Took 10 minutes for us to lose any line speed
Things I notice
1.Our kick offs ( we should be good at this) are 10-15 short..as are our drop outs
2. We simply cant complete after [ somehow) we score
3.We are slow. Very slow. Fitness is obviously lacking...look at guts on Fifs
4.Basic handling is v poor. It seems like half a miracle when we score
Basically today for me went as expected.

All about attitude. We turned up for a game, they turned up to win it.

I'm a Bomber fan, but if I have to point the finger it's going to be in his direction.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there may be many coaches in an NRL team set-up. ie Head Coach and a team of assistants, defence coach, attack coach, wrestle coach, sprint coach, piss-up coach etc

Now I seem to have this misconception that a head coach's main role is not to teach how to play the ball, pass it, mark up or whatever, but to motivate, to get the team's mostly tiny brains in the right place to go out and do their job. That doesn't appear to be happening.

It's time for John Boy to drop the Mr Nice Guy image, put on the cranky pants, and start kicking some arse. :take that

this is what happens when fans dont get out to the game and support their team. I saw all the merge fans were there.

Thinking back to 2016 - we were never great in attack but always defending like our lives were at stake.

For whatever reason we have lost that hunger to play for each other. I think it starts with our forward pack.

Looking forward to Nene starting, our wingers today way to small and make zero impact coming off our line. Rudolph n Williams only forwards that had a go tonite n what's all the love for Tracey!! Reckon he's very average n threw more forward passes than Hunt. Can't believe we played him for 30 mins to sit Brails. I'd b moving Chad to 14 n Moyza (when he decides he wants to play) to 6 n bringing Hunt n Talakai into the 17...s..t needs to change

I've been avoiding Townsend bashing but geez he was bog average even by his low standard
It really is quite funny. If this were another team we would be pissing ourselves
