Was Ciraldo really the Penrith defensive coach?

Burton is not a 5/8. Only has a bomb, nothing else. Failagain is freaking horrible. Reed is busting himself. We need a half and a fullback. We have for ages.
Get it done Gus. 80 points leaked in 2 games. 60% completion. We panic and can't catch. We will struggle to win again this season at this rate.
Maybe less cuddles and feels and more catching the freaking ball
They have to go back to basics, the school of Hustler, they have to understand that if they don't complete at 80 percent or above they aren't going to win games.

Centre is a specialist defensive position.

Ciraldo learning on the job, Topine at centre is a disaster waiting to happen. It's HahaHarper levels of defense out there.
Two weeks in A row where Topine was put there because of injury. Can’t really control that

You do realise that Burton was the best of our spine today and he had a bad game…
You could of been the best half today and that's no disrespect to you.

Our defence is the best it’s been in years. Our goal line defence holds up well and in general play the line looks tight.

The only time we look shakey is after an injury/reshuffle or simply poor individual with bad defensive reads ie Okunber…

I’m impressed the amount of restarts/penalties against us but we show up time and time to turn them away.

Some of these penalties are unbelievable. It’s like a memo has gone out from NRL management to smash us…probably in response to Gus constantly embarrassing them in the media.

Because it was a fukin patella Injury... anybody else I guarantee they play through it and still provide 80%.

This exactly. A centre who is in the team purely for his attacking speed was just a passenger. You could understand a middle forward staying on to be a big body for short hit ups and tackles, but to carry Averillo for so much of the game was a really strange decision, wouldn’t have changed the result but strange nonetheless.

Respect to Avo for batteling on, but come on.... heart can only do so much when the body isn't keeping up.

I'd actually have him back in FB if he is fit next week. Perham is a liability and not a FBs arsehole.
