I think our winning streak covered up areas that were problems. We had a lot of close calls in that winning streak and the last 3-4 wins of that streak were very bad wins. Thankful for those wins tho

Some more big bodies would help. Piss Fifita off and get someone else in, and sign some other solid forwards. We are lacking there.

I think our 2nd row/prop hybrid bench is the biggest issue. Very agile but probably dont absorb as much in defence and allow an extra few metres. We also arent wrapping up the ball and teams r offloading at will. Then theres a pile of missed tackles also

Well embarrassing but not the end of the world, hurts to lose here but the Merge were very good, teams are lifting to play us, clearly.

I'd look at dropping Beale out for awhile, need to work on attack in oppo 20, just can't score from there, everything's long distance atm. If I see yet another cut out backline play to Barba sweeping on the right I'll know for sure Flanno is a lemon.

Still plenty of footy to be played, let's hope we fix up the defence before the finals.
