Agreed. But why is not being addressed? Given, subject to the Storm and Newcastle outcome) we have the best defence in the NRL, imagine how good we could be if we got that in order!!
I for one am usually positive but that was hard to watch, the more the game went on the more I was getting depressed! If we don't use that and the manly game as wake up calls we will get trounced come finals
It wasn't pretty Benny but is was a wain against a traditional rival that always give us a hard game nevertheless. In days of old we lose that game.
What is obvious is it's time to give Waqa a spell and a crash course in defence. It pains me to say it but bring in Takka to tighten up the leaky edge.
Brad will not be happy, rather than playing direct in the second half when we had the running we played sideways and became easy to read. That is easy rectified.
The game went exactly how I thought it would go. We always play to their scrappy level. However, leading 18-0 on adry track we should have spaced them. IMO Dylan BROWN is way off form. Maybe the long season, the niggling injuries but he ran for 50 metres and gave us no attacking options. Reed is a tackling machine and everyone is now well aware of teh 20 metre pass and crash balls to the front rowers. WE need to have a utility option for him either side of half time. Maybe Rankin is next cab of teh rank. Ex 5/8 in super league. Very average today though.
We are finding ways to win these games, which is what we need to do. We will need to lift at the pointy end, but that is still some time away. In the mean time, we just need to be collecting the 2 points. Simple as that.
"Yeah ok, there's something very intriguing with Da Silva that doesn't add up, he looks like a superbly skilled athlete who for the most part doesn't quite fit in or is just going through the motions. I suspect he has a lot more to offer."
"TDS is the Russell of today. Everyone wanted Russell out of the squad a few years ago. But with constant first grade look at the player we are now losing. TDS will eventually be a quality hooker, he is in his second season, fresh, straight out of SG…"
"Da Silva has more potential, better and quicker runner. Smith doesn't really have a weakness in his game. TDS is more flashy but Smith does the little things right. Sometimes that's all you need.
Ryles probably likes the 2 Hooker system but also he…"
Wouldn't be suprised if the announcement comes in the coming weeks.Postive sign is it frees up a lot of cash and finally good riddance.Cant keep overpaying a player that can't even crack first grade.His times up by the looks of it now:

The right edge has been a issue for weeks and it just gets worse.

Not our best performance by far. Our last 3 games do not compare to our form in the opening rounds. The positive is we won despite our shitness.
If all games were played at BWS we would probably win the competition.....
Agree 200%. Any team with a bit of a brain would just attack our right side. Free points. We need to learn how to attack on the oppositions 10.
