What has changed in the past three years ???What teams beat us every year and what teams do we beat and what has been done by Shines and Sizzler to turn things around??
This year look at the teams that have beaten us The Dogs,Penrith,Bronks,Raiders,Chooks and Parra. Except for maybe the raiders ,at full strength or near full strength they have big packs of forwards who just trample our mob.
Now this has been evident for years but what have we done nothing. Okay we had no chance yesterday with our injury toll,but nothing would have changed even at full strength. We are still too small and brittle to beat the likes of manly,parra and any other team who turn up with a big mean pack. Even teams like souths will beat our mob if they are in half decent form.
Most teams go with two props on the bench, yesterday we went into a game without any props,madness. My big beef is what have we done to fix the problem --nothing coach Shines keeps putting his head in the sand and while that happens the Eels Manly chooks Dogs and the likes we keep smashing us.
Excuses like injuries and refs are starting to sh.t me, they are a long way away from the good sides of this comp and it comes down to the make up of the team as much as anything
Anyway if you expect changes this year and next your dreaming--The second round slide slide has started
