Xerri playing was a positive but not really what I was talking about.

Nothing went our way tonight but we hung in there with f**k alll ball (& crucial players missing) & the Eels on, ly skipped away In the last 8.

If you can’t see any positives “overall”, you’re a hard marker.
Maybe, it's a game I'd just like to erase from my memory. Despite the injuries too many things just annoyed me to feel positive about the game at all.

So at this point in time it looks like we don't make the MAY Grand Final, but come September if we can have our best on the field regularly I reckon that we might have a real good shot of being in their and swinging.

Last week Parra gave up in last 20, this week they hung on.

Positives from us
Nikora he is class
Katoa improved, the concern and can see it coming turns his back on defence, will get ball knocked from grasp
Xerri has speed to burn ran well in traffic, will be so much better with SJ
J.Brailey has improved from last season runs from dummy half.
B.Brailey different from his brother in style, improvement on Seggy
Dugan he got smashed head knock back knock, but he gutted it out made mistake trying to stop try, but if forwards had done work to start would have been easier for him
Williams makes ground when got on

Negatives

Feki Parra aimed at his wing all night, seem him as weak link, seemed gun shy in catching bombs, and when we kicked didnt even contest with ferguson
Flanagan He has gone backwards awful kicking game
Townsend Had to stand up tonight he didnt, drop ball after making break, reverted back to inside pass after inside pass, lack of creativity
Bukuya whenever he starts offers little
Sorensen Again not upto bench standard

Bit rough on Townsend.

He had little around him. Flanagan isn’t very good and takes no heat off him.

The forwards were dominated again. 4th week in a row.
Bakuya sucks as a starter.
Sorensen is trash
Williams is ok but needs more minutes or something.
Prior to the glue factory
Capewell is only keeping Graham’s spot warm.

Again we struggled and fought in the Rick while standing. Slow play the balls all game from minute 1. Took all the time away from the halves. As soon as we had a quick play the ball, Brailey ran well, but had zero support pushing up.

Dugan- back, hip etc
Morris-chest/pec

Johnson hopefully
Gallen needed to replace woods

Stake might get his wish and see Kennedy next week

I only saw the first half but going by whats said here and what lve seen this year.

With wade, moyza, gal and sj back with feefs and the crew we are top 4.
With the same ensemble out we are middle of the pack at best.

Capes IS NOT first grade standard.
Duges IS NOT a fullback.
Flanno junior probably wont have an NRL career. He wouldve been a standout by now.
Wingers in 2019 have a skillset Feki doesnt posses. He can compete against the titans and bulldogs - slow cumbersome opponents with average kicking games. He is a liability against top 6 sides.

I thought Chad went OK considering who we were missing - we were always going to struggle for creativity without SJ & Moylan.
Really happy with how Nikora is improving every game - impressive.

With Woods out for a few weeks, we need some big bodies on the bench. Sorenson just doesn't cut it as a middle, he barely cuts it on an edge.
Doogs - well it's centre or nothing for mine ... but I'm with ya Snoop !

Few things from me;

Dugan - is an attention seeking, mental midget - doesn't have the mental capacity to be a top player, we're paying massive overs for what we're getting

Xerri - Looks the goods, but we criminally under used him. Only time he got a touch was clearing our end. He looked dangerous ball in hand, why we didn't give him the ball with space is ridiculous

Feki - Couple of mistakes, but did some good clearance work

Morris - is all class

Flanno Jnr - like Chad, is a steady Eddie, hence we lacked creativity

Fifita - appears to be jogging into collision. He's got gotta run straight and hard more often

Refs - were fekkin useless
