The round 1 experiment failed, try another combo.

We should sign Hayne on min wage and get him in the 1 jersey.

That’s the only way we will beat para based on last weeks performance.

I’m all for giving them another shot at it. They’ll all be wanting to redeem themselves. If we lose again then next week changes will be made.

If so, Pay must be going with the Christchurch excuse for the shocker. Okay then if anyone should know it's him.

Happy enough to restart the season against Parra to see if the team is really that bad or if they had a really bad day.

If playing our arch enemy can't bring out the best in us then things have to change immediately.

I’m happy to give the team 1 more chance. Changes need to be made if they play the same as round 1.

I'm scared to watch.

Play with some fucking heart and intent PLEASE.

I hope pay reunites Smith and Holland on the right. We turned the right side into s strength by last seasons end.
We where always good with the mozzes playing left.
This year we weakened both sides.
Opposition now has 2 toll free motorways to our tryline.

Not surprised. Everyone, even our good players, looked tired, lazy and played average or worse. It would be unfair to single one or two players out and drop them after that performance. You'd have to drop 6 or 7... I do think we need changes in the coming weeks though. A couple areas of concern to me;
1) Our inability to make yards returning the ball from kicks on tackles 1 and 2. Crichton is no Utai and then Montoya, holland and smith just get gobbled up as well. A lot of the time we had only made 10 metres by the 3rd tackle. Its not good enough and it contributed to our negative attitude towards playing attacking football. We did not get any penalties either, unlike last year where the refs would piggy back you up the field.. We might need to bite the bullet and give Okunbor a run purely for this purpose alone.
2) Our kicking game was well short of where it needs to be. We took the wrong option a lot of the time and a few of the ones that resulted in 7 tackle sets resulted in tries for the Warriors. I think Foran and Lewis are good enough to address this.
3) Our bench rotation. Too many players that are the same sort of player. I like Elliott but he is just a poor mans Jackson. I'd replace him with Smith or Martin and then shuffle the backrow to accomodate the new lock. JMK offers nothing from the bench which is a shame because Lichaa offers nothing on the field. Pick one and give the bench spot to Ogden.

I'm positive Sunday will be a complete 180 degree performance. I just hope it is enough to win. Go the Dogs!
