Love BA... but....

My only constructive criticism is that with our small forward pack we need to have a game plan that suits. Today in the heat we should of won 50 0. We needed to play an upbeat expansive game with plenty of offloads.our faster forwards need to run the bigger packs off their feet. The only consideration here is are we fitter enough to do this? This should be the same in defense. Why can’t our mobile pack keep teams out. Again are we fitter enough.

Confidence is shot from the halves. Honestly our marker defence is rubbish and when we get 5-6 repeat sets we do the same play 1 out hit ups for mannah who has no offload nor alvaro.

Today I saw zero attitude adjustment and made stupid mistakes in the ruck and dropped ball on the 1st tackle or getting taken out to touch on early tackle count. When I look at our team I cant see bevan making the tough tackles the 1% ers are non existent. there is no pack mentality and hunting to hurt the other players. Getting beaten in every facet today by manly.

How can we win when the halves play with zero confidence or effort and 10 mins in the bin again... really where is the control. I dont know I really hope we come up with a better team selection with forwards and backs. Right now we are the worst team in the comp hands down.

Great summary mate. Norman is playing terribly at moment . No intent , no heart , no passion . Moses is frustrated and it shows . Even Brown is off. There is no platform to work off.

But we all know Arthur won’t change the side and certainly won’t promote a kid like stone

"Same, Kurupt. Whatever the outcome, Jim, Beach, Ryles and the club stood united and stood their ground when they were meant to roll over for the Storm and PLV, discreetly. Moses SC has also been brilliant."
