Had a quick look at next weeks trials. I knew we had Raiders just looking at the other games, have to say there is a real good chance we may come last in this tournament. Its clear that Sheens doesn’t care about the result of this tournament for the club otherwise we would’ve had a stronger squad for our game against the Warriors.
Now we have Raiders and that’s always a tough battle. I’m expecting a stronger team than what we named in Round 1 but I hope to god if there is one that the defence majorly improves from us in the next game. I know Sheens has always been an attack coach, but it doesn’t matter if you score 30 points if you can’t prevent the opposition from scoring 36. If we do lose to the Raiders next week we will be pegged for the favourites again to win the spoon and honestly, if we do come last I may even accept that we may get back to back spoons. We certainly aren’t making the 8. The only way if we do lose next week to avoid last place, we have to hope that Souths put a cricket score on the Dragons and have a worst PD than us. I hope the boys lift next week but with Sheens back at the helm I’m not holding my breath. Its clear he didn’t even bother to try and fix the mistakes that cost Madge his job. So far Sheens has not been an upgrade.
