It's always good to hear from someone who is actually at the game and seeing things that you don't see on TV. 100% agree young TC should have been rested after the Easts game. No doubt he's playing injured you just shouldn't burn your young players. I thought the crowd was a touch disappointing in numbers. Holmes disappointed me tonight up against Capewell and didn't utilise that advantage. The field goal attempt was poorly constructed. We desperately need a genuine halfback
You honestly don't think the coach told Kyle he is the main play maker and LKT he is second fiddle?
He is playing as he fears being dropped and that's not a good team culture
If he did then that is extremely disappointing. Of course you have your order, 1/2 back runs the show, but if things are not going your way you shouldn't be restricting your 5/8 and telling him not to play. Look at the game on now Panthers v Cowboys. Cleary running the show but his 5/8 Talangi has set up 4 tries and scored 1 himself. As a coach you need to have contingency plans
Whatever the crowd was, I think around 13 K , its going to be a lot less next time, there were a lot of despondent people there tonight, Just watched the PC, Flanno looks as though he's had enough, his body language has changed quite a lot since the start of the season, he really needs to make a call on KF.
Thanks for your report justa. Disappointing that you didn't see a win tonight at the grounds. Our team is like it is governed by a switch to turn them on and then turn them off. We definitely are trying and sometimes over trying. We are positive and then become negative. There is just no one able to take control of the team and lead by example. No speed in the halves which in this day and age is essential to help run the opposition ragged. No speed and power in the forwards to help make the yards needed to better our chances in scoring points. No rigid structure to ensure we have control over the opposition. No brains to see what is needed to outplay the opposition. Do our coaches identify the oppositions weaknesses and play to them?
jodragon40 says. The dude is 19 year-old yet how good is he compared to his halves partner? 
Point 1 - AgreeI want to be that person to focus on the positives.
- LPT is 19 playing in the front row. Very far from let us down. Gonna be a superstar.
- Every 19 year-old potential superstar could do with someone to show the way. Hello JDB. Once again, yet again, our best forward. Couchman's and Stewart have work do do yet.
- LKT has the best qualities of a half despite what my friend or nemeses
- Holmes is really ripping in.
Agree, if this kid, and that is what he is, stays grounded, continues to learn his trade and obtains that physical and mental toughness that a prop must have, stays injury free which is highly unlikely then this kid is the answer to one of our biggest issues, a go forward bookend. Im excited to watch this kids progress and I dont get too excited these days, well not since I was at the 2010 GF
C'mon mate Toby has been very impressive and for mine has come of age. Has the makings to be our pack leader after Jack retires. Stewart is a good emerging player. I see some of the same traits in his game as Jack to be honest, tho early days. I also see some of those same traits from Daniel Meafou.
So am I Jo. From reading his pre game interview he does come across as a grounded young man.
As easy to find as snow in hell. Imho by keeping hold of the nameless one for so long we missed out on either nurturing a genuine half of our own or buying one. No doubt with some remorse we are now paying the price, having to scratch round for one when they have all been taken.
Good points DD. Yes, none of our halves have the natural instinct of a play maker/game manager, something we have suffered from prob since Gareth Widdop. It is a major problem to fix. Still we live in hope that either Ilias or Reed who prob has the most natural ability, is our long term answer.
Hard to fathom Jd when we recruited plenty of experience in Gutho, Cook and Holmes with surely the much needed cred and know how to ice us close games.
Probably do along with every other club.
