How about last season? He’s a halfback and his clearing kicks would travel 20m. The opposition would return the ball on the first tackle close to if not in our half. I was a fan before, but in his 20 or so starting first grade appearances he has shown nothing to show me that he is a first grader
Last season he played 6 and was camped out on an edge. It's true he hasn't got a great long kicking game or even a running game, but Burton alleviates both those things.

He doesn't need to be out long term 7 but he's pretty obviously the best man for the job right now

Surely okunbor gets dropped. He needs sprint training. Deadset is running on a treadmill sometimes.

Listening to Baz in the presser he is going to pick the same 17

He even excused the try from the scrum

I missed the game live but just saw a replay.
Disappointing not getting the win -especially being the better overall side.
Still feel our problem is attack. Defence not the best but its holding up sufficiently enough.

There are good signs. Both teams improved remarkably.

We can point the finger on defensive woes but if you only score 1 and 2 tries in 2 ganes, thats your problrm right there. Conditions weren't tough yesterday.

Need to get to 5 tries per game. Anything less and it will become a blame-a-thon on who lets in the try.

This year will be a real roller-coaster.
We will look half decent 1 week and back to schoolboy errors or dumb play the next.

By end of year, we should have reduced this unpredictability a fair bit, and next year we should be a stable and dependable team.

I heard. He’s not a fucken coach if he’s gonna make excuses as to why we lost. When I’m reality we shouldn’t have been in those positions to lose in the first olace

Annesley covering arse again, fark off, the contact was sufficient to prevent Burns from sliding and it was sufficient enough to twist his upper torso away from the line he would have needed to run. Barrett was spot on, Burns should have taken a dive and then we get a penalty every time.

Burns should have milked it better. The decoy was on his outside shoulder, all he had to do was make contact then fall over and it would have never been awarded.

exactly, penalty every time, this was not Okunbur fault, but the negativity on here refuse to see this, same as the strip, not his fault, he basically stopped like everyone else. Yes he should have played to the whistle but not his fault.

Just finished watching the match again and we played well. Lots better than we did last year - don't remember even a winning performance better than our loss to the Broncos. We looked dangerous and played the better team for the majority of the game. Two tries should / could have been disallowed and only needed a few of our chances turn into tries. Confident against eagles we can get job done.


Buy of the season...Addo Carr. Bringing on field culture to the team. A never give up attitude. A team first attitude. A winning culture. Love his leadership. Something I wasn't expecting.
