I agree
It starts at the ruck.
Pittonet tries hard and is competitive. That's not the answer.
DeKoning is a 2nd string ruckman. He needs another 2-3 years of strength and development.
What the @#$%&! is Kreuzer doing? Was he advising him today? He got smashed by a ruck rover. Out smarted.
Dow> Where the @#$%&! are you?
Kennedy is doing well for us, but he needs wheels.
At one stage we had the cumbersome Cripps and Kennedy both in there.
The take longer than the Queen Mary to turn around. They are not nimble and mobile enough to have 2 of them in there at the same time imo.
When they have played
Cuningham
Setterfield
O’Brien
SPS
Martin
Williams
Dow
Fisher
in the midfield they hav delivered
Kennedy has been better in this area the last 6 weeks
We are talking about top 10 picks guys on big money and long contracts
That’s why we can’t win enough
Walsh gives his all but can’t get it 35 possessions a week
Cripps looks like the burden of carrying the team has taken its toll over the last few years
Miller
Anderson
Rowell
Powell
Fiorini
Ainsworth
Mc Pherson
Swallow
All played their roles
They have depth
And with Ellis going down early makes the midfield effort more damming
Add Greenwood out who is their number two inside bull missing
Holman is their designated tagged
They are a developing team with a good run with injuries will be a top 6 team in the near future
So in terms of the overall context it shows how bad our list management has been.
