A swamp? That must be nice. I live in the pigeon faeces-infested rainwater on Eelementary’s driveway

We are number one in the NRL for offloads, with daylight second. We're still fourth for support runs, but I suspect that has slipped in the past couple of months. Hand in hand with our offloads is the fact we have made the second most number of errors. However the Roosters are third, so it's not necessarily a bad sign.

We are also third last (in front of only the Warriors and Broncos) for decoys but you don't need to run a lot of decoys to have good attack. However it is considered an effort area - those one percenters we always hear about. No not bikies.

We have also conceded the fewest penalties but that also means we are probably conceding a few too many quick play-the-balls near our tryline. That seemed to be the case on Thursday at least.

So we offload willy-nilly and in desperation (because we can't build a threatening attack any other way) and then drop the ball a lot. And we don't use decoy runners very well. Good coaching, eh?

ABC grandstand talked about us today, basically said, our effort has been good but we looked tired. Middles playing big minutes early in the season probably contributed. Our attack was good early in the year.

with Covid-19 rules it’s difficult to “refresh” the side.

they talked a bit about Covid—19 rules. Lewis said he has spoken to a few players and a lot are struggling mentally. No opportunities to get away from footy, can’t even go for walk, coffee or swim. So players just have 100% focus on footy. Players getting tired.

I’m sure they’re tired but they’d rather the money than sit out the year.

It suits the team we have. Where on the ladder do you think this team should be sitting? Should we go back and look at your pre-season predictions?

BA on 100% Footy on 9 tomorrow night. Gus and Gal have been death riding us all year. Gotta give BA a thumbs up for fronting up. Maybe the pair of pussys will run cold. Hope not. Im keen to see how BA handles their "strong opinions".
