now until almost finals.We're about to see what Kevvie can do.
No tougher test than this.
What game did you watch bro? Riki centres, Hetho SR, Walters HB, Kotoni on a different side, Ezra out for 15. It was a clusterfuck of a game and as much as we can stand here and say defence hasn’t been good enough in the big games, which it hasn’t, but where can we have realistically have improved with the defensive set up we have got? As nice as a 3 middle bench would be it’s not plausible for us anymore, Gosiewski or Oates needs to be on the bench and considering Oates will have an extended run at wing it surely has to be Gosiewski with his ability to play SR, Middle and Centre.The rise, and rise of Patty C.

We also need to find 2023's defense and quick. ARey didn't underpin our defence last year, he had a job to do, but it was the team that repelled set after set on our own line. We recapture that, our strike potential is more than enough to get us home when it counts.

If we're taking about contending, we need to be not conceding 45- 60m a set by the 20m mark. We need to bring back last season's line speed, we're well off that. And we're bleeding a lot of points, with and without injuries.
Let in 18 against potential spooners Rabbitohs.we've been pretty poor in defence in 4 games (which we've also gone on to lose.) ... have a guess what those 4 games had in common.
If you answered that we lost key players early then you would be correct. in 2 of those games we lost an outside back, then had to shift a backrower to defend in the centres as cover and both the Roosters and Panthers took full advantage of that fact. Backrowers may be able to do a job at centre in offence, but they rarely handle it too well in D. it is arguably the hardest position on the field to defend in
Good. They'll have no excuse when we destroy them.Cleary out for 8 weeks. *Checks notes* ahh of course, back for our next game with them as is custom.
