One obviois weakness

[The Corner Post]

We are lacking in middle men, our current prop rotation just isnt there yet (give it a season or two with these bench props).

Add to that, Rads got binned at a crucial time.

Add to that further, our two best 2nd rowers are out.

Add one more thing, why was Allan on the bench, i dont think he even played a minute.

If we go forward in the middle, we stand a chance out wide. But tonight we just get run over.

[Rooster_6]

Disagree, middles are not the issue and weren't the issue tonight.

To your last point if we go forward in the middle we would of stood a chance tonight, I agree with you there. But every time we got some ascendency through the middle we went straight to our edges. Suicidal footy in wet weather.

Lodge back into our middle rotation with JWH & Lindsay makes a huge difference. Also when Egan moves back to the bench and plays through the middle that is where he is most effective with fast leg speed and playing fewer minutes

All good constructive criticism. But you cannot win against any team with 39 percent completion rate.

Lodge, Tupouniua, Gus, Connor Watson, Brown all yet to return. Have faith. Jeez everyone loves complaining after a loss

Yes of course you’re right… way too light up front presently… and the Butcher boys are less than average

We just got flogged by a side that is rebuilding and nowhere near full strength… maybe Trent can only win with a full deck?

Yes 41% possession and 61% set completion rates won't cut the mustard against quality sides or any side for that matter

Last week against Parra 51% possession and 85% set completion rate including 100% set completions in the second half - 19/19

No Coincidence the losses have been when they have had less than 50% possession and completion rates under 70% - the losses last year were for those same reasons

Something the coaching staff needs to address as they can complete sets at a high percentage rate if they put their minds to it.

Dolphins - 44% possession - 68% (24/35) set completions
Warriors - 54% - 82% (39/47) set completions
Souths - 53% possession - 76 % (30/39) set completions
Parramatta - 51% possession - 85% (34/40) set completions
Storm - 41% possession - 61% (21/34) set completions

wasn't just a loss, it was the way we lost.

Maybe cause Radley plays like an extra half so the ball goes wider more than it needs to.

And that is the key right there. They should train with a ball covered in soap.

[Vasco]

The last few years we have actually controlled the ball better in the wet than in dry conditions. Last night was pathetic.

At full strength you'd almost be tempted to start Crichton at lock because he'll run hard and can offload with Sitili and Nat on the edges and bring Rads off the bench after 25min to play out the game.

No you wouldn't lol

[Water boy]

Rads will look good in an ESL jersey, ideally sooner than later.
