Ciraldo’s mid season report

[2099Premiers]

Your eyes must be fucking painted on if you think KO as green as he is, isn’t an improvement on flange.

I haven’t seen him draw and pass once. He just passes it on before the line. His running game is ok, but he hasn’t really threatened that much. His d has been good, but so was Flano’s. can you explain to me what he has done to make us better?

Our win against Melbourne is still the slickest our attack has looked all year.

I think he is probably a player with a big future ahead of him, but really don’t think he’s made much of a difference.

Ciraldo gets a strong pass mark from me. His roster is better than we've had since Hasler was booted and we paid freight to get rid of our big names. But regardless of that he's actually improved players I'd almost lost all faith in. We still seem to have trouble building towards tries. We still have brain dead moments that kill our momentum. We still have stupid defensive lapses that hurt our chances of winning. But we don't always have the appearance that we've given up.

While the club hasn't been offering excuses for some losses, I actually think we'd be in the top 8 if referees hadn't screwed us on many occasions.

Should be 6 wins, 6 loses … most blatant ripoff of 2 points I’ve ever seen in over 50 years of watching rugby league … made even more blatant by no try obstruction calls I’ve seen since this one was allowed …

How could you put that down to refereeing incompetence when you look at where the ref is standing and how he’s bent intently watching and that it was sent up & reviewed by the bunker ?

When you look at the try we had disallowed against the Titans for "obstruction", this has to rate as one of the biggest Bunker mistakes of the century.

Thats a good point we've been screwed more times than debbie in dallas.

Ciraldo = B-
Flanno really fucked us at the startof the season due to not contributing anything except some good D, mounting more pressure on Burton and Reed.
Waddell and Ok have been good but still some major issues with attacking plays and D in our red zone (still paper thin).
One weakness is our team discipline e.g For the life of me, every game we give away multiple penalties for being in front of the kicker when Burto puts them up. It drives me MAD! Its so fucking lazy and game changing as it releases all pressure and makes us inevitably lose the arm wrestle during games. Its a shame that RFM is our club captain as he doesn't deserve his starting spot. Edwards in the last game also seemed a bit Tolman-like (slow plodding runs that get no momentum). I don't know what CC should do about our forward situation. It's bleak!
But overall i'm pretty happy with CC

Ciro gets a C from me.
With our forwards stocks decimated due to injury and lack of quality, the lack of go forwards has made average halves look worse than they really are. Due to this, we have been unable to mount much pressure in attack, and getting steamrolled in defence hasn't helped our cause either. Our first half performances have been nothing short of diabolical of late, with really leaky defence. Seems like there is poor communication and a lack of steel in the boys, however they have been able to rally and and show a bit of resilience in second halves. Our attack and defence in general is very clunky. In terms of team selections there are a few guys that don't deserve their spots like RFM and Perham to name a couple. Cam takes his time with persisting with duds.
