[Murishido]

With our halves it will be a miracle if this is a game at all

 

[Murishido]

Again generated more linebreaks but less tries.

Think we're on pace for the worst try to linebreak ratio in nrl history I think.

 

[Captain Apollo]

So far, this season is going very m,uch like 2016 did.

So far, this season is going very m,uch like 2016 did.

I think we were bad across the park in 2016.

This year it's clear that it's the worst halves in the comp holding us back.

We're punching through defences midfield but are impotent inside 10m.

We've got known leapers on the outside but neither half can seem to land an attacking kick near them.

Our tries are coming from pure beating players man to man on the outside because there's no capacity to ball play from either the 6 or 7. Smith might have more intercept than try assists. And townsend at his age can't play opposite a lower quality half.
