Welp, I'm going to go and drink.
- Mullen was easily our best. Outstanding in defense stopping both Inglis and Burgess by himself. In attack his fifth tackle options weren't always the best but the two repeat sets were great. He doesn't have the same speed as he used to but give him enough room and he'll put people into space.
- Saifiti twins were excellent in attack. For nineteen year olds playing their second game of first grade they were outstanding. Jacob has a bit to go defensively on the edge, I think he was part of the problem our right edge had throughout the game. But I won't fault him, Gagai and Uate have enough games under their belt to know how to shut down backline plays. One of them has to be dropped next week.
- Feeney needs to learn in NSW Cup. Take Gagai out of the line and put him at the back. I think the kid is still a good prospect in the position but learning from scratch in first grade isn't going to help.
- I liked our effort for the most part in the final 20. Some really nice carries up the middle. The effort was there, Badger f**king us over made me want to punch the TV, couldn't catch a break with the Levi and Korbin tries.
Overall, poor handling and the same people making the same defensive errors they've been making for three and four years cost us the game. Frustrating, tiring but eh, not sure why I expected anything different. I hope Brown fires up and rips into a few of them. That right edge can't remain the same next week. There's something positive in this team. What it is, I don't know.
