Backline looks great on paper. If only I was as excited about our forwards and bench. Who is our goal kicker again?
Backline can look as good as it wants but if those forwards to lay the platform then it's gonna be another long afternoon.

Can the forwards really be blamed for the last 2 weeks? We had pretty of ball especially against the panthers, over the last 2 weeks in good attacking position!

If the forwards aren't doing their job then the backs get stifled in attack. The backs we have used thus far have been creamed by the opposition teams. Having 15 different fullbacks too hasn't helped.

Our setup runs from the forwards are bad. Our forwards are not denting the defensive line. They have minimal tackle busts and are not generating quick play the balls. As a result the defensive line can move up quickly on our halves and outside backs smothering them for room.

We lost the ruck again how can that not be the fowards fault???

We continually give away penalties because we lose the ruck and can’t slow down the opposition again how is that not the forwards fault???

I think Josh was referring to the times we were in the red zone and could not jag a try or two. Scoring points from set playings in the opp 25 is what they practice all day for.

But when you spend most the of the game tackling it uses up your Juice in attack. 33% of the ball in the first half and that was a direct result of losing the ruck and continually giving away penalties.

Not trying to give it to BA but he only made those changes due to injures..

Hayne on the wing instead of Hoffman is interesting.. along with Penishands at lock.

Don't know, but dropping your captain is a big f**ken move in my book!!

Not only that, they have plenty of time to number up so they’re rarely short on an edge.

Good point. But one thing our forwards don't seem to do much from that position is score tries. Is that their fault? The coaches'? The halves and hooker?

BEST side we have had I am glad BA is finally listening to his old mate Stevie.

Jayne to #2 = Masterstroke.

I'm really not sure that Hayne will be any good on the wing. He's not the player he was. I don't believe he can run anymore. (I really hope I'm wrong.) I'd have him at five-eight. I do understand, though, that it would be hard for BA to drop Norman after last week's improved effort. I just don't expect much from Hayne on the wing.
