Thought both teams were horrible. Tremendous amount of work to get this club into contention. We did defend well, that was the only shining light. The sharks were atrocious and a good football side would have put 30+ on them tonight.
1. Hodges
2. McGuire
3. Kahu
Forwards were beaten again, we got the advantage during the interchanges but that was about it. Every week McGuire puts in, turning into a great consistent prop.
I know it's early but I'm tipping the broncos to miss the 8 this year, team looks completely in-cohesive, the attack is lead by 3 players who are nowhere near ready for that responsibility.
Watching them play you get a feel like there's an extreme lack of leadership in the team, alot of ad-lib football that isn't being directed by anyone in particular to ensure the team is working toward a goal be it pressure, repeat set, set plays or just working the ball up the field and finishing with a good kick.
McCullough, Reed & Maranta haven't done anything wrong but they embody what's fundamentally wrong with the team, toilers who are good for a 5/6 out of 10 performance week in week out. They all have no firepower, spark whatever you want to call it and are incapable of outplaying their opposite numbers and passively wait for them to outplay themselves. Boring too watch and the good teams in the comp will put them to the sword convincingly all year.
