Yep show whether that extension was the right call or week 2 of the finals is good enough for this club. The **** we're dishing up coming into the business end of the season is alarming.
Glad I didn't see the end of that one. Defences ate rushing up and tackling us in numbers and it shutting down our second phase too. I've said it before, our Achilles heel is we're too often rubbish without a quick play the ball in attack. When we were winning we unpredictably and we need to get back to that. Have to get our second phase back.
Teams have figured out how to beat us and do it comfortably. There are so many flaws in our team/game ATM and I honestly think the rabbits will dust us up next week as well. I think we may win one more game leading into the finals and I don't think we can do much good coming off a 1/6 record at the back end of the year.

Souths big forwards are going to be put to put some bruises on us next week as well. Not sure jsl is going to be our man going forward.
I thought he was alright. I'd keep him on the bench in Gal's absence and add Capewell if Feki is out.

Some robbo like kicking on the last tackle tonight. Just putting up **** bombs with little chance of a result. Wtf was that kick that maloney just hammered over the dead ball line on about the 3rd tackle in the first half all about ffs

The lack of composure is alarming.

Unfortunately the writing has been on the wall for some time now, our forwards are being man handled we have not dominated the rucks for a long time now and as a result our backs think time has been cut way back. This has also had a big impact on our kicking game.
Having a lighter pack and not enough fairdinkum Props eventually has to take its toll.

The cramped defensive line and allowing so much second phase play is a killer

I remember lewy giving away a ruck penalty and us getting one, but would have to be the lest I've seen blown in any game all year.

The lack of structure, inability to secure repeat sets with decent grubber kicks instead of useless ineffective high balls, and a pathetic defence are also very alarming.
Our wheels have fallen off for the last six weeks but the lucky wins had papered over the cracks.
Now the losses have exposed those cracks for what they are.
Ugly it is.

We have got by with being a prop short until now.
Leutele back to left centre for Beale.
Very hard to win an NRL game with one penalty in the first 70 mins. And that was a deliberately given away one right on their line.
Ref Sutton spends so much time talking to his assistant about Ennis and Fifita, it is impossible to think it is not pre conceived.
Despite that, we were not good enough.

They were killing us with offloads from the first set.

spreading the ball early was catching us out as well, compressed defense got exposed a lot tonight
