Every team that has rushed up on our team we’ve had no answer for, teams are going to figure it out and we don’t have an answer for it
Yep so far.

Remember though that Fitz is totally rebuilding our whole game, both defence and attack.

There was an interesting interview with Trent Robinson about a month ago and he was asked about the Roosters not so good attack. He basically replied stating that they are focusing on different parts of the game and attack isn't a priority until the second half of the season.

What I took from that was you can't get everything clicking at once.

Even listening to Fitz over the past few weeks I think even he is surprised of our start to the season and I don't believe he bought into all the hype of our team.

Looked wrecked by half time. Was like they all had gastro or something. I think the storm game really taxed us then manlys right edge was so woeful that it masked where we were at physically.

Needed to dig into the middle and not try and spead it every friggin play. The spreads were clunky and shut down with ease. Finicane will tighten up the middle but where does wade fit into our team now? Hunt was good and needs more game time.

Yep, agreed.

Odd how out LH attack can change so quickly from a Ferrari Dino to a Datto 200b - with obligatory faded headlights & peeling vinyl roof.

I can only imagine how much thinking Fitz will do in coming days, it’s so many things we were down on tonight.
With his raspy voice he doesn’t strike me as someone who has a large voice to vent, it’s time like these he may need a megaphone to get his message across loud & clear 😀

Get Gal to run into the changing rooms screaming at everyone then take over the training session. Should sort things out

Sorry guys but that was an absolute shocker, once again trying to score on every play, they had to learn how to calm down a bit but they wouldn't do it. The key is to build pressure but we built absolutely no pressure at all. Broncos defended very well & we couldn't handle it but our defence had a shocker themselves ironically. They often got out of their 10 with an easy break & an easy offload or 2.

The loss we needed to have
There’s losses & then there’s losses,

Raiders game, first game, we come out of the blocks slow, got ourselves back in the game & clocked off with a few minutes to go

Storm game, as much as the score line got away from us there were still positives to look on, we made lots of line breaks, busted them open across the park, high completions, just didn’t play out the 80

Broncos game, absolute nightmare, where do you start to address where we went wrong, almost bloody everywhere

Broncos fans will just have to hope now they don't go into all their games with that "Oh, this will be too easy" attitude, especially Reynolds & Staggs against the teams below them.
