Message: [QUOTE="something, post: 3129399, member: 8835"] After 2 days i can reflect on the game with a clear head. I think its good we lost this game the way we did. Reason being - complacency. We arent going to challenge for the premiership this year. 2021 we should aim for top 4 and 2022 is the year. If we won this game against a 'top 4' team, our young team could easily have gone back to thinking their shit dont stank. If they are true about 'legacy building' they need losses like this to highlight that no game is easy, and just because a team played poorly for 40 - doesnt mean theyll play poorly the next 40. We will learn A LOT more from this loss than we would have a win. No individual really played that poorly. Even Joffa helf his own defensively, and he was most peoples worst on ground. It was a team loss. Learn to lose together, hurt together, rebuild together. We start from the bottom (roosters) and we never go that low again. A lot of people are blaming the refs... and i agree, something is wrong. I used to ref, so i understand a few of the nuances... but for the best in the business theyre incredibly inconsistent. I also think Seibs and the bronx should highlight this at some stage. We should stop respecting NSWRL as they dont respect us. Its not just us either, every team gets hard calls... except the roosters, the storm, and whichever team the system wants to win - which this year, is parra. That has to change. On to the positives. Staggs and Coates give them time together and that will be a very very good right edge. Oates transition to second row was seamless, good on him. In a full strength side he will be the perfect sub. Paix's runs out of dummy half were great and well timed. Croft was making right decisions, execution slightly off. Boyd had his best half in ages... but still, id rather see him gone. Forwards all did their job in attack. The primary issue is crumbling under pressure. When the heat is on, we get burnt. This will come with time and experience. Long road ahead guys, keep big picture focus rather than game by game. [/QUOTE]
