Brown played well, particularly considering his rookie status. He most certainly is a far better defender than Carney.

Gagan was good.

Ricky was wasted - Wade needs to keep him in mind when he makes a break - not run away from him.

Forwards were garbage for most of the game.

Robson is ... just Robson...

Oh & btw - this is why I stated my preference for Gallen & Lewis to have the week off.

Leaving aside the last half hour, Brown makes us enjoyable to watch again.

That was so disappointing.

We were leading 18 nil ffs.

Looks like those last 2 wins were flukes.

EDIT: I suppose it could be worse, at least we aren't Brasil supporters lol

We have big defensive problems. There is no hiding it. We were still cruising to victory ten minutes into the second half.
We gift sides 60- 70 meters each set. We make average footballers look like ****ing world beaters. The sooner this season ends the better. I shudder to think what will happen to us in these last games. We haven't beaten the knights at home for about 4-5 years now.makes me sick

That was woeful - Seriously our last tackle options are horrendous and Robson kicks offer nothing whatsoever. Can someone else step up do and the last tackle kicks?

We were allowing Newcastle plenty of time to work out what to do with the ball by not moving up in defence.

And if we wrap up the ball in the tackle instead of allowing them to offload all the time we'd have prevented four of those tries....

Back to our mediocre style of football already (bangs head against wall repeatedly)

And Wade Graham continues to stifle up our flank by getting in the way of our wingers and starving them of the ball (sigh)

We have some very inexperienced players, who looked for true leadership from senior players today- Sadly we had little.
