Are you only ranking a win as good if it was a blow out score? Cos if so you will be a very disappointed fan.

Hardly, but good 80 minutes performances have been few and far between. Down on key players or not (Barba, Ennis), it all boils down to attitude... which has been lacking too often.

Defensively we have had plenty of 80 minute performances, even with bad discipline we had the best defensive record going to this round. Yeah we've been scrappy with the ball but we've more often than not found a way to win.

:No: We've had defensive lapses since the start of the season. Although we have often conceded first points or trailed at half-time, I had total confidence that we would find a way to win from behind.
That ability to find a way to win has disappeared since our piss poor performance against the Titans. Hopefully, Jimmy's return can shift the team's attitude.

You talkin about 4 rounds ago?
We won our two games after the titans loss. Last night was the 1st loss since then.

Mate u arent going to win every game with a shut out. Conceeding a few tries isnt a sign of being bad defensively. We were averaging like 2 tries conceeded per game til now. The defensive lapses are effort not ability. The tries we conceed so often come on the back of silly penalties or errors.
With our defensive ability, if we respected possession more and had more discipline without possession we'd win most games no worries.
Our attack is the problem though, it seems our plan is cut out ball to lewy or wade and hope they do something with it.

Based on last night - 2017 is gone
A few things:
Beale struggles
Feki is great close to the line 10 m out but a crap defender
Bird is in Disneyland
I've always said Townsend is crap and last night proved it - cannot play with Maloney and only showed form at warriors cause of Johnson
Heino is over it - he needs to retire
Nu is not a first grader

I think Seggy's defensive capabilities were exposed last night also. Looking forward to Brailey coming back as he is a much better defender in my opinion. Seggy is best coming from the bench, coming on when the opposition forwards tire. I think he has great attacking potential for us, but didn't show too much last night when given the chance.

Every time I noticed seggy last night it was due to him missing a tackle, just chq stats only had 5 swear looked like 10.. our missed tackle stats are appalling for last nite chad 5 Grantham and bird 4 a piece, laughed when feki had zero obviously not touching your man doesn't count.

half those points are obvious and you shouldn't have needed last night to relise and the other half are just untrue
