Was a slight improvement in my eyes due to the better handling. Before Latu's string of errors we had 86% completion in the 70th minute or so. Even still, defence was too soft in the tries let in, attack was left wondering, too much sideways running. Smith with poor defensive reads and obviously a bad drop, have to feel for the guy. Blake had a decent game. DWZ certainly wouldn't be a big loss, just a solid winger atm. Edwards with an OK debut, highlight stopping that try early on. Hardaker was pretty average, not showing much atm. Would put Peach in at centre and drop Hardaker, Edwards and Smith. Yeo even could be good for us at centre because of his defence. We are certainly missing Whare and Hiku but we really need Carty out of 5/8th but we have no one else until TMM is back and at least he is performing admirably. A big crowd today but not the performance needed. Next week should be another loss to what should be a desperate Eels team. Hope Wal isn't too badly injured, we need his experience, our team is so young. Can only imagine if Brisbane get into form after playing the Bunnies next week, we may be handed a flogging in Brisbane. Our forward pack is also not impressing at the moment, big Kikau might get a chance seeing how much Griffin chops and changes our team. Merrin is performing well, puts in. At the start of the year at least we hung in, kept it close. Now we are caving in a bit more which is a pity. Hoping for a big improvement next week but won't count on it.
