Our game management is poor , especially late in a game and tonight was poor . How many times are we going to try and have aforward crash over when we are close to the line .
I also think some players are believing their own press .
And tonight i finally accept that Talakai isn't a center .

Our mid fwds are players coming back from injuries or dont usually play big minutes😅thats why we lack impact or intensity. Chuck a ball player on the bench that can play in the middle atleast

Not saying it was Braileys fault, but we should start using the two dummy half system while its early. Brailey needs a break, and we need some spark or impact in the middle off the bench, give Mcinnis, Berrell or Atkinson a shot
We have absolutely no creativity through the middle of the ruck,

You put a starling, a Mahoney, Cook obviously a Grant and we are a very different team through the middle with the ball

Even those top dummy halves get breathers. We have a dummy half who is not at that level yet and plays the whole 80 🤦‍♂️

You have Brailey playing 80 minutes behind a beaten pack that gives up free metres. He is asked to tackle all day (52 tackles tonight, 2nd highest in the game).

Not saying Brailey couldn’t do better, but replacing Brailey isn’t the answer.

Brailey missed tackles leading to tries very early. He needs to improve his defence.

Like most games we lose, it was because of our poor discipline and errors

When we held on the ball and both hunt and uele were on we were all over them

Doesnt happen enough and we have zero time to amount any sort of pressure
This sums us up.

When we finally get down there we can put points on. Problem is more than half the game we are either dropping the ball or giving away penalties so we never get down there.

We stop that garbage and we can actually beat these teams. Our goal line D needs some work too

If I remember correctly he didn’t miss that tackle he just didn’t stop him scoring. I think Kaufusi pushed up to fast thinking Starling would I go deep and that opened up a gap between him and Blayke that isolated the big runner onto Blayke with help to far away to stop the try

Clearly you are the worst judge on this page.

Kennedy, Moylan and Trindall are as good as it gets. The problems we have are lame centres and piss weak forwards.

Talakai back to left edge back row, where he can get the ball more and run over halfbacks.

Give Iro left centre, atleast he makes metres and is hard to put down, also has speed.

Give no.14 to someone that can play dummy half so Brailey gets a breather. Wilton on the bench to bring energy and some impact. Drop the mid fwds who have the least match fitness and play with jets to get more playing minutes there.

1.Kennedy
2.Katoa
3.Ramien
4.Iro
5.Mulitalo
6.Moylan
7.Trindall/Hynes
8.Rudolf
9.Brailey
10.Kaufusi
11.Nikora
12.Talakai
13.Finucane
14.Atkinson
15.Mcinnis
16.Hunt/Uele
17.Wilton


Please forward to Fitz, thank you

I just come from saying Wilton was one of our best to this

And you doubled down by suggesting Iro should play because he makes meter’s and is hard to put down, like Talakai isn’t one of the league leading centres for this
