To be honest Sivo has been atrocious for 3 months, George Jennings has been better playing for the Warriors. We probably actually improve with Sivo out of the team.

Fergo does some good things and some shit things. if someone comes in and doesn't do his shit things it should negate any of the good things.

Waqa, Taka and a couple of Jennings are good enough to get it done. In some ways, if Blake is on the wing, things might improve.

Which is why I’m happy for us to keep playing. Our attack has finally clicked again. I think we can beat whoever we play next week and then will face the game of our lives against Penrith with all the pressure and expectation on them.

panthers are primed for a choke ....

People must know much more because I think Souths will see us out next week. Unless of course they lose to the Knights.

Souths are dangerous but they are lot like us from 2019, some good, some bad...2 good games, 1 shocker.

our edge wasn’t great tonight but Souths won’t throw anymore then what storm did.

Why didn’t we challenge the obstruction against us?
Good question. I assume you mean the one where Reed ran around Nrown(?). It was near identical to the one he laid on for Fergo, Scum were a mile offside thus why he couldn't throw the pass and had to run. I was yelling for them to challenge. Just another leg up for Scum

Good performance on the whole

If we held the ball a bit better earlier and managed to get it to 18-0 or more we might have even won. Dare I say a good game plan? *cue miserable pricks*

Sadly we're not Melbourne and we can't get away with what they do in the ruck so it's no surprise they hurt us up the middle at crucial times. We could have defended better, but that's a risk of high intensity footy. Attack was very good though.

I'd go for Jennings OR Taka and debut Dunster next week if Sivo and Fergo are both out. Tough debut for Haze but not sure we can have the combined IQ of both Taka and Jennings out there....

It’s a lot of little things we get wrong and as I mentioned, compound our errors. An example was one of Brown’s kicks (I think 4th tackle) then a poor chase which led to a massive gain from a line break.

A poor kick from Mahoney followed by a dick fingers effort from Fergo. Just a lot of these little things that add up. You just can’t do that against the best teams.

Two strips, one where we were in an excellent attacking position.

I’m proud of their effort and happy our attack looked really good. 24 points on the Storm should be a confidence boost. We need some roster changes next year (centre and wings) and to fix our defensive frailties, but I’m not too unhappy right now to be honest.

Wouldn't that be hilarious?

I reckon we'd put a cricket score on the Knights.
Likewise. I’m very comfortable with where we are at. I’d never want to play an experienced side like the Roosters or Canberra in the preliminary final. Give me a young side like Penrith who will be under extreme pressure and may come in a little clunky after the week off.

That’s the one, but how stupid is this team, that could have changed everything!

We should try to get a new coach. I like Brad he is an okay coach but that is it. He isn't better than okay. Obviously Bellamy, Robinson, Bennett would be upgrades but also if they could get someone like Holbrook.
