Injuries and suspension.

At the start of the year, our attack was good enough to win games like tonight because of our pack.

We had tolman and graham as a very solid start. Then kasiano and browne in for more impact, then we had Reynolds spark off the back of that. With that pack we win tonight.

Our p8ss weak and small bench plus our missing x factor is the reason for that sh8t. Hope we can reclaim form once we have a more stable team.

Other teams have the same issues with injury and suspension,
That's no excuse, our boys really need to aim up a little more,
Defence is an attitude, we are concealing soft points,
Our attack needs to improve, we seem lost in opposition 20 and have done for a while now,
That's our main area to work on,
We are solid up the guts of the field,
Silly penalties are also costing us

Why do play Mbye in the centres but play a second rower as 5/8?

Surely Mbye is better option at 5/8!!

I thought our defence was much better this week. That second try could not be helped. We had the possession and position to win and we couldn't capitalize.

we've had poor attacking options in opposing teams field even since 2012, we win games by defense these days not attack but we
seem lost in defense as well

Lack of enthusiasm.
Lack of confidence.
Lack of commitment.
Lack of imagination
Lack of simple ball handling.
Lack of backing up a break.
Lack of movement with the ball.
Lack of speed.
Lack of ball security.

We play as if we are fulfilling the terms of our contract in order to get paid each week. Hunger to win is not important. Losing doesn't seem to worry them; they just go home and get ready for next week's pay packet.

As supporters we're bombarded with club material promoting loyalty and passion. About time some of it was returned.

Here's a reason - no game breaker.
look what Thurston did to us tonight. He put that kick through for a try which made Mitch Brown look like a half tard. He did the same to Thompson with that cut out pass. I watched Jarryd Hayne destroy the Titans in the second half.
injuries and suspensions yes. But we have no game break
no game breaker, no title.

Yes. We need an X-factor.

We have the potential with T-Rex - he is big, fast, has a good set of hands and can put through delicate kicks. He should be developed into a hard running support player feeding off our forwards. But it also requires everyone in the side to be moving up in support, ready for a short pass or backing-up a line break. Are we just not fit enough to run for the full 80 minutes? Every side we play can do it.

The attack is way to structured, and every team in the comp knows that structure.. the key attacking player in the modern game is the hooker and our hooker pedestrian, one dimensional, predictable and so slow. There is probably a hundred other reasons but they are the biggest problems..

I bet they do but they aren't being used like that, we need some old school game plans once in a while when our "fancy" shit doesn't work lol

Honestly, why can't we play Mbye at fullback, but Perret back in the wing where he belongs and put Reni in 5/8th keep T. rex running hard at the line from the edges.

Des doesn't like playing players in position, haven't you figured that out yet?

Our attack is so ****ing sideways it's not funny.

You can't score points going left to right to left to right to left.
