I was so looking forward to watching this game, to see where we are as a team, especially after a few good wins albeit against inferior opposition. After watching that poop we are so far away from the top teams it's embarrassing.

I don't mind losing with a fight. This team is a bunch of overpaid pretenders.

To many self preservers, the years of structured coaching, is also evident in many of our players. Time to replace those in the run on team with ""effort players". Rudolph, Talakai's(on whom ive changed my mind) and dare i say it "Sorro"types.

He'll have a word to injuries then shall he?
He made three changes to the backline for this game and he only needed to make one. One injury meant he introduced a guy who’s never played for us before, and two guys shifted positions. He had the option of bringing in Kennedy and otherwise having exactly the same team that had played well the 3 weeks prior. It was rookie coach stuff imo.

Whether you agree with them or not (as I recall it was what most people wanted) they were reactionary to injuries not unforced. ‘Make up your mind’ sounds like he’s making random switches for no reason.

I’d say overreactions to injuries. I thought they were a bad idea from the get go. My point is that Morris is prioritising putting the “best team on the park”, over cohesion and consistency. I just think that we’ve had 18 months of the side constantly changing and maybe it’s time to minimise changes. What do I know of course is a given here😜
