That was simply our worst effort of the year. Absolutely inept in defence. So glad we only lost by 8. Deserved a thumping, thank god we didn't play Melbourne, wouldn't have scored a point. Those intercepts thrown by Cleary and Moyza were stupid, nothing was happening, hospital balls. The try to Nofoaluma on half time was heart breaking. We were slipping off tackles all night, Tedesco tore Carty to shreds. Mansour with a typical 250 metre effort, a beast as always. Cleary tried hard, could have run a bit more perhaps with the time he had. Either way that was an abhorrent defensive effort. Knew when we were up 14-2 that both tries could have gone against us, and when Tedesco ran straight through it looked awful. We also had 57% possession for most of the game, but every break the Tigers made, we let them through. Oh well, good performances from Mansour, Merrin and others. Hardaker looked alright, nothing much, didn't get heaps of a chance. Can't blame him for not passing to Yeo late in the game and going himself, but that was nearly a certain try to Yeo in the corner. Hopefully that is a big indication we need to focus on defence first, particularly against Cronulla next week. At least Carty won't get picked for Origin.
