I am far from happy with where we sit on the ladder,and our gun signings aren’t firing yet..
But…….there is clearly improvement
We have just played last years grand finalists the past 2 weeks,and we lost by 20 in both games..
Last year..that would have been 30+
We scored 3 tries against Souths,and could have had at least 5.
We got monstered by Melbourne,but barring a few,who doesn’t?
Manly have been formidable the last few weeks,and yet it took a field goal to finish us off AT BROOKVALE!!!
We should have beaten the Broncos,but the ref fell into a coma when it mattered.
We got lucky in the final minutes against the Cows,but we were resilient in NQ and got the points .
We are no where near a top 8 team at this point in time,but the improvement is there.
Burton is learning his craft at 6 and won’t learn it overnight…stability in his halves partner will help him a lot quicker.
JMK isn’t the choice hooker,but he has been improved over last season.
TPJ looks to have tempered his aggression..at least for now..lol
Dufty is dangerous at 1,and that’s what we need..it takes time to learn a new teams structure and when he can push up.
We just finished round 5….ROUND 5 PEOPLE!!!
If we go backwards against the Broncos next weekend,and fail to fire a shot against the Roosters,then throw the toys out of the cot.
FFS…half our team is learning to play a completely different structure to what they have been used to.
Someone said before the season started,that it could take half a season for the team to gel..might have been Gus.
These guys aren’t robots that are pre-programmed..they need to learn each week.
I still see us winning around 7-9 games by seasons end.
