These rules of physics are undeniable and hold true for almost any team sport
- a good big team will most likely beat a good small team
- a fast team will most likely beat a slow team
- a team who controls the ball will most likely beat a team that does not
So what have we dished up the past two weeks - a small slow team that does not control the ball, no wonder we have lost and lost badly!

Meh... we beat Souths and Manly. Fact 4 - it's largely about the mental state of the players
I’ve called my mate Brian, but he told me there’s nothing he can help with ’til he’s finished his garbage run at about lunchtime tomorrow. Is that ok?
The difference in those two wins was we controlled the ball and aggressive in defence. Unfortunately in the losses our handling and ball control was terrible, this is not something new, its been going on for over 4 years now.
"Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple." Bill Shankly. Easily applicable to rugby league.
The team that plays as a team, with the most WILL, will most likely succeed.
