We cannot win every game, we have made the semi's the past three years and the intensity required to do well in the top eight consistently is a massive effort on and off the field, the boys must be feeling it but they gotta keep going as we approach the tail end of the season, they have trained and played too hard to let it go.
Again we suffer from the SOO hangover.
why dont the broncos suffer? this is always an excuse for our failings.

they used to ,but not this year.

they are super fit, strong , energetic and play their game million miles an hour for entire 80 minutes.

We need to hire their fitness coach.

It's our attack, we cannot score points, it will get worse without rona and frank.

with James graham it got worse.
Few weeks ago were leading trys scored and linebreaks. Our attack isn't that bad. it's all attitude imo

I wouldnt say the used to, they played bad before origin they just had a shit coach. They are playing like we did in 2012, who did we sack that made us so lethargic?

The problem is Des. Our club has always worked best under emotion. Our last GF win was after the salary cap scandal and Coffs Harbour. The one before that was when half our team was leaving because of the Super League war. Des doesn't work on emotion. He works on a calculated plan and doesn't divert from that plan.

I don't think there is a motivation problem or lack of enthusiasm. They arent giving up in games or we wpuld be hammered every week. Vs sharks we came back from like 16-4 to get close so didn't give up.

I see the problem being with skills. Too many errors and no plan in attack. I have nfi why though since we are supposed to have one of the games best ever coaches.

im pretty confident we can do the business tonight.
Yh me also, Roosters rarely ever win a penalty count and surely the boys are due to hold onto the ****ing ball. Don't think any of our structure will change but we may manage to grind this one out. A few points of weakness for us would be Jenning vs Lafai, Jennings could absolutely school him and they could score plenty of points out there. Another weakness could be the defense on the left edge, Moses and Lane could potentially be defending next to each other for the first time at NRL level, throw in the loss of Rona and that only leaves us with 1/4 players out there who have played together over the last 2 weeks.
