I think we will get better as the season goes on. Parra scored the last try from our mistake.
Hopefully. We are going to need the players who've been here the last season or two to buy into what the new players are doing, because they were clearly a step above. Feels like our spot on the table at the end of the season will depend on whether the new players drag the rest of the squad up with them, or the old players drag the new players down to the mentality of the last two seasons.

I'm just gunna put this down. If you had to classify Burton as a half, its as a running half. Fck knows he couldn't organise a root in a brothel with a winning lotto ticket in his pocket.

Burton ran for 18m today. Thats roughly $5000 a metre ish. Good gig that.
Actually it was 42m

We might have the worst fullback in the comp. Can anyone point out a worse fullback???

3 - Curran. At times seemed like the only guy having a real crack.
Tbh, can't think of anyone else.
Curran stood out.
I thought Mann was getting involved as well.
Was there a reason Faamausili had so few minutes?
Maybe he should have replaced JAC - as that was where all the hit ups seem to be coming from?

Sack Ciraldo- addo carr left on/faamausili left off ‍♂
the centres and wingers doing 100% of the rucking it out of our end was so obvious and disappointing. Works when you can get an even possession and have a Brian To’o in the team but that was just lambs to the slaughter. Kiraz is the only one of the back five that suits that plan. If we are keeping that plan then get the big bodies in the back 5 next week.
1. Critta
2. Wilson
3. Xerri
4. Burton
5.Kiraz.

3-2.. That double movement.
Was there some explanation for that decision? Seemed an obvious double movement but honestly can't keep up with the rules these days.
Especially as the bunker didn't seem bothered either.

Curran is all heart. Was like that at the warriors.

The rest of these fuckers on the big money could learn a thing or two.
Yep exactly my thoughts. Our big names didn't deserve their pay cheques today. Talk about leading by example, did none of that and should be pulled aside early and given a talking to telling them to lift their standards because first round there is no reason for lacklustre performances like that because they've had 4 months pre season training and should have been biting at the bit to get out there and put on a performance. It's why they are paid the big bucks.
