High ball problems

[Molly]

Beaten by a more desperate side tonight, whilst we battles a few fronts, we were out enthused in the second half.

Out archilles heel really seems to be the high ball. Why have we stopped contesting at times, it happened last week and again tonight. If I was coming up against us it would be bombs away for me....

its early in the year. but it is a slight concern for the moment. we must contest every kick!

Billy Slater is suspect under the high ball. He'll produce great catches under pressure but then sometimes he can cough up the easier ones.

I've never wanted to break stuff so much in my life! How the f**k do we get run down with a 12 point lead. I hope Bellyache flogs em at training this week!

That's the worst thing he can do. We have been on the road too much and the players deserve a bit of a break and we'll get one with Manly on the Monday night.

Are you sure about that? Eagles are going well ATM...

I meant a break from travelling and training too much, not assuming that the Eagles were going to be easybeats. Far from that, its going to be another tough game for us.
