Anyway, further evidence as to why we're nowhere near a contender.

We held onto the ball and our forwards got to work, the second half we went away from SJ and stuck with Chad and didn’t come up with points BUT have to remeber both our centres were out

Absolutely but at least at the moment we are beating the riff raff down the bottom, hoping the broncos get pressured into massive changes next week.

It's our defence mate, not good enough.
And when the heats on we thrn into a blithering mess, mistakes galore. Zero composure.

After Wood's try, we fell apart. We stopped using SJ and ran with the same predictable bomb on the 5th.

How can you say that when the rooster beat the warriors by 8 and we won by 36?

Lol not sure if serious.
You'd think Kyle would put more points on the Warriors than Chad.

It just shows that teams lift
We can score points with the best of them
The way the game is going that is important

In all honesty, Dufty was their only threat, he switched it in against twice now. He is their only actual attacking weapon, and he seemed to really enjoy putting or defence under the pump.

Controversy central regarding the William's try. Both bunker refs have been dropped for the wrong call.

First 50 minutes of this game we killed it. I know they scored first but we overcame that and piled on the pressure and points.
After that I truly don’t know what happened. I know we lost Ramien but not sure if that contributed. It did seem like we went Chad’s side more that SJs in the second half. Chad wasn’t terrible but he didn’t really give us the X factor SJ did in the first half. I didn’t count them but all he seemed to do on the fifth when he got it was put up a bomb. One thing I’ll say about Chad is you can’t fault his effort. He definitely puts in 100%. Unfortunately his execution is at 5%. He doesn’t have the spark, he doesn’t play what’s in front of him, he just does not frighten the defence or pose them any threat.
Our big boppers were enormous. I gave Hunt and Rudolf my points over SJ because I just think their impact brought us back into the contest and gave SJ the space to weave his magic. BHU was strong, Wilton did well, Wade’s getting close to his best and Talakai was a handful as usual. Woodsy certainly deserved his try.
I think HB mentioned earlier that it’s our defence that counts us out of being a top six team. Totally agree with that. When the Dragons had the ball inside our twenty I was just waiting for them to score. At times we look brilliant, but there’s always a tackle or two each set when we drop off Tackles and leave holes. Until we fix that, we’re nowhere near those top teams.
Moving on to next week, let’s hope our injuries aren’t too bad and we can keep the misery going for the Broncos.

What a game! It takes us 15-20 to find our rhythm but once we did we were pretty tough to stop during that middle part of the game. How we let them back into the game too easily I'll never know. The bunker have been dropped after our 1st try "blunder" but Ramien gets robbed of 1 aswell so they've got to get over it! A win is win & I'll take any win especially over the Dragons!

Well - not an hour - on slowing it down , Dufty wins the race , watching it live I thought Williams got a hand in there at the same time .
Dufty did not blow up nearly enough at the time which is surprising because he appears to be a very angry man ..
Kinda funny how plenty of people cuts strips off the bunker for taking so long then they try make a quick decision when they thought they had it figured out and were wrong and get lashed again.
Obviously taking a lot of time and still getting it wrong is a massive **** up and deserves to get drilled for that, but you need to either cop letting them go through all the angles at different speeds OR that there will be some errors if they try to get it done nice and quick
