What we relied on for the first half of the season does not work anymore as other teams are becoming fitter. Last few games we tired out before the opposition.

So now that fitness has leveled, it exposes our flaws IE attack and discipline.

We need CC and Gus to do something to stop this form slump we are in.

Anyone else notice this?

You make some valid points, but as the year goes on we are getting fitter also. Our style, up and in very quickly, yes can tire us out but I think we are fit enough to handle it if we stick to the game plan.

We are tiring out because of our poor ball handling and making it harder for ourselves and defending more sets than needed especially stupid erros in our own half when we should be completingour sets and gettingdown field. We are our own worst enemies tiring ourselves out.

It’s just errors, we just keep getting on the back foot and fatigued due to stupid mistakes.

You both make good points but I guess the main question is are we fatigued from the errors or are the errors making us fatigued.

Probably a case for both.

But my main point is we can't rely on fitness anymore and it's exposing a major flaw which is attack.

Ive never seen so many dropped balls.

Curran is either injured or just not there anymore, becuase the shit I saw from him yesterday Ive never seen him do last year

His blue print is midgets playing as middles. And when one is unavailable he brings in turnip. Can’t believe hopoi has been named 3 weeks in a row and misses out to the turnip. Should have started with Hayward and figured the rest out with hopoi, Todd, Morrin, Curren. But his game plan of having 2-3 smaller middles back fired when the quality isn’t as high as Mann or Hayward.

He makes wholesale changes on the edges yet flat out refuses to rotate our middles and play with an extra big boy or two lol.

Almost 30 minute to make a sub last night because why? Not like he used them later in the game. I said it @ HT but the opportunity was there to put the game our of reach with a change or toe while we were on-top and he didn't take it.

Yeah the errors are making us fatigued. Last night it happened after half time 15 minutes break. That's my opinion anyway

Yep it's ridiculous. Hopoi should have played, could have even started him ffs, then bring Hughes on while we were on top. Got me fucked how he fixes that issue. Will be even more of a problem when Salmon returns and occupies #13 or bench

TBH I thought our fitness was good, it’s our Mental that’s really fallen off.

I mean they threw nothing at us all night we had them on every corner and they score their first try on the counter with 20minutes to go and our wheels literally fell of like wtf.

Losing to the broncos is one thing, losing how we did, Letting in 4 tries in the final 20 is disgraceful. Flashbacks of 2022/2023
 
I think once we get a team that is settled, not chopped and changed or tested with experiments weekly we will get back into a groove

I expect the coaching staff to be alittle tougher moving forward now too

Yeah CC needs to stop that shit too, we can't leave a player the whole game on the bench either, he is also killing some players who play the whole 80 in the forwards who don't need too...

I know I've said it a few times now, but the game was done the second we took the 2.

Basically told them we are done.

To be honest i expected we will have a little form slump through the origin period and it's happening. This is now on ciro to keep the boys confident on the way to the finals. We have no excuses after the cowboys game there won't be any injurys and no more rep footy. The past few weeks our second half hasn't been like the beginning of the year we went away from kicking to the corner and winning the game by grinding away. I expect it to go back to that soon. And I hope Galvin goes to Reggie's for abit to catch up on his development.
