Also, Don Young needs to straighten up his carries. Kept going sideways and was pushed back because of it.

You could tell in the first 10 min the team was lethargic and not up for it
the forwards got dominated
the Halves were horrible - Keary especially
the backs average
should be bought Whyte into the game earlier and longer and b smith as well back on the 2md half!
Only positive was we played so bad but still got to 3 tries all - let’s hope all the crap got out this week
s smith should be at 6 with Watson coming onto 14 which is exciting
hopefully b smith can take suaali spot soon as well!
1-2 people on the edge with selections might spark a better performance next week

Very poor ball handling cost us dearly and coupled with Toddy Smith the souths man smashing us with 5th tackle 6 agains and penalties we did well to keep it as close as we did.I thought the positive to come out of the game was our defence under constant pressure.
I much prefer Billy Smith over Suaalii at left centre and Nat starting with Watson in the 14. My biggest fear this year is that jwh has gone the extra year to break records and will limit minutes of May and Whyte who look stronger and faster.
Big one next week against the neighbours and we need to improve immensely in the fundamentals to get the win.

Summed up well, the halves can't get any rhythm under the pressure they were under today

Pretty tough to make any impact when Todd allowed them to slow the play the ball, with limited opportunities to run with one marker he put a dent in their defensive line when he ran. Sandon Smith is too small to defend in the middle of the ruck and Watson is much stronger defensively .
Struggling to find any impact like he did at the Storm because they were more settled in the halves and he could wait for his moment .

Like many have commented so far, not our day... uncharacteristic errors, drop balls, pushing passes, compounded by extra defensive sets... no flow in our game, energy sapped by errors & 6 agains... Manly a bit more clinical & held the ball better... the Turbo brothers were in everything & I thought Olakau'atu a real threat, Their middles beat us to the punch. Brooks has a new lease of life by the looks, the change has been good for him... but the game was still there for the taking. We will be better... because no one knows more than the group itself, that they are better than what was shown today, & they will demand it of themselves. Moving on from RD2 & the Vegas hangover.
