Left early for th first time in 30 odd years, really struggling to find anything positive with the forwards and halves being less than NRL basic standard. Junior is a shadow and has another year on big money, Joe O works hard but is a complementary prop. Lane is not game fit, Williams is a prop doing a job and Hands and Hopgood are who they are. The halves were invisible , and it looked like the back 5 were ok but with no go forward and no service from the 6 and 7 were ok but were done for.
As before Sam T was our best prop and he isn’t signed for next year and Smith is not in the top 30.
yes a team of inexperienced players,but different to the Roosters who had leaders taking them forward. Tedesco, Tupou, even Townsend ,ad Connor Watson with Crichton in the forwards led them well. Where were our experienced players today , not in the same universe And seriously missing in action.
