Agree with most of what you saidThere was some good and some bad things to the game.
Good.
Our kicking game was vastly improved.
We have an organizer.
The players seemed more confident to throw the ball around.
We now have someone at fullback that seems keen to get involved heavily in attack.
Bad.
Some of the defensive lapses to me highlight the fact that a few of the inexperienced forwards we've promoted could need plenty of work.
We're still being penalized unfairly (look at the penalty for taking out their kick chaser who clearly ran into our own players).
There are still handling issues with the team.
Our support play needs to improve a lot.
Overall I think we saw mainly positive signs, but a 22 point loss is still not the ideal way to start the season. If we have more than a few losses of this magnitude this season it could mean that we miss the finals if the middle of the table is congested.
But the inexperienced forwards (whomever you referring to) weren’t responsible for the miss tackles that led to tries in fact it was our experienced skipper.
Handling issues too which I thought was worked on off season. We completed for 70% and gave up 36 points which is very in Des like lol
Ps we lose by 18
