Honestly get our hopes up all summer not that I was too confident, to then end the week worse than Newcastle and the Tigers lol

Remind me what they were doing this off season

we were by FAR the worst team in the comp which is most disappointing. we are so far off pace it’s actually incredibly laughable. i hope it was just an off day and next week we bounce back

It's the WAY we played not the result that is the red flag. What I'd do for a good fullback and half, let alone some good props. When Max King was your only decent forward that gave a toss there's a huge problem.

The fact Reed stood out so much, and he was great, is because of how poor many of our other players were. We saw it in the trials also, we were getting beaten up and resorted to trying to slow the ruck. I know we're light in the middle but there has to be a fitness issue as well, even though we've heard all off season about how hard they have apparently trained.

Lots of cultural history, sharing of feelings n vulnerabilities, listening to ex players tell them how good they were back in the day. If only they had time to learn to kick off, run straight, count tackles, toughen up. May be that's what they do that this week now that the feelings stuff has been sorted.

Yeah forgot Reed and I did feel King was our best player but that's a huge issue, You ideally want King to be a solid rotation prop we have him as a starter!

Sutton did what he could I suppose but he's a long way off being a player who can get us any decent momentum

To be fair, our fitness levels have been atrocious for a few years now.

It'll take more than one off-season to fix that mess.

Yeah fair. I just feel we missed the trick. Now why didn't we go after Niccolls who has size and a good reason the Dolphins had go forward
