Great first 20 minutes - we at least have something to take out of this weekend which is more than we could say about the previous three weeks.
If we'd taken our opportunities we probably would have won that game 13+. It was inevitable that the Dogs were going to hit back when they got some...
Yeah they wanted Sunday afternoon. We farewelled Petero 5 years ago anyway - on a Sunday if I remember correctly. I got a shitty thank you t-shirt that frayed the first time I put it in the washing machine *sighs*.
Can't hurt to put Norman at fullback. His confidence has been well down in the halves so maybe he can rediscover it with a bit more time and space at the back.
From the footage I've seen they work on a lot of specific set plays at training. IMO that's a big part of our problem at the moment: we're just far too structured and predictable and when the plays don't work we don't have a plan B. Not to mention our second phase play is probably the worst it's...
This has to be the low point of the season. We sucked last week but at least we didn't have the comical plays of today. Those things only happen when you've hit rock bottom and we're clearly there.
No idea what the answer is. Is it too late in the year to mess drastically with the line up...
Great post. We're definitely not building during our attacking sets of 6. It's deal with the current play and nothing more.
My thoughts are that Griffen will persevere with the current halves as long as he can before we get down to absolutely having to win to stay in the 8. When that moment...
Yep. Which is why I don't see things changing any time soon. We've been found out the last two weeks against teams in the bottom half of the 8. Imagine how we'll go between rounds 23-25? I'm already dreading that patch.
I thought last week was the nadir of our season? Boy was I wrong. I know we had a whole bunch of makeshift players out of position but our defence was non-existent. That last ten minutes of the first half was stupefying.
The whole team (those that are fit enough to take the field) have got...
That's the only game I've seen where there's absolutely no positives - nothing at all we can take from it. An absolutely dreadful performance. 3-4 forward passes said the commentators? We deadset threw 5-6 throughout the whole game. Norman and his ball runners (when he did decide to pass) were...
Completely comfortable with the decision to punt Gagai. He was far too comfortable here and it showed with his lax attitude. He's going great guns now and while you couldn't have predicted the loss of our left side backs we've got good coverage in Maranta and Whitchurch. The Gagai move has...
Re: Griffen's contract to be extended
meh it's important in the sense that Griffen would have been head-hunted by other clubs looking to shore up their head-coaching positions post-2013 if his contract was yet to be finalised here. The last thing we need is a potential bidding war for his...

I love it. Arguably our best resigning in years.
