We win at full strength + poor roster management

Let's look at it defensively:

- the first try Asi missed a tackle. DB would never miss that.

- the second try Sivo would not jam in like that idiot Blake

- DB would have slides instead of Asi who came in and created the overlap. Plus the pass was forward 

- 4th try Joe O wouldn't be on the field for that long at full strength. RCG or paulo would be on the field and not stopped sliding and drink water wouldnt score

Attaxk

- you would back Sivo to score one of the tries that Blake bombed. Blake dropped two opportunities and that didn't even try steam rolling Valemi 

- DB running game and passing is so much better than asi.I am sure that with the offloads we had DB would have scored or set up a try. 

now the club are paying for the poor roster management they have.
-hands struggles to attack of offloads and has a shit running game because he is not an 80min hooker. club didn't get any depth at the start of the season. Had two injury prone hookers and an hooker who hadn't played nrl game yet. Lussick can't come quick enough


- we don't have halves depth as we let JA go. We only have Asi

- our fullbaxk depth is just russel and Simmo. Russel had never played fullback in the nrl and was playing wing in reserve grade the previous year. So we had no depth at fullback

- our winger depth is waqa and dunster. The club knows Dunster would struggle this year given his injury. Blake is so poop. So the club seriously didn't give themselves any quality depth 

- centre. Our depth is Blake who has been a shit ass at centre for eels. The club seriously have this depth quality is atrocious. 

our shit depth is shows by our reserve grade team getting smashed every werk

  • RCG, Paulo, Lane, Matto, Cartwright, Hopgood, Grieg, Lussick, Ogden and Moretti is a pretty good pack. We just need to get them on all at once 

  • I agree, and it's our own fault. There was no excuse for RCG to go the knees and brown to go the grope. Matterson to go the suspension instead of the fine. Those players have let the team down this year

  • bring back Jake arthur!

    • No way. Asi is a much better player than JA. Just need to hang on, win a game here and there until we get back Greig and Brown. Both will make huge impact to our attack and defence. Greig was massive for our go forward before he got injured. Let's hope his fitness hasn't gone too backwards while off injured.

      Unfortunately cant do much with our wing depth, Sivo has been shit anyway. Maybe give Lume lume a go.

  • We are 12-18 month away from good depth with sc ball lads. 
    I agree mate as soon as asi let that try in I thought brown would make that trackle.

    I thought the lads really gave it their all. We definitely are on the back foot now of making the 8 

    • thats if they don't get poached.

  • well we wernt at full strength we keep shooting ourselves in the foot time and time again

    At full strength we have still blown games.

    We will miss the 8 because we deserve to.

    Our club has zero depth and no quality talent coming through. 

    Recruitment and retention have screwed this team we got only Hopgood as a quality signing no one is coming next year and our reserve grade is down the bottom of the table getting pumped week in week out. 

    • We will make the 8.

    • We have talent coming through 

  • At full strength we are a top 4 side. Let's just hope the stars align and we slip into the 8 and some players start returning. We had some serious momentum going on prior to origin ripping shit out of things. The team that beat South's were a premiership winning team.
