Message: [QUOTE="scgg, post: 3006387, member: 8262"] Realistically the storm should have towelled us by 40. Out coached for 1 and out played. I wrote a few weeks back about our age and experience in the middle and our experience from the bench - which is a massive concern. I thought tonight we missed McGuire severely. He never got many wraps for the shitty clean up work he did and tireless efforts both attack and defense but I think it was evident tonight with him missing especially with his quick feet and play the balls.. Gillett tried his arse off but I am not convinced at all with him in the middle. The hype around the young blokes is all good and well but the second and 3rd effort stuff is where the young lads get caught and consistency over 26 weeks will really test the young brigade. We will need to balance some experience and old bulls in the squad sooner rather than later. I think I also said su'a looked heavy and underdone in the trial and I figured he would need a few cup games. He looked terrible tonight and was in no condition for nrl. Needs a few more weeks fitness in the reggies.. The halves stunk like a 4 day old dog turd at the park. Kicking aimlessly... this has been going on for 3 and 4 years now. sideways Movement and Milford defense is frightening. These pair are still going to drive a team around the park. Headless chooks If no oates we get lapped and don't even look half a team. He was very good again tonight. Lodge tried his guts out as did Gillett and pangai looked creative. My concern with pangai is he goes so hard in offense he can get caught defensively. Risk and reward I guess. Macca is still slow and can't pass. Boyd is an absolute Muppet and offers very little. Bird looked reasonable defensively however is he going to cause the opposition any issues with his attack? You look at the storm pack and bench, mix of youth and experience and they seem to have done it again with some cheapies off the bench who can do the job required. Next week will be interesting against the more experienced cowboys pack.... [/QUOTE]
