We had a few good games at the end of last season. Penrith finals and beating the Storm. But the last 10-12 games where average in 2021. Those two games kind of masked our flaws.

13 games in this year and had 2 good games against both those sides. Excellent wins. But they where 50/50.
Two very embarrassing losses against terrible sides. Diabolical sides. And one flogged us.
A few close wins against average sides.Scraped home against Titans twice. A few close losses to solid sides in Roosters,Sharks,Manly. A flogging against Cowboys.
We have hardly been great or consistent. Unsure how the season will finish. Could see us flicking a switch and being top 4. Could also see us falling apart and finish where I predicted them. 10th.

RCG, bar-lor, lane, Gutho, rheed, all seem to have gone backwards.

It's 2022 ffs. Coaches don't build sides, they get who they can afford. The recruitment/retention committee decides who to prioritise.

But coaches develop the strategy and tactics for the side they have and this powerful, lazy pack needs to maximise runs while minimising tackles. That requires completing our sets, which isn't what happened today. 73% completion rate ffs. It was less than 70% in the first half. The merkins ran out there and did their own thing. They deserved this result, and so do the rest of you deathriding merkins.

We’re cooked. I don’t blame BA’s strategy or tactics but the players consistently failing to stick those strategy/tactics is on him. We just aren’t football smart. Too many chiefs, not enough cooks
