Come on guys - yes the final score was terrible but they didn't run away with in until the last twenty minutes. The effort was there and WE defended ok on our line.
Lets not forget we started with two front rowers who have never played NRL with the eels, and one of them was making their debut. Replace them with Jason and Mannah and I reckon the result would have been a lot closer.
It was obvious the debuts lack some fitness for the NRL, but they will be better for the experience.
Our side had 3 backs and 3 forwards missing from our starting line up. Yes the warriors have had a few injuries but they have had time to blood players.
And when Keating came on we just didn't have enough ball to make a game of it.
I think tonight our biggest problem was lack of a quality and experienced half who has a good kicking game. We had enough chances to score a few points which may have changed the game. But WE NEVER EVER TRY TO GET A REPEAT SET. Gee we kick to the wing on the last all time, lets try something different. We were never going to out jump the warriors wingers. Apart from not having a half I also put some blame on the coach, surely they work on last tackle options at training, IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
