SGI NSW Cup
As predicted unfortunately I said that the Roosters would attack our weakest links in defence especially the mismatch between Manu v Amone. So we went from missing 33 tackles against the ponies to missing 50 against the roosters. You cannot win games missing 50 tackles a game. The main offender's were the regular suspects: Bird 7/31, Hunt 6/7, Amone 5/20 and Mbye 7/19 . Our best defender McCullough only made 28 last week he made 50 but he was hooked in the 2nd half after being too slow to cover the gap in the middle which allowed another roosters try. I thought our best forward was Burns stats indicate that he was running for 131m 13 hit ups Bird was the only other forward to run 100m + so we were not going forward in the middle third of the field. I did mention also I was worried about McCullough v Verills match up with O'Connor coming on as a fresh dummy half leaving McCullough tanked sure enough he ran rampant in the 48 min he was on he ran 120m made 3 tackle busts scored a try set up another shortly after McCullough was hooked. We did try and matched them for 65 min but 3 tries in the last 15 really rubbed it in. We cannot afford to continue playing with 1 hooker even the roosters have woken up to that fact. It's time for Muhleisen. I'm afraid that we will not win a game this month with the Sea Eagles, Cowboys coming up. As a long time life supporter there needs to be change we leak far too many points to be competitive and our discipline is atrocious sad but true
