Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 2914890, member: 8814"] Here goes... it's taken me a few days to bring myself to think like this but....The positives from the game: 1. Lodges debut. He made errors but he played around 60 minutes, hit hard, ball played ok and had a decent motor. He will improve as well, especially considering the week he had 2. Roberts. His attack is just lethal and hasn't changed 3. Isaako. He looks a first grader and then some 4. Sua. Not a great game, although coming on in the last 10 mins with the game lost he didn't have a chance anyway, but hear me out here. He has all the hallmarks of a great hit man/bodyguard. 5. It is round 1! People jumping off the top of buildings while yelling "brisbane are done!" would do well to look back at our 2015, 2006 and 2000 1st round results. 2015 and 2006 we put in worse performances then last night and lost by more from memory. The Sydney media is very influential in how much emphasis we put into one performance (unless it's one of their teams of course) 6. Any pressure that was on us (1/100 journalists has us in our top 8) is now officially off of us from everyone except for us (the fans of the team). I see a lot of suggestions thrown around by people on here but there's one I think that will change everything: an ATTITUDE change. Bird will make a big difference here but the senior players should be leading the young fellas, not waiting for a 4th season players to lift them in this area. McGuire and Gillett normally do but the other night they were way off. Boyds attitude has been terrible since his injury-he has to make a decision, is he worried about his own body or is he more worried about the team? As a captain it should be an easy decision. I'll give him 2-3 more weeks of performances that poor before I start getting the voodoo doll out. Milford is in the same boat, people are forgetting that he is coming back from a serious shoulder operation (the same bird will but bird seems mentally tougher, although I expect the same slow start from him). He wasn't terrible last year, he is just a playmaker that needs a dominant team to play off-great playmakers dominate the game even with a poorly performing team around them, he needs to make this jump & he needs to toughen up attitude and body-wise. We won't beat the cowboys but if we put in a good performance we will get some confidence from it. That's all we need, effort! All in all, the sky isn't falling (yet). They just need to listen to their own comments they continuously keep saying to the media "No more excuses" And put a bloody premiership trophy on that 7th stand!!! [/QUOTE]
