where we need to improve most

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

Some of you blokes are a bit harsh.

We were without our captain and at least two other back line players were out, we had two midgets on the wings, we had two back rowers in the centres, a new 5/8, a prop who looked rustier than rusty, two players over the age of 25 in the 17 and we played against a very good pack and some very questionable officiating.

It was also rnd 1 and looked pretty greasy out there.

And somehow we still pulled a flabbit out our our arse.

You could see the boys never gave in. They pushed till the fat lady belted out an LOL@Souffs.

I find it hard to be too critical of that effort. Sure we need to improve, but I reckon every coach will be thinking the same thing. At least that effort gives us something to aim at weekly and teaches the kids to never die wondering.

It's a long season and we will have to use the Carnteys, MitchMitchells and Aronas often. I say embrace those fringe players, they will prove to be the difference overall between making the 8 or not.

Perfect summation.

I think our forward were ordinary. We are already missin having an older guy in the side to lead the pack.
Perrett tries so hard but his handling and taking of bombs is so ordinary.
Carney tried hard too but he just isn't a first grader/
We will be a lot stronger with Braith and Moga in the team.
We just don't have a go to man.
I thought Mitchell Aubo was out best player. Very strong defensively.

Spot on the money Thirteen

Kennedy was very poor imo. Dominated in tackles, no leg drive and not explosive enough off the line. I understand hes had a long lay off but he was one of the most disappointing players on the field.

Off topic - but doesn't Carney look like Vin Diesel ?

Poor Kennedy should be given a medal for making his come back in such a high intense game, he should of made his comeback through NSW cup, he did well given the cirumstances. I give credit where credits due, and Souths forwards were hard and tough, they busted through the advantage line all night and pounded in defence.

[The Brain]

He would be hurting today another couple of weeks he should be back to his best.
Good thing about Kennedy he has a good head on him and very astute player.

I am pretty sure Cordner only tried the grubber once previously and the other effort was from Maubs.

Yeh, Cordner died with the ball once and put in a kick once. Maubs put in the other kick.

Braith will fix our kicking game.

Very well said. Completely agree with this.

Yeah I was a long way away. God I hate ANZ Stadium with a passion.

Considering we made the 2nd least amount of errors out of the 16 teams this week I'd say you are.

The piggy back penalties hurt us more.

Penalties, drop balls, they all hurt. And no, Im not asking too much considering more than half the games were played in driving rain. If you want to make comparisons, then do it apples for apples and not apples for oranges.
