Positives:
Jack Bird - Great debut
Valentine Holmes - Great game. Started to go looking for the ball.
NSW cup - two games in a row. Murhpy scores again, not sure how good he was, but I expect he was probably one of our best
David Fifita - Great game, until a late dropped ball, but that happens.
Matt Prior - Solid game. No errors, good offload and I think he may have actually got more than 20 mins.
Gallen and Fifita - I think they tightened up their games in the last two weeks. A.Fifita still gives away a silly penalty, but I don't think he has dropped the ball in the last two games. Gal seems to have pulled back from the play making.
New Sponser - Back of Jersey sponsor is a step in the right direction.
Negatives:
Take the two - Come on boys. Do you really have that little confidence in your ability? We would have won that game easily if we had attacked the line instead of taking the two every time. I think there was only one time that I would have taken it.
Ball playing forwards - Tis confusion!! Too many forwards who think they are ball players, but maybe that is a result of no confidence in your halves.
Multiple decoys running into the same gap - How many times did we see two sharks players run into each other???
Mind numbingly dumb errors - Tupou do not try and offload the ball on your own 30m line when you are in front. Do not ever offload in your own half. Wade Graham....oh god that was soul crushing.
Structure in attack - No one seems to know what their roll is.
Jeff Robson - Is not a first grade quality half. He may be an ok hooker. He may even go alright at 5/8 next to a good half, but if this guy is controlling our team, we will get the spoon. I will start the campaign today. BRING IN MURHPY. He was the second best player in QLD cup last year, what more can he get from playing NSW cup. We keep looking for a halfback to buy, maybe we have him.
I could keep going with the negatives, but I think that is probably enough. I want to try and focus on the top part.
