Right… come let’s both do the same kind of activity in that heat and see how we do.
i have a feeling that you’ll be in the floor within 10 mins or probably less. I used to work and train in that type of heat for many of yrs, it saps you big time mentally, physically and emotionally

braliey, and Williams arent they juniors?

that game was poor from both sides and the heat was a major factor.

It wasn't that ****en hot & they had to play the same conditions

 

[Capital_Shark]

My biggest concern is we don't even look to consider repeat sets when nothing is on. If someone does try what looks like it, it looks entirely unplanned & untrained for.

We spend good chunks of time & effort getting in good-ball then decide its try or nothing and need to start again where we get the ball back after a set of D if it doesn't work.

A few repeat sets on Raiders last night we win easy. Need to control possession and apply pressure. We almost won off the repeat opportunities they gave us, imagine if we create & control our own.

If we were a team that is big on kick chase we could’ve got a couple repeat sets

A number of Trindalls kicks landed right on their tryline

Genuinely asking.

At what point do we expect the coach to make changes to address awful individual defensive decisions? I don't think you overhaul a system after 3 rounds (few more if you count the end of last year). I also don't think we are yet at the stage of dropping players, but we can't be too far off it. We are in a run of conceding 20 points+, particularly against good sides.

If we concede another 40 over the next two weeks do we ring the alarm bells?

What changes can you make to address individual defensive decisions long-term other than dropping the player?

The weather excuse is bullshit cause Raiders turned up.

 

[Milkshark]

3rd round in
35 bloody degree heat today

it’s not time to get the knifes out for fitz
the team scored and defended well when we were down to 12 men just remember that

But they played the same way in the night games.

Exactly. After the **** we’ve dished out these first 3 weeks, I am very nervous that extending this bloke for as long as we have could come back to really bite us in the ass.

Drop him to reggies for a couple weeks to straighten him up I reckon

Should have flicked Flanno when he was having a bad stretch.....

This thread is a scary place

 

[snowman]

his bench rotations suck and his defensive structure on our line is shocking

 

[Sparkles]

We don't have huge glaring issues really. I'd like to hear how we're planning on stopping Moyza being isolated on our line, and Blayke was making a bit too much first contact on his own. Outside of that I think we're looking at good as anyone.

Line defence is definitely a big issue.

Bring back Lewie

the albert hopoate try is glaring. 5th tackle, compressed and katoa is 6m infield

you dont have enough time to turn and chase that far out

Yep not his fault, he had to come in.

to be honest we have had the same issue for years - our wingers keep coming in.

Lol

Are you that ****ing stupid, deadset.
