Our outside backs DON'T support the ball carrier. We have this supposed monster pack, and our backs are no where within cooeee of the ball carrier ever. Enter BMoz who does just that, and hey presto 3 tries in 2 games.
Fullbacks are usually behind play in the middle of the field, wingers aren't and you don't want them to be

How the **** were they depleted anyway? They lost semi.. Sandow was off for 15 mins which is when they scored all their points and choc was off for 20 mins. ****ing idiots
They had Paulo on the bench. Could have moved Norman or Sandow to fullback and move Hoppa to the wing/centre.
No excuse to have Mau there and complain about not having anyone to cover.

Plus, the injuries were accidents. It wasnt like someone was hit head high for a concussion.

No, we arent.
I think BMoz, Rona, JMoz, Lafai and Mbye would support that statement.

I was suspicious that Sam Perrett was too slow and wouldn't handle the right wing possie. What he did against Parra last night reminded me of Hazem El Masri; in the right place at the right time and those two tries he scored wern't lucky, he wanted them.

Quite slow, and clumbsy in attack, it has to be said.

Rarely do I see a fluid, deep running play

I'm pumped BMoz and Rona are here. They've added a lot of pace and athleticism

Even our "set plays" and back line shifts are slow and lethargic. Dont know why every other team stands deep and we continue to stand as flat as my science teachers chest.

this thread is the proof nothing has changed in last 3 years, infact we have gone worst.

When you:
  • Can't score more than 14 points in 80 mins
  • Can't score more than 4 points in the first 40 mins (!!!)
  • We have scored more than 1 try in the first half only twice this year and that was in round 2 & 3
  • Last game we scored a try in the first half was vs Cronulla and that was Lee who has been sent to NSW Cup
  • We had enough possession to kill off Parra in 2nd half but couldn't do that
You're the slowest and shittest team in the comp

We haven't had an out and out flier since Michael Lett.

Barba and J Moz were quick in 2012

Note:

The thread is almost 3 year old and the point is that our problems are still the same, actually we have gone backwards from where we were.

Slow between the ears is the biggest problem. Our halves have to stop and think what to do when they get the ball. Other halves are thinking two plays ahead.
i agree, our halves and hooker don't have a clue.
i'd say they're dumb as a door post, but i think the door post probably looks a bit smarter at this point
