After watching tonight's game and seeing afew blokes trying to play for their careers and opportunities for next year! I'm going to say just how terrible majority of the team played considering how hungry they should have been tonight.
Afew take away for me.....
1. Cole ain't it...he did alright last week on the front foot but was ass again tonight when on the back foot and once again went hiding= not 1st grade worthy playing like that. Pretty much played without a 6 again tonight with him there.
2. Glad we let Turuva go as he hasn't put in majority of the year and got out played by McLean tonight.
3. The young hooker that played tonight has potential. Great kick almost got him a 40/20 and looked sharp when running the ball.
4. Our forward stocks are terrible especially our bench tonight. Mav definitely ain't it. Didn't run with any abitly whatsoever. Fish and Leota have been dropping off on their usual impact massively over the past few weeks.
5. Laurie should never play fullback again. No attack and let balls bouce
Yes it was a wet game but the Dragons no body players all outplayed our players. Our boys should have played alot harder than that. Hardly hit hard in tackles and hardly made a dint up the middle.
My thoughts on the game.
Cole is looking better each game he plays.
Smiley Henry 78 tackles. 2 misses .Not bad for a kid,
39% possession in the 2nd half, lose Kenny and Leota. Not going to win too many games with that amount of ball.
Like the look of Mclean. He will be something special.
Alamotti (I believe) will replace May.
Dragons didn't concede a penalty in the 2nd half. Only 2 errors also in the 2nd half. Probably their best half of footy in a number of years.
Disappointed Yes. Devestated no.
It was a very young team tonight. Lots of lessons were learnt.
