True Sinners, the free kick was there, so were others both ways!

The bottom line is that we should have never been in the position where that free kick was critical, if we need to rely on things like that we are [REDACTED] as a side, and another thing just in case I haven't mentioned it Lucas and Hampson are liabilities and have to go.

Sinners, I 100% agree with you re Lucas, but Watson, I'd like to give the kid a block of games starting next week and see how he goes, others have been given the opportunity and some have taken it and others found wanting, you may be right about Watson after all, but lets at least have a decent look at the kid.

Funny I made the same comment, shut your mouth and have a @#$%&! crack, by the way did I say that he is soft and needs to go.

I want to see Watson get a block of games also.

Can't wait! He's what now? Third year?

Baby still..... We won't know if he is any good till he's played ten in a row.


I'm betting he is in the rubbish bin pretty soon though.

Another gun recruit.!

Sorry, he has no heart, and no commitment, would rather play a Buckley or anyone (does anyone know what Anthony Franchina is doing at the moment) than Lucas, has had his opportunity and doesn't seem to want it.

Just looking at some of the stats and noticed that the Captain and Vice Captain did not have a tackle between them. Mmmm.

Now that i am less emotional, i can assess the game

By a country mile, our biggest weakness is the lack of genuine key forward
Currently we are too predictable. Even in the third when we changed games style and stopped bombing it forward, we could not convert forward 50 entries. Get this right, without impacting the kp defensive posts and we become more flexible and this then becomes harder to coach against.

We showed we play different styles, which is a massive improvement on previous regime. But 3 rucks is not the way to manufacture tall forward.

Still hold on to my asertion, waite cost us this game. But longer term our list is devoid of quailty kp players and that is the biggesr single issue.

There is no doubt that we were witches hats for the first 3 quarters, what really grinds my gears is that we were able to get our shit together in the last quarter, which tells me that we paid no respect to the opposition and thought we just had to turn up to win, not good enough.

Would not have been the worst last night

Hey Jenx, what about the bloke you have as your avatar, he'd still be a walk up start in that side, and would show a few what putting your body on the line for the team is about.

Henderson was effective because the opposition hadnt had time to work out how to play on him as a forward. Lets not get carried away here. He MAY be a great forward but until he has played 5-6 games there and dominated then the jury is out.
That said, if he played in the forward line with waite, then hampson becomes a real handfull as the third tall. This elevates hampsons usefulness as a forward, as the opposition couldnt double team the three of them. With the 3 talls firing the 3 amigos become all the more dangerous.
That of course leaves a big hole in the back line. Didnt see the game but could kreuzer be schooled into being a defender? He is quick agile and can run all day eg with a reiwoldt. If he can bolster the backline like henderson has done then we have the forward and backline covered.
This just leaves our pea hearted midfield to be fixed. Get it done Captain. I think it is now obvious that warnock is our best ruckman. He is able to deliver to our midfield, which sets up our set plays etc against most opposing rucks. What we then need is the mids to deliver on their potential despite being tagged. No more rushed disposal out of clearances leading to turnovers and costly goals when the heat is on. At the moment they are being out manoeuvred by the opposition mids.

And to cap off a dirty night, Betts can accept 3 matches for rough conduct.

Eddie Betts can accept 3 matches for rough conduct on Nathan Wright.Incident classified negligent, severe impact (broken jaw), high contact.

Last year round 4 derailed our season.
