Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2610016, member: 1847"] I wan't angry at last night's performance, except that of the refs, just disappointed after last week's game, and agree with what BP and Porthoz say in particular. It looked to me that the events of this week really showed how much it affected the players: There was little focus, shape, structure and the 5th tackle options. As for the forwards, our pack is good enough for the side to be competitive against any other provided the defence is effective and fast moving as it was v Warriors, and we use our edges and backline creatively and with purpose. There was little of that last night. For mine our forwards main task is to not to keep driving up the middle as much as they do, turning the ball inside and funnelling the shape of our movement always back inside and up the middle. It looked like that was the easy option 'cos no one was really interested in creating options and playing to our strengths which are our edges and backline. Hunt in particular was disappointing. It looked like he was just switched off, and Macca was so slow all night. The offloading was almost non-existent. The team played without head or heart. Next week's game will be telling. It will tell whether this team gives a damn about this season, or if it's given up and is waiting for the messiah. [/QUOTE]
