There is absolutely no excuses why we shouldn’t be able to play that well for more then 30 minutes. None at all. They know they can do it and now they NEED to stop taking the piss and do it for around 80.



First half was an embarrassment. A top notch second half doesn’t change that. It’s actually more frustrating seeing what they’re capable of and perplexing why they can’t do it more often.

Were you worried mate?

We know Dugan could do the job at Fullback. I'd like to see if Kennedy is up to it.

Dugan can’t ballplay so our attack might suffer because of it where as Kennedy can and can do it well but it is a big ask

We’ll lose a lot without Moylan at the back. That’s a huge blow.

Unfortunately I missed the game again but I recorded it to watch again next few days, good scoreline but obviously one of our halves were poor again, 20 points in a half last week, over 30 this week, we should think about that positively, if we keep 2 halves consistently imagine what scoreline we could blow out with. It's frustrating I'll accept that but at least we are getting points in 1 half & seem to be clicking relatively well. a lot of the teams are the same as us aswell anyway at this stage.

If we got SJ due to Val leaving then that was a massive upgrade. Val was a good finisher but SJ is a finished peoduct. Im calling it now. WE WILL WIN THE COMP THIS YEAR.

The ground up there looked ****house, players were getting stuck in it everywhere. Their second try could be put down to Feki getting stuck in the ground, quite like Brett Morris did when he was injured at Manly. I think someone asked Morris about the conditions out there in the post game and he just said it was slippery. Couldn’t help but think the question was more about the ground, rather than the weather

it's a tough one cause Val is younger than SJ and was just starting to come into his own at FB and developing his ball playing skills and creating opportunities he was more to us than just a finisher. his defense still sucked though.
it's a better balanced spine with SJ in the halves and Moylan at the back though and a more dangerous one in terms of creating opportunities.

our kicking game is heaps better with SJ there as well.

we still have rust but their are some positive signs for sure, I mean when was the last time we put big margins on teams in consecutive weeks? we have more points in us this year but our defense is still good.

havn't played quality teams yet though so too early to declare the comp as ours haha. we will see more issues in this team and its performances pop up throughout season which we will need to handle and address but coach JMO seems to be able to adapt to issues and implement fixes quickly. Flanno would let things fester for months

In your head, rent free
Dugan has looked good this year but it's a Great opportunity to give Kennedy a crack. I reckon he will do well.

Dugan has looked great at Centre. Kennedy hasnt had a great start to the year so probably best to get Xerri a debut whilst we can

Not sure about that. Moylan has been very average this year.

You cant be serious?
He was our best player the first 2 games
