When Pearce returns!

[ROC181]

Do you pine for your ex's like this? He's gone. Let it go.

Oh I'll remember every time we lose due to our poor kickers. It's not their fault, just management...

I'd be looking no further ahead than the next game ATM. I'd spend the time until Pearce returns nutting out how they feel they should play and understanding what they think they can offer. I'm tempted to play Pearce at lock and organising the team giving SoH & Niko front row seats.

I'd stick with Copley on what I've seen so far. He needs to own that centre position particularly in defence and not be the one plugging the gaps. Bennett used him up as a fill in and I don't think he's ever really felt comfortable. If Robbo can fix that we'll have a star on our hands and he'll have a few people he'll want to prove wrong.

What attributes from Copley have you seen that suggests he's capable of being a star? He lacks lateral agility, top end pace, size or power to play back row, botched a try through poor handling and has been caught out in defence quite a few times in two games. Certainly not blaming him for the two losses but he's nothing more than a temporary player.

No chance.

Maybe yes maybe no.

I would be completely shocked if that happened.

Pearce is too small for the current role of lock. Maybe he could build up for it.....

It's clear now that Pearce is our MVP followed closely by JWH.

If we can win half of our games before they return we are blessed. The rest will take care of itself.

So, how about this weather the eastern seaboard has been experiencing. It's been like summer around here of late. If this is the result of global warming, I'm all for it.

Just do it.

We'll be lucky to be 2 and 6.

We were also lucky that the Raiders couldn't ice a number of their sets.

If we improved, it was only by a small margin. The big difference between rounds 1 and 2 was our opposition.

I think there was definitely improvement. If napa hadn't thrown it away by getting placed on report I'd day the forwards improved immensely. But agree that Canberra were nowhere near as clinical as souths. We didn't play well and it took a try and conversion just before the siren for them to get us. Hopefully next week we improve again and are in a position to win against manly.

I tend to disagree. We were the dominant team for huge parts of the game. Just couldn't turn dominance into points. We gifted them all their tries. It's the goal line defence that is the biggest worry... we should have been out of site, probably would've been had someone contested that crappy bomb (and second bounce) they put up.

In part. But don't discount the fact that the team is on the improve,

The weather is very disorganised , despite being around a very long time.
I've been relying on the weather to fill the tanks, but it's let me down time and time again.
We need a new weather pattern , and a bit of patience.

We need a leg up?
