Paea, FPN & Koops... Newtown is thataway ---}

[Guest]

we're just not up to it

lacking badly at 9

forwards don't get enough yards or quick play the balls, and in defence are too exposed by teams with a good 9

very few offloads

very little penetration out wide

Carney is so wasted at fullback it's unbelievable. Play Anasta somewhere else if you must, but just get Carney to 6

his spark and the questions he constantly asks of defences would contribute so may positives, in so many areas

Dragons (along with the Storm) are the best team in the comp at the moment. We are not at their standard at this point - but we were never going to be.

We will, however win a bunch of games this year and I am confident we will make the eight. Far better than last year.

I didn't see any of that spark when he was going across field all game. I thought our backs as one unit let us down today.

that's because he isn't a fullback

he gets few chances in the line in the normal 6 role, but when he does, it's so obvious he must be there all the time

[Guest]

Koups urgency in defence was shocking especially on Priddis's try. I also think Graham's size isn't helping us in attack, has good defence and speed but to easily taken to ground against the bigger centres in the game

Actually I thought he got the ball in very bad positions today. The defence got to him too quickly (poorly timed passing or just offside from the Scum) to really do anything.

I was talking about when he was playing in the line. He was playing too lateraly today.

He was caught out of position today pretty badly, but that will get better with time.

Fittler and Johns raised good points re Carney having to run kicks back, if he was 5/8th he would have to go through at least 3 times the work as most forwards would be running at him.

Today was fine, once our hooking options are settled and forward rotation fixed we will go well this season.

true, we are better than last year

we'd be better still if he was at 6

I thought Paea and FPN were both solid, their runs are getting stronger each week tho they are still shadowed by Ryles and JWH, both who i think should start next week with Paea abd FPN off the bench. And Myles was once again being Myles

Well played Chooks. Yeah we didn't get the points.
The commitment was there. As far as I am concerned, it is not a case of FPN or Anasta, or Koups who didn't stand up, The commitment was there from ALL.

The knockers on this site will blame a few, but our team as a whole produced today, the best we can.

I will not sit on my lonely computer, and bag my boys, who as far as I am concerned really had a go.

They are the benchmark, we, at this stage are the also rans.

I sat with my Bronco mates in Brisbane, and had pride in our jersey today.

To all those who will sit on there keyboard and cast judgment, about OUR team. Wake up to yourselves. This year we are commited, a team on the up, and to me, I am proud of the of what we are doing.

Yeah, what he said!

[Guest]

Yeah, what he said!

Thankyou. A few beers under the belt, but all in all that first half was one of the best I have seen, all season by any team.

[Juggler]

Agreed. Thought they played quite well. Was Anasta's best game this year. SKD was strong in defence. Coconuts are getting better cause it's getting cooler - they only took 2 tackles to get back onside today. We just are not an 80 minute team yet.

Dragons have excellent defence - they don't let you get away with much.

Have not seen replay. Thought Archer had a goodish game - Saints got away with holding down more than us.

Looking forward to the Oki Chokie though...

PS. Can't help but think that it's all Bennett's fault tho!

[Guest]

FPN takes 77 minutes to fire up!!

JWH, Ryles & Brunton had us in a strong position manning up in the the middle.. These other 3 come on & offer ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!

How did you rate SKcarnts performance today ?

[stephenj]

symonds must be close to returning we do miss cherro big time! wernt we supposed to be signing a mid season prop last week?

[Juggler]

OOPS.

SKD average at best. Actually looked at stats. Not good. ordinary.

[stephenj]

had a chat with jake back at the club tonight, apparently we still havent registered him with the nrl. he seems very tight with carney? hes busting to play though!
