100 per cent marked improvement just need to fix our goal line defence we consceded most of our tries from and there was no reason why we should have not won by 20 points or more, considering there was no Johns or Tahu and they only had a 1 man bench.

Ball handling and conceding stupid penaltys at critical times also needs some attention, but that for me is the beauty of our side at the moment, we are playing well below our best and yet we are still beating top quality sides !

our goal line defence is the worst in the league. its so depressing to see everyone score from dummy half

Was a big win and should give the team plenty of confidence to go on with things......but........

Goal Line Defence is disgraceful.......

Consistantly dont make as much ground with the ball as our opposition cause our forwards dont hit the advantage line well enough and we dont play the ball fast enough.......

Most of the time too one out in attack....We need a bit more variety in our attack, Wagon needs to play in a different position, probably lock.

Consistantly dont move up in defence as quick and as consistantly as we need to. We let the opposition make to many metres in the Forwards.....

Still make too many dumb errors and give away too many penalties....

Goal kicking almost cost us the game. A goal is worth half a try remember. Burt needs to improve on this.....

Lots to work on, but there is nothing better than a win against a side like Newcastle to improve the confidence.

Yes GP, if the Roosters play poorly everyone says how brilliant they are that they can win by playing poorly. We play poorly and we're supposedly no hope :?
It's a long season and as long as we keep improving every week we'll be in good shape come September.

Also I think this is the first time since rnd 25 2002 that we have more wins than losses :|

Yes, very good win

Parra have a ton of improvement in them yet see themselves 2-1 after 3 rounds with one of the toughest 1st months I've ever seen in a draw. Parra at worst will finish 2-2 in the 1st month with a possible 3-1 start.

If anyone had told the boys they'd be 3-1 after the opening 4 rounds they would have taken it in a heartbeat

Bulldogs - Away
Broncos - Away
Knights - Home
Raiders - Away

Very very tough start to the year.

110% spot on Hurri. I was even willing to take 1 win from 4 after the Bulldogs game. The boys should be pumped to finally exact some revenge on the Canberramatta Raidereels next week after they humiliated us twice last year. REVENGE IS NEAR! :twisted:

Great wins guys. GLad to see Mick V got some balls back and actually ran like a forward! Up 14-0 and then when the Knights kept coming at us I thought we were going to let our win dissapear.. Fantastic effort - pick up on our line defence and it could be a good season. Now for Canberra!
