I never like the games we are meant to win.
And particularly vs Bennett who thrives on this stuff. It’s a dangerous game. The old dragons lose this, will the new dragons?

I hope Flanno has them working double time on their defence this week. I always thought Flanno coached teams were gritty and won off the back of their defence. I can’t say I’ve seen that thus far. In fairness though, there have been some rule changes over the last few years which probably explains some of these score blow outs.
Still, some of our defensive efforts last week were abysmal, I really expected better after 2 offseason’s with Flanno. I hope he can fix this asap.

I've defended Feagai a lot in the past.. and even that try where he came racing up people are blaming him for was actually more Suli's fault than his.. you can see Suli stay in when he should have been turning out, and by the time the ball is on the outside of Suli, Mat's only choice was to jam in and try to shut it down.

However, the rest of Mat's game was pretty poor and I just don't see how you can pick him this week. Unfortunately I also see Flano putting Lawrie in which will be tear your hair out stuff. The way Flano's spoken about Lawrie a couple of times over the off season is really concerning to me.. speaking as if he's going to be really important for us. We need to get Klemmer in asap, the middle is horrendous right now.
What frustrates me with Mat (mostly but other wingers too) is when they are flat to border line in front of their centre in attack.
It happened again on Saturday, Suli slipped a pass out to Feargai but he had over run it. One metre back in formation and he catches it and is away

That happens with a winger that has no acceleration and is only equal to or slower than the centre.
