If theres a positive out of tonight.

Liam had a few shockers.... but he looked back in a way.

He looked like last year. Really really hope he can build off that

Hahaha.

Have you played footy before mate?

Centre wings will only shoot out of the line when they are short numbers..

All their line breals and trys badically were off us being down one on the edge cause we clogged the middle.

Absolutley nothing to do with salmon or sos haha.

I can cop people not liking sos and salmon but to blame them for the defence tonight is just blatantly wrong.
You talk footy like you've had at least 1 too many concussions. FWIW, played, coached, managed.

Well i suggest you go back and watch the kayo highlights coach haha

The 3 edge tries they score they have more numbers than us. Sometimes 1 up, the 3rd try they had like 5 on 3.... cause yep like i said we were cramped in the middle..

You blame sos and salmon but it has nothing to do with them.

Happy to post the screenshots for you here mate if you dont believe but i suggest maybe a rewatch before blaming players

For your referece @Abacus
Bunnies trys
1st try- 4 on 3.
3rd 5 on 3
4th 3 on 2.

None of them are the fault of sos or salmon.. legit not in anyway shape or form.

I think salmon amd sos have done a decent job filling in for SOO halfs. And they certainly didnt let anyone down in defence. They lack points in attack but bit hard to blame them for that.

Leinu had a couple of lazy moments, That is why sometimes he gets limited time

More games like that will help

Yep. He gets extremley lazy/fatigued at marker and around ruck.

He needs to learn that part of the games just as important as the explosive runs.

Still probs hes best of the year

Communication too, For Johnston's 1st try

Critter made the tackle in field
That normally means everyone slides out one, in this case no one did.
Sometimes you just have to credit the bunnies to.

No doubt they are a very good attacking team when they click.

Cody can spot and exploit numbers better than any half in th game

Communication was poor out wide, 3 in or 4 in usually controls that

Yes but it isn't like it was a trick shot, like last week the defence fell asleep and linebreaks resulted

Was alot down to tactics as ive said..

They clearly wanted to control the ruck which we did.

They just didnt scrzmble laterally fast enough.

Not sure how you can blame communication watching at ground or on tv.. not like you can see or hear it.

You can see edwards pointing where players to go when vision is zoomed out thats about it.

No doubt several factors played a role but you can see how bunched we were in the middle on almost all their linebreaks. Was a clear ploy to nulify cook amd murray..

We need to find a better balance.

Cook might be the most overrated player in the game, not sure you need to target him really
