I need to comment, one thing that did not impress me at all tonight, it's happened so much this year aswell, what is happening with our kick off's after we score? So mich tonight after we score we give them the momentum straight back because we let the ball bounce, don't try to catch it, just hope it works out for us? They score 2-3 tries straight after we score because we let the ball bounce & doesn't work out. Even if we still regain the ball we won't gain many metres because they will have moved up a fair bit more. If the players play NRL they should be able to catch the ball on the full off kick off's, we can't show we don't have confidence to catch the ball on the full.

I hate to single out players but Kennedy was one of the main culprits of that tonight & he's the full back. If he keeps doing that & shows he doesn't have top confidence to catch a high ball then he should be out, that is one of the simple skills a full back has to have.

Has there ever been another game where a side conceded that many drop outs from kickoffs? I burst out laughing with the 3rd one and the short drop out try. Absolutely comical. Hands down one of the more ridiculous displays I've seen.

Wade most missed tackles again(5). Weird one was Ronnie zero tackles attempted, I can only assume the raiders are going to run everything at him this week, not that they to we have holes everywhere.

Whelp, 38 points conceded against the reserve graders. Now the big boys away from home next week. This will get messy....

I thought the short drop out was a good accurate kick. Nene looked like he didn't want to wait around for the ball before he streaked away though.
