Come on Pou, the squads that we played had 1 origin player (Papali). And a bunch of injuries. And more importantly they were in the bottom 4.
We are generally nothing short of pathetic or at best very ordinary away from Pirtek.
I do not see this changing in 2015.
I think our players have just been out-enthused.
I don't know how much the coaching had to do with it.
Brad Arthur is obsessed with completion rates meaning ofoads are reduced to a minimum.

Hahaha it took you two sentences to some up my 3 paragraphs lol.
Yes that's right. We didn't have that balance in the last two games. Completion rates is all well and good but if you don't use the ball when you've got it then the defence will pick you off like how they did yesterday.
We only started looking good yesterday when the offloads came in the second half. Canberra could not compete we tore them a new one.
I rate BA I think he's a good coach. I was so happy when he was picked as coach. What I liked about him that he is attacking football minded but the last two weeks he's put the blinkers on the team. with one out footy and predictable back line movements we've been thrashed twice by inferior teams.
Just curious - what team do you actually follow?
We didn't have a single player in the top 20 for offloads and actually conceded the most offloads in the NRL. Willie Tonga had 17 from only 16 games, Hayne had 18 and David Gower lead with 20 but was still 10 short of making the top 20. I don't think we kept offloads to a minimum but we were certainly more conservative in that area than most teams.
That's because the best way to combat offloads is through aggression and line speed - something we lack.
We didn't score a point in the final fifteen minutes. Did we stop trying to offload or did Canberra's defence switch back on after a brief five minute lull?
Let's not flatter ourselves about why we scored those three tries. We needed at least two more and we couldn't get them in fifteen minutes of play.
Go and get a f**king clue and then come back and tell us your stories.
You need to get clue you stats obsessed fool. Idiots like yourself and our current coach and his mentor kearney, believe its all about stats and percentages, and all that bullshit.
Where has conservative, high percentage footy taken us since it was introduced by the great Kearney back in 2011?
Get over all this science crap and let the guys play some footy
