If Simmo is fit he gets over Harper. Otherwise sadly the only reason you don't drop Harper is because we have no one better. Our outside backs have been in this pitiful state for two years at least and we are going to go through at least one more season of this shit.
To be honest, I thought we lacked an alternative plan once Moses was gone. Dylbags was more that impressive in my mind but we lacked support and structure once we were on the attack. I thought the WT deserved that win. They played harder, never gave up and had the plays that mattered. I also think BA has a lot of soul searching to do because we kinda look predictable when all is said and done.

We're you at the game when the crowd growned when we took the tap.

Everyone knew take the 2.

We had a gift at halftime but should have been to take it to 8-6 not 6-all.

If we are up 14-6 when Galvin goes the bin instead of 12-6 it's a different game.

The problem with your logic is if we take the two earlier the game completely changes course from where it went. More than likely we don't get the chance to take the two just before the half. In fact, we might have been up 12 or behind by 12 at half time.

Yeah, we were camped in their 20 and couldn't do anything. Dunno what they practice

They 100% deserved the win. Dylbags played his own game well, he just isn't the one to take control and steer us around the park when we need it. Same thing with Gutho there, he was putting his hand up for shit especially late in the game that aren't the areas he is good at. I question the idea of playing Blaize at 6 when we looked reluctant to really give him any of the responsibility playing in the halves required without Moses, meanwhile Galvin is on the other side ultimately carving us up to get them the win. There are a lot of glaring issues with this side, and a lot of it comes back to BA just seemingly being unable to see that it's not working, or too stubborn to change. He's had his time to get this side playing the footy he wants to 'coach', and it just doesn't work for us. It's time to move on.

How bad is this teams support play?? We are an offloading team but we never support the ball carrier. Something else that isn’t the coaches job I suppose………..

So many times we made half breaks and no one was there backing up.
This is why I keep f**king saying that BA has no clue about attack. He is all about defense and the collision.

We really should have put this game to bed today before half time, yet we went in at 6-6.
I'm not blaming the players. I'm blaming the coaching and the tactics. We have no f**king idea how to attack.
We haven't done so for a decade.
