I don't think we knew what we were doing. Felt like we were just all over the place. No clear structures in attack or defence.
Promising signs in the end when we had nothing to lose, would have liked that during the competitive stages.
Still, no props to remain competitive. Raiders really out-muscled us through the middle.
Biggest issue tonight seemed to be attitude. The players we've lost since our victories haven't been enough to excuse our losses thus far. Seems like morale has taken a hit. It's not the most star-studded roster, but we know what these boys are capable of. They just aren't providing.
Never felt like we were honestly competitive. We had flashes, but they don't amount to an acceptable 80 minute performance. A lot of self doubt prevailed.
As a side note, I'm not convinced that Robinson is our best winger going forward beyond 2013. He's a solid attacker - he's fast and strong and knows where to be. But he isn't exceptional, and I feel that Mansour is a more complete prospect. Sauce is fast, strong, breaks tackles and doesn't let up - plus his handling is a cut above. Sauce can tackle too - when he's positioned properly. Hopefully he sorts this out.
Well played Raiders. Strong performance. Definitely a less embarrassing loss than last week for us. I only hope we can sort some of this shite out. Our inability to change the team really doesn't justify such a significant turn-around in form so far, as much as some fans might hope to blame.
