i thought it was very poor last night, and i notice it's mainly the backs copping it(and rightly so), but i can't help but feel on what i saw, our forwards were completely outplayed in the ruck thus giving the backs no room to work with. The scoreline flattered us, and i thought we played better against the Roosters, yet were flogged more than what we were last night. Lets not forget the score was 30-12 at one stage and i felt that was a fair indication of the difference between the sides. The season is far from over, but it's a timely reminder to the boys about the effort required EVERY week.
On another note, i wonder how much Benjis' manager thinks he is worth now? Will he still be looking for more back pay before signing a new contract? He isn't ready for 1st grade week in and week out, and it will be interesting to see how his shoulder holds up when he eventually returns. Could be another Scott Hill with shoulder problems.
