shocking
mr humble your required
I am going to sign off tonight with this, if we don't bite the bullet and keep KK who is our best back tonight and give ourselves some options in the halves we are going to do it tough,
They know there is nothing from the 7, they push up on Feleti and KK and we are jammed, you can all come on and defend Robson with calls like ''it's not only him" but he is in the friggin way and I don't care what happened last year he has been worked out
Rant over
At last a decent kick, still doesnt solve the problem in general play
We always start slow tbh...I know it's a cliche, but it's also our style of footy. We take time to settle into it and always have, I'm not getting the knives out yet, and I;m certainly not gonna throw words like lazy around. The effort was there from most of the guys, the execution wasn't.
Why do we need a rookie fullback who is still inconsistent and finding his feet? Pretty sure we have that spot covered...
Who also plays 5/8 and frankly is a better player than robson
we will if we dont sign Inu and Mateo.
anyway, that was a really disappointing performance.
completely lacking in any intensity or energy whatsoever.
I think Gus just nailed it on the head. Lazy and out enthused.
There is no way in hell we should be out enthused. Outplayed, have an off night yes, but out enthused, no - and it's been the same for the first three weeks.
We've got a problem in the 7 and the kicking game which is there for everyone to see.
We struggle to make it out of our own half when under pressure and are giving away too many penalties and field position through mistakes.
Our defence in our own 20 and individual brilliance is keeping us in games. Cant rely on that all year.
A lot of work to do.
Clearly, based on his NRL games...let's be serious, the kid is promising, but if he plays first grade this year we have serious problems. The club clearly sees him as a fullback, having moved the very good Tim Mortimer to accommodate him, and there is no way the kid is ready. Anthony Mitchell is a better option if you want a ball player, and even he is a way off judging by the trials he played.
watching this dragons side now it's deadest remarkable we beat this side in the semi
Why? We were at our best, we aren't at the moment...stupid comment tbh
Throw in these distracting appearances on TV as well and it spells embarrasment
Oh come on. Every club does that.
I hope DA is ramming this point home... we are looking like we have more ego now than we did during the humble teamwork and skill we saw in the second half of last year - and less results/competitiveness to show for it.Time to get serious and forget about last year. Eels will get swamped unless they get their act together and stop thinking they are invicible. Reality check starts now....
