A couple weeks ago our line speed was incredible. The Knights and Eels, two classy teams, didn't know what to do. Since then we've either gone away from that style (were giving away many set restarts) or the players are burnt out. A quarter of the way through the season it can't possibly be a fitness thing, can it?
Started with good enthusiasm in attack yesterday when chooks were settling into the game and then ill-discipline just flooded our game. We do a bit of tackling unsuccessfully, leaking tries...then we turn up with zero energy in the 2nd half. Zero energy. Surely the players had more in the tank then they demonstrated. I can't put my finger on it but it's majorly concerning and dare I say it, very reminiscent of the charity shield.
Tariq can hold his head up. He is a big game player. He didn't have a lot of mates yesterday. People ready to sink the boot into JP after missing his chance but Ramsey hasn't added much this year as much as it pains me to say.
