Now that I’ve calmed down all in all we did play piss poor and I’ll tell you exactly why. Earlier in the season during the Barret days we made similar errors first halves though the issue hasn’t been as prominent of late it’s certainly returned. Errors lead to defense, repeat sets, poor field position and most important at all exposes our substandard fitness. We’re unfit, we have the attacking quality to compete with Cowboys for 65 minutes and blow an eels side 34-4. When we’re making tackles galore early on as a result of errors we fall of due to our piss poor fitness we’ve had at the club for years. Bundaberg to NZ is inadequate to explain what we saw today, you can’t ignore it however 18-18 to 42-18 is purely fitness and piss poor discipline.
Inexperience is a major factor to, Burton may be a future superstar and doing some brilliant stuff for us but his young and will have games like this. Averillo had covid, clearly killed his momentum not to mention he doesn’t sync with the attack and has an issue under the high ball. Schoup is young and inconsistent and for for me needs an off-season, stubborn at times and doesn’t create for addo car. Vaughen showed experience, gets his job done runs hard and has game IQ. Next game Burton could kill slaughter pawwa, averillo could score two and schoup could assist JAC. It’s a rebuild and it will take time of course today was disappointing it’s a bumpy road will be highs and lows.
