Listened to the Fins Up podcast last night. Lots of good discussions about how mediocre we are at the moment, and how our forwards are just not cutting it. Have to say I agree.
Looking at the game last week, a mate of mine and myself noticed just how slow we were coming off our line, no matter where the play was. Whereas the Broncos always seemed to be in our face. This was especially so in the first 10-15 minutes. Only penalties and set restarts got us anywhere near their 20.
Finucane is turning out to be a real disappointment. He can't seem to play for more than 30 minutes in total and looks totally gassed out there way too soon. Wade Graham is a shadow of the player he used to be and is stopping guys like Tommy and Jesse C playing more minutes or playing at all. The only reason I can see Fitz having them on there is that they are experienced. But it is not helping our go forward.
It's a familiar story across the board, but when your forwards don't fire, your playmaker is going to find it so much harder and we saw that with Nicho last Saturday.
Playing Melbourne in Melbourne could not have come at a worse time but it also might be the catalyst to give ourselves another kick up the bum and realise that games need to be won rather than just expecting the two points will just fall into our lap.
