One piece of good news came out of this week, a 3 yr extension for Jacob Liddle.
We need to formulate a gameplan during the bye which creates yardage. Whether it's give up 'speed' for yardage winger like finau or Allan & then utilise offloads to create some ball movement to get easy meters.
We don't have quality fwds for one out runs. I'd bring couchman back into the middle and run with a tsigranous & rfm edge.

Twelve points up and just gave the momentum to Shonkies. One off hit ups after looking good with some offloads before half time. No second half points !
Flanno even said, keep completing sets and looking for corners to defend from. But that does not win matches !
Very poor defending bombs !
At least Nick K was good and did not drop the ball like Holmes often does.
Should have won really ! But you have to go on with it and try to put teams to the sword when you have momentum.
You may lose some games but that is happening anyway in these arm wrestles.
Flanno must have given the kiss of death half time talk again !
Keep hitting the ball up and you will win !
Not in modern football especially with the six again rule…

I’d say for the output he provides, Luciano is absolutely in that category.
We’ll be saying this in 2027 as well when Gutho is in his final year too
Moves like a slug, needs way more dynamism in the team to make up for the lack of running threat from him on sweep plays or out the back of shape

LKT and Nick T were class tonight, shouldn’t go unnoticed despite a shit loss
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to shoehorn Lawson/Holmes/Suli/Tsougranis into the same backline because Sloan’s head just ain’t in it at this point

Suli has been very overrated for a while, hasn't he? Getting rid of Sloan is a no-brainer. He's getting worse.

I just wish LKT would back himself more. Don't be afraid of making a mistake, just go for it. Has Flanno got everyone but Kyle walking on eggshells, worried about getting dropped if they make a mistake?

Sloan is a liability .........

I'm too disappointed to say much. I just wanted to comment on what I noticed about 10min into the second half. Shonkies had the ball around halfway. Got a pretty standard play the ball, passed one out from dummy half and our forwards just stood there waiting. No one pushing forward. What is it? Are they unfit, just not trying or what? Anyone got any idea?

That’s our biggest issue mate, the lack of line speed in defence is so alarming
On top of that, when coming out of yardage it’s totally normal to take one out hitups, but watch what Melbourne and roosters do coming out of yardage, there are always another player or 2 running beside them. Players in motion next to the ball carrier so that he can force a defender 1v1 instead of a 3 man gang tackle
that’s how to generate a quick play the ball and gain momentum generally

Couchman middle, Gular dropped which I know is harsh but have to make room, Nick T backrow. And Sloan > Finau.
No way sloan is back in the team. He's not a winger.

I meant Sloan out, Finau in.

They lack killer instinct. Our players don't go for the jugular. They play one good half and then for some reason they change tack and drift rather than charge at full pelt until full-time. Yes a couple of games they have been good but they just cannot maintain consistency and that really needs to be addressed by someone who knows how to coach!!.
Once the Sharks were rolling over the Dragons in the second half I turned off because there just wasn't any fight and resilience shown by our players - no-one seemed to have a clue.
Another loss to the Sharks. When will we beat them again - maybe never?
