Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2751553, member: 8215"] Yep, our season is over. We're spent. We're fucked. Is what I'd be saying if that was indicative of our full strength team. But it's no where near it. Most of us predicted exactly what happened. Missing our defensive rock in the middle, our defensive smasher on the right, and our best set-starter on the left wing. We were never going to win that game against a full-strength (besides RTS) Warriors side that not only contributed zero players to Origin but were coming off the bye. Last year we had the luxury of someone like Stagg willing to spend the season in Q Cup just so we could recall him for one cameo and have him hold the middle of the field together. We can't ask him to do that 2 years in a row. Our playmakers can't do shit while the forwards are being dominated. End of. Hunt could still come up with two Try Assists in the very few opportunities we had down the Warrior's end. Milford is trying hard but again, like Roberts, when the opposition's defence is on its toes and is not fatigued, we can't expect them to make errors or be sloppy, giving Milford those half-chances and Roberts some space. Similarly, dropping balls left and right, making dumb shit errors like Maranta did all night, and having zero ruck control meant the Warriors had every right to steamroll us. Next week, not only should Oates not make (as many at least) stupid errors, but he'll get our sets off to a flying start. Gillett will smack the living shitfuck out of whatever half decides to run near him. Thaiday will be back on the bench and think himself lucky to even play limited minutes closer to the middle, where he can't be exposed as the lazy grinning **** that he is. We'll still be a bit loose in the middle until Macca is back, but hopefully Bennett learns his lesson and plays Waddell there, which will be better that exposing Nikorima to big minutes or compromising our props by playing a less experienced player there instead of McGuire.
