Seriously, for me the turning point was the sloppy set of 6 after Sandows 40/20. After the best 40/20 this year that should have turned into points.

Absolutely!!!

Geez it was a poor set, no direction at all, and no attempt at a kick on the last. We score that set we win the game.

What about when Sandow got tackled on the last playing for a penalty?!?


Desperately frustrating to lost to a try like the one Tate scored though.

Do we have any capable wingers at wenty?

I'm desperate here and have had a few schooners so bear with me but what if on the 4th or 5th tackle the open side winger swapped with hayne to diffuse the bombs seeing he is the only one of our back 3 that can catch ( I'm hopeful that the useless pricks on our wings could cover the short kicks in the middle)

Or at least Morgan swaps with his winger ( idris use to do this with hazem with good success)

Swapping positions on the last would be a recipe for disaster. Given the uselessness of our mob they'd stuff up every time and the wing would be left completely un-marked. You give our side too much credit thinking they'd be able to execute that effectively.

TBH I am more worried about how our wingers let in tries every week BY NOT STAYING ON THEIR WINGS!

He had no line break assists last year and not too many this year. His kicking game is average and he doesn't threaten the line when he runs the ball. Jeff robson mark 2

I'll put it into perspective. cowboys had 70% possession in the first half. 70% of the first half was also played in the parra's half. Cowboys completed 20/21 sets while parra completed 8/14. This along with penalty counts made it hard for the halves to apply their trade. He was lucky to touch the ball. If you were expecting Kelly to make a break from his 10 metre line chip over the top and score then we need to sign Anthony Mundine.

I hope Loko hasn't done further damage to his knee he looked really hurt towards the end of the game.

Did anyone are the spray Fui gave Hayne from that scrum try? Fair carve up.

Is it the case these days that a half can only play well if they are delivered they perfect conditions?

we mostly defended admirably .... but it was 2 woeful pieces of defence that cost us the game

terrible scrum defence
terrible wing defence - we had 4 defenders on 3 and toutai charged in on a guy who was marked

Can you point out any game where he has provided a line break assist? Or broke the line?

The knees in the back/ribs from Sims wouldn't have helped either. Still can't believe that Sims wasn't penalised, and JT wasn't sent to the bin.
