Message: [QUOTE="Matheos, post: 3017174, member: 8607"] I swear these blokes are going to give me a cardiac arrest! I still cannot believe what an absolute trainwreck that final 10 minutes was, on both sides of the ball... Few key points I observed from last night's game (and the season on a whole to some extent): [LIST] [*]Biggest disappointment of the night was definitely McC. It has been years since I have seen a hooker in the NRL consistently take the wrong option and offer no threat to the opposition. His passing is also horrific. I'm especially referring to the first half, where we were pounding their line - passes to our players' feet, lollipop balls to any first receiver standing more than 6m from the play the ball. Not to mention his constant desire to pass from an upright position because he doesn't have the ability for quick service - putting our attackers under pressure as they are faced with less time to work with. [*]Boyd's abilities have seriously deteriorated over the past 18 months. It is a sad sight to see. One thing I won't fault tonight is his effort and commitment amongst criticism all week. He charged forward off the first kick chase of the night and made the tackle on Mbye which was pleasing to see. But he needs to move from FB immediately. [*]Has is an absolute superstar. A true beacon in our go forward and for a player so young, his energy and commitment, especially on defence was phenomenal. Also showed a great temperament and maturity (for eg: slowed up his play the ball when we were on the back foot to ensure he didn't make an error) [*]Halves are not good enough as a combination at this level (which we all knew). [*]Our forwards played quite well with the exception of some ill-discipline and uncharacteristic errors from Lodge. [*]Our error count is still ridiculous [*]Are we going to learn to hold onto the ball over the line? 4 bombed tries in 3 games in a row. Was the difference against St George and last night. Really should've been 14 or 20 nil on the 30th minute. [*]Carrigan has the presence on field like he is a natural leader. His style reminds me of a Jake Trbojevic and would suit the no.13 jersey IMO long term. Why did he get so little minutes when he is a point of difference to all the other forwards we had on our rotation? [*]I'd be dropping Offa to the bench when TPJ is back. He isn't the same as he was last year and needs a rocket from Seibold [/LIST] Overall I am disheartened and need to see some fight and desire from these players who are pulling on our proud jersey and representing our club. This alongside with poor discipline & execution are our main issues at present. [/QUOTE]
