Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2446733, member: 2221"] I took a deliberate time out before writing anything when I came home from the game. The problem is that I am still absolutely filthy at the refs, and will be even more at Hook, if he doesn't do what seems to be working just fine for others... Complain about the refs loudly, and you won't get screwed over next week. We didn't, and got done double! :cursing: Actually, that exactly and literally what I would want him to say! Now for the game. I thought we were the better team, despite a pretty crappy 20 first minutes of the second half, but we didn't get the bounce of the ball (second Waqa try and Cronk try), and as mentioned above, even if the ball does bounce, the video ref will consider it benefit of the doubt against the Broncos. Still we're on the up, and there are good signs coming from a team down on confidence. The cons: - Thaiday as captain. Sorry, but he needs to be sacked from the job. He's just too gentle mannered... - The Bench usage. Simply flabbergasted at what happened today, and has been happening for a while now, with the way Hook uses the bench. Don't take all your experienced forwards out at the same time and leave the already in a fragile state of mind youngsters in there! Capewell for a whole 5 minutes, really? - Hoffman on the wing at the expense of Maranta. Didn't Hook see Bellyache rub his hands in satisfaction ahead of the game? The pros: - Norman at fullback. Not only the improvement to our attack, but the very surprising defensive effort and great positioning surprised me. - Hunt, despite that dropped ball that cost us the game, got involved, made decisions, took the burden off Wallace's back, and as a result the team greatly improved. - Hodges, the return of the legend? - Gillett, only missed one tackle, got heavily involved in defense and didn't try anything flashy. Just getting back on track with his footy hopefully! - Civo and particularly Hannant are so far ahead of the rest, that Civo's retirement worries me. Hopefully Hala will gives up the depth we need alongside McGuire and Dodds/Anderson. - Te'o, another big loss for next season I'm afraid, and another purchase in Rusty's incessant quest to get the holy grail. But that isn't a topic for this thread... In summary, the defense is improving, the attack is improving, hopefully the injured are returning soon, and we'll go to Manly and give it to them and everyone else that gets in our path to the 7th premiership! :thumbup1: [/QUOTE]
