Disappointed with the loss tonight but can everyone just stop copying and pasting there comments from last year coz if you've actually paid attention to the game there has been a change in structure. Mbye and Reynolds were at first receiver 10x more than last year and hoppa was chiming in out the back. We have to realise the game was played in poor conditions it's not all doom and gloom we went down by 6 to the grand finalists

 

[Moedogg]

Oh please......can't you see we just don't have the roster to compete. We need to get rid of the coach and start recruiting. Our halves can't kick...

Yeah and we had 80% of the ball for the whole of the second half and got absolutely nothing !

I'm not satisfied that the purported change in structure is significant enough. Our forwards are still at first receiver and plodman is dying with the ball on the 4th. We have not built any combinations. Our most threatening players in attack were Brenko Lee and Holland, both are NSW cup grade at other clubs. Our halves did not look like organising anything with purpose. It was all hail mary plays.

Fuck the coach off and clean out the roster. Build the club around Jackson, Klemmer, Kasiano and RFM.

Melbourne were camped down our end most of the first half too. It was pretty poor conditions to be putting on a clinic in attack

No one was expecting a clinic but that much ball you simple have to do something.

Yeah our roster isn't the best but people rambling on saying nothing's changed when our attack was noticeably different and we played in very wet conditions are overreacting a touch

 

[_G-Dog_]

I agree with the OP but im convinced we are no chance with Mbye & Reynolds together in the halves

 

[Cavedog]

Move Morris back to fullback

I agree with 100%
We need time to implement a new structure
But everyone expects perfection from the very start on the kennel
Like I said on another thread how stupid will we look as supporters bitching and moaning before the game is over and then we go 4-1 in our first five games or even 3-2

 

[Apercots]

Move Morris back to fullback

the same morris who didnt want to catch the ball?

Yeah Moses 10x to much waste of space

100%
you can clearly see what we are trying to do, issue is we are stuck between the old outdated plan and the new plan. Some players looked lost and that was evident in the lack of support on some breaks and half breaks. Positive signs but still very very sloppy and erratic, with a genuine halfback we win easy tonight. The Kasiano sin bin was detrimental as well, could well have tied the game heading into the 2nd half. I still don't think we are top 8 material but even though it was incredibly frustrating and disappointing to watch at least there were some changes.

 

[Chris Harding]

Not a disastrous result, considering; but there wasn't a time when I felt we would score. It was 2016 again for most of the game. I think there is a platform to build on - the kicking games were probably the difference.

What's the point when they still produce fuck all in attack? Do you honestly think 1 pre season with a "new" game plan will rectify the last 4-5 years of shit?

 

[Dingo]

Even with a slight adjustment, our spine is still weak.

We bombed 3 trys from drop balls weather played a big part plus Melbourne had the ball all first half before the rain.

people might hate the idea but we gotta move Lichaa to lock... After what i witnessed tonight i want our 17 next week to be;

1. Hopoate (reluctantly)
2. B.Morris (help Brenko in defense abit)
3. Lee
4. J.Morris
5. Montoya
6. Mbye
7. Frawley
8. Graham
9. Reynolds
10. Klemmer
11. Jackson
12. Mariner (outclassed Eastwood in every aspect, deserves to start, put Greg on the bench where he belongs, better for impact in later stages)
13. Lichaa (tackling bag, shove him hear and save some interchanges. Will allow Klemmer to go back to prop, which = less time for Tolman)

14. Tolman
15. Kasiano
16. Eastwood
17. Woolford (what the point of having 4 forwards on the bench when Des clearly wont change the way he uses his bench the idiot)

Thank you!!

Amongst the doom and gloom of tonights result common sense prevails in your post.

It was clear that changes have been made, but the time to try new things is not when it's pissing down rain.

I'm excited to see what we can do on a dry track.

Melbourne were camped down our end most of the first half too. It was pretty poor conditions to be putting on a clinic in attack

The thing that saved us then was the gale force rain the Storm had in their faces. They would have played with their eyes closed... well almost.
