In our well-justified praise of Ryley Smith, there is a big thing being missed: his ability to read the game and footy IQ.

"Would Da Silva want to start at some point? Who is to say Smith wont look at PNG who will use him 80mins everyweek? That is the concern if there is one."

Knights played well. Not brilliant, but very well. Refs had a shocker. But we lot regardless of the refs. The brains went out the window and as soon as we lost control of the game we gave up and never got it back.
I don't mind a loss, but it's the way we lose that stings. That was a "I give up" performance for much of the second half and showed none of the toughness we showed against the Dogs and none of the pressure we showed against Brisbane.
There are two ways this can be taken:
1) The boys can have a sook and blame the refs or whatever or
2) We can take this as a wakeup call. If we want to be a proper contender side from now and in future seasons we need to play 80 minutes every single week and we can have zero lapses. Not one. And when we do we need to come down on ourselves hard.
We've got our chance to finish this season strongly and we've just made it that much harder for ourselves now. We must rise to this challenge because every loss from here on in is massively unacceptable. This is the business end of the season, it's time we started treating it like that.

I seriously doubt we can progress much further than 7th and 8th and out week one .
Can't blame the Ref for our 14 errors
Can't blame the Ref for our 1st 10 mins
Can't blame the Ref for our lack of enthusiasm
