Message: [QUOTE="nopatience101, post: 3496876, member: 1755"] We didn’t do a whole lot different tonight than the last month, we just didn’t get away with it tonight. I would say it’s a wake up call or a shot of reality, but every week we hear the club acknowledging the same issues and every week they go out and do the same thing. The only improvement I could spot tonight was Marty not throwing an offload. Everything else was a bit worse than last week, which was a bit worse than the week before. I have feared the wins were covering over the cracks in our game and now they are there for everyone to see. Namely, errors, failing to build any pressure, and not being able to put together a composed attacking set in the 20m. Conceding offloads are starting to become a problem again too. As for the refereeing, the penalty at the end was absurd, but I was seeing red more tonight about Atkins ignoring the earlier high shot on Reynolds only to then award the raiders one a min later that wasn’t even high. It was quite the contrast considering both players stayed down… The 10m was inconsistent too. I had hope when we came out of the sheds and had our best set of the night just hitting the ball up the middle, and later jagging a try. It was almost carbon copy from the first set after halftime against the dragons. Obviously the message is being delivered at halftime, so I don’t understand what’s happening from the first minute. We need to go back to basics and playing for field position and possession, the rest will come, but that’s the fundamental part of the game that sets you up for winning against both the easybeats and the competition heavy weights. It’s hard to fathom that we can’t or won’t force a line drop out with a kicker of Reynos quality in the side, probably doesn’t help that we don’t get to the fifth when in the 20m at least half the time I suppose.
