This is it I think.
After a bad loss (in that no team should lose when up 16-0) with a young team and a new coach working on how to play together and two huge profile matches coming up.
How we perform vs the Dogs and Dragons on ANZAC day, both on the national stage will, I think, determine our season.
It's still very early and obviously if we drop both games there is still a long time for us to make the finals but with finals like atmosphere and intensity this litmus test will tell us if we are contenders or also rans.
Robbo has some work to do ensuring we hold early possession and don't tire ourselves out putting our line under pressure and tackling up a storm early.
If we stop coughing up the ball in the first 15 and just play the possession and field position game we saw last night that when we get near the line we have the cattle to get us over it.
Big, big test coming up and I'm bloody excited. In my opinion we need to go 2/2 here and if we're sitting on 10 points after 7 rounds it puts us in good stead with rep footy coming up.
GO EASTS!
