"Or, maybe Pezet's defense was a known problem but not the scale of it? And also that once Pezet arrived, not enough attention had been given to Pezet wanting to put himself on the radar so Broncos wouod 'see him' and the 7 jumper would be his? I…"

"We played above our weight IMO - and we hung in there; Moses also kicked for more yards than they did - this also created fatigue combined with the less errors; just look at our spine compared to them; our guys did v well and Volk and Pap both had…"

"Coryn, the Eels lack super fast centres and so, true, they don't attack from the backfield like Cowboys or Dolphins. But ensuring you make your 40 and kicking to a corner if you haven't ran 60 metres by play two is simply stock play for almost…"
"All true Coryn. My only point was that it's false to assert BT would not have developed at the Eels because the team defense sucks. As you note Moses got better and our defense wasn't great! But also, as noted, by the logic of negation Talagi should…"
"No, Talagi played FG at Eels in 2024 and announced in August 2024 he had signed with Panthers. Ryles was hired July 2024, so it's a stretch to say "Talagi left under Ryles".

"Again, Coryn, can you point to evidence of this "same style". It can't just be "similar results", as there are as many ways to lose as to win. You're 3rd paragraph is hard to understand. Are you saying the style is throw it around or that the style…"

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
