Decent effort and we had our moments in the first half.

Certainly in the contest to this point.

If we go the whole 80 competing instead of fading after 60 then it's a step forward. If we come out of the sheds and play like busted farts for the second half then we've achieved nothing.

 

[Suitman]

Must admit we seem to play more entertaining footy nowadays

Ahhm, ok.
It's taken you this long?
Not just entertaining, but so much better organised.

Momentum usually changes when Walters comes on for the Bronx

And we aren't a 2nd half team, hopefully we keep it 1-12

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Loved Lomax's pick-up on Walsh. But missed were the ref found a Penalty Broncos in the next tackle...?

Hopgood crusher
Soft but a penalty

I didn’t mean maggots either lol

Once again we give away an intercept! Then a simple missed tackle to concede another try.

Oh well, let's hope we put in a better second half than last week.

They are there for the taking.

We get 15-20 metres of better field position each set of six with Moses kicking game. That’s the difference.

Better ball, less pressure on defence and therefore more energy. It’s allowing us to hit harder and be more attacking without the ball. They all look like better players because of it.

Go team!

And all these inexperienced players are learning.
Papalli has been excellent tonight in a different role.

 

[Sensei Cobra]

So should we expect the same as the last few weeks … hope in the first half and fall apart in the second half

I based my opinion on recent history. I don't think we've learned how to 'mongrel' yet. Competing for the entire 80 is what I'm interested in, atm.

Unfortunate auto correct…
I agree 100%

I hope Moey makes a difference with us fading in the last 20 Eelo

Not looking forward to this second half

That missed tackle was horrible, I reckon Iongi saves that one nine times out of ten.

Looked like big #17 Sam T with the initial missed tackle for that try, with a few missed cover attempts after that.

 

[eel01s]

That is the big question. Can we keep up the pressure with our defence? We also cannot play one out hit ups out of our own end.

Moretti still to come on, can he make an impact?

I god damn love tights
