I think when its wet and we're not likely to get second phase play we need to play a simplified game. Instead, we've got four halves out there and nobody knows who to take control.
Whatever you say about KK he has enough confidence to run the show in that situation and in that type of wet night I think we would have been better served just to one bloke at the centre of the action. On a night like tonight if you're going to keep those four you'd even be better served with Robson 7 Humble 6 KK 9 and Morts 14.
We needed a much better running game out of dummy half so you'd get that as well.
I think its important to keep in mind though, that what doesn't work in wet, slippery conditions, can work on a dry night where we have good second phase play.
Honestly, there is no point necking yourselves after a game in those conditions.

Mortgage Parramatta stadium if you have to, we need to sign Cooper Cronk.
the 6 - 4 score line wasn't a reflection of great defence, it was a reflection of DISGRACEFUL attack. we could bounce back and beat the broncos next week and all may be forgiven, but fact remains until we have halves who can create points, we are never gonna be consistant and be a real threat in the competition.
I don't think its the creation of points that is so much the problem as taking control. We need one of them to step up and say give the f&$cking ball to me, I'm the man. The problem is we're directionless.
I hated him at fullback but he is a great winger but not a yardage winger.... I'm ahppy with his game... but..... you simply don;t go for 2 if you can't kick the frickin ball dead... simple!!!
He will kick 6 out of 6 at parra when we are flogging someone but he missed 2 crucial kicks last night - can happen but just an observation.
I am not saying he never kicks those 'clutch' goals but I'd wager his record isn't as good as most other long term kickers.
