Need a better collective effort to win through better line speed, kick pressure & awareness in attack. Liddle should be better for the run, hopefully more minutes & our new players should have better combinations too. Should be a hot arvo game, so fitness will come into it.
Feagai was catching bombs from Burton who had no kick pressure, Sloan would've been driven back to Wollongong under that barrage. Finau is playing left wing, he's a good shout but got concussed at the wrong time. Feagai was solid in the trials & it would send the wrong message to the playing...
They've lost Munro for a month, so I can see them needing Rava now. Saw Rava at Kogarah, he's legit bigger than BMM but looks 40 lol. Well they both do lol
Jamie Humphreys tore us up in CS, apparently played very well in rd.1
Need to watch out for him. I think they have Wighton missing. If Klemmer plays, do we start him or bench him?
It was from the start of the game, it's not like we dropped off. We never had it at a similar level to the dogs from the start. Maybe it just won't happen with the likes of JDB/Guler/Cook. Hopefully it's just nerves or an attitude that changes against the bunnies.
This entire set summed up what we should've tried to do more often, there was a good off-load from Couchman earlier in the set then we hit Leilua later on who found CT in some space which allowed us to shift the ball back to the right resulting in the overlap.
Re Illias I don't mind his kicking game issues, I was a bit harsh. Our field position was poor for a lot of the game but he has to improve on his ball playing. We've got the overlap, he needs to recognise the pass has to go to Gutho but he passed it into Su'a. Reading the opposition defensive...
