Horrible last 5-6 mins and it’s all down to Moses shit kicking, if it was someone else he’d be blowing up at them

Bad kick by Moses (two actually), Doorey rushing out of the line, couple of high tackles. Annoying more than anything.

Some both good and some not so good points from the game. You can forget the second half as it will be mostly non-NRL standard players taking the field, so the end result will be fairly irrelevant.

I think our back 5 getting us out of our own Red Zone is going to be hugely problematic. We also basically only have 8 NRL standard backs...the 7 who started the game and Kelly. After that and we're getting into Rookies and non-NRL level players.

We'll rely too much on Moses kicking game getting us out of trouble. When that doesnt come off, like it didnt a couple of times in that half, we're going to be under an enormous amount of pressure.

There's quite some negative vibe in your post, and some of it is warranted. But we do have a more positive energy about us over what I've seen in the past. I also don't think we're as dismal as you're portraying. Maybe you need a holiday away from Canberra.

Yes I dont know many times they could barely get out of the 40, compared the Roosters. The forwards didnt have the same go forward. Hopefully its something they'll improve.

That was the reality check 40mins that our first choice 17 had to have.

Brings them - and us - down to earth, so that they (not us) can all put in the hard work necessary if they want to become a top 8 side. Plenty of room for improvements, in defence skills and endurance, attack skills and execution, and in thinking/decision-making.

Lets see what the kids and randos from both clubs do this half, for what that's worth
