It really is exactly what it came down to. Our bench was not able to compete with theirs, that simple. I think Kev would be better off going back to his old philosophy of having one of his starters not start and have plodder with a weapon instead. It also just so happened that our bench came on...
That was a tough one. We did so much good work in the first half and to watch it dissolve in such short order was disappointing. I hate to say it but our rotation just isn't up to grade. Each of their tries where gifted to them on the back of errors from our second stringers. Man what I would...
It looks like the guys had their mind on the bye and staying safe for Origin. Body language was not good and they obviously thought they could blitz the Tits and walk for the rest of the game. The Titans have a decent forward pack that actually wanted the contact today where our guys didn't. To...
I think we all forget that Rikki is doing those kick chases nearly every set a full sprint, that is at least a 20m sprint at the end of every set. No wonder he doesn't seem to explode in attack. One thing he can never be accused of is being lazy, he still takes his runs. I think he a huge asset...
I hope somebody gives Cobbo some good council. Fullback is a high wear and tear position for a big man. One just needs to look at Greg, and the impact that had on his body. His knees were fried in the end and he should have returned to center, arguably retired early.
The other example of why...
I think Ezra will go down as one of the all time QLD half's. He gives me JT vibes and I mainly mean his tenacity and ability to be around the ball. He is honestly the guy I see the most untapped potential at our club, he has room for so much growth. I don't think he will be there this year but...
The thing is we as supporters may never know why Darius was going so bad or what he was battling. Where Corey would have inside knowledge and may have been viewed as piling on a down man and a club in very bad moment.
It wasn't Darius fault that essentially all but three senior players got...
Kev
Kev is the hero we needed but likey didn't deserve. The way he took the heat year one and two. While slowly building what he envisioned. He has also grown immensely as a coach and communicator. We are really blessed to have him.
The Roosters are losing a bunch of quality players all at once. There is no guarantee that they are heading into success next year. So for any player it is a risk going there and with the cost of living, getting unders to live in Sydney isn't going to cut it even with the rounds of golf and...
I think the Broncos need to start throwing their weight around. If the Roosters can get away with what they do and no one even really cares the Broncos can. We have the ability with third parties and business connections in Brisbane to get most of these across the line. Plus we have a team here...
After the last few weeks that was the type of win we needed. It didn't come easy, the majority of the game we had good completion and got to our kicks. Against the run of play we forced errors and capitalized.
A few guys obviously need a rest. Smoothy was good and it may show that running two...
This, Slater became a better weapon when he was alive around the middle of the ruck. You don't need him being available for hit ups on exit sets you want him up and about on tackle two/three on quick play the balls, off an offload or change of angle pass. Splitting defence wide open and...
I said the Roosters was our biggest game of the year and it was. It changed our season and put us in a fairly dire position. While exposing a lot of our weaknesses. But it just so happens to now make this game our most important game of the season as it will define our season going forward...
He actually said "Head to head contact, that's dangerous". So he got sent for a head clash caused by him leaving the ground. I don't really recall 100% but I think the same didn't occur for us when Reece got leveled against the Panthers and literally got a fractured/split open face.
