Gotta disagree on the Bateman stuff re. That strip . I thought it was a legit strip and could have gone both ways .
I think the middles are really slow to shift , and all players are guilty of not wrapping the ball up .
Nearly all thier tries were in the back of a late offload leading to a try directly or momentum off the next play the ball .
Chee Kam is just sucking in defenders and consistently getting his arm free . .
We are really poor around ruck control , and line speed .
We need to fix it for any chance this second half

Legit strip that was knocked on by Bateman. Obvious call that was correct and a really poor play on the 4th.

44% possession, zero penalties. Great effort to be only 4 down. They've gone 20 of 21.

this happens when ur attack focus when u got all defensive and u fall behind theres no way back
this is why it would of been better for benji to put all his effort in preseason into attack than focus on the defense this off season

Down by 4. If Bateman doesn't play we lead by 20. His raked ball on the 4th when we were flying completely changed the game. Their defence is as bad as ours, so plays like that will decide this game.

Side note...David Klemmer is the softest front rower of all time. He is all about self preservation

To be fair, Bateman is shit, kills plays and gives away stupid penalties. I wouldn’t say I have a full hate boner but I do have an annoyed semi. Maybe a frustrated chub.

Oh I agree he has been shit this year but that piss stain of a poster made excuses for players like Brooks and Seyfart for years.

He didn’t care when his favorites were costing the team. Hypocrite of the highest order

I like Bateman because even though he frustrates the shit out of me , he’s always involved . He’s trying to affect an outcome . It’s literally my number 1 criticism of Stef .
I’d much rather deal with a guy who’s in the match up to his eyeballs as someone who you have whisper sweet nothings in his ear to motivate him .
Not making it a Stef vs Bateman thing , just more about the clear differences in personality .
 
I can’t understand how even our older forward aren’t locking the ball up in the tackle.
Seriously our defence in the middle is terrible which leads to offloads and the opposition scoring in the corners and people blame our outside backs.

A f

Also one successful captain's challenge. This bozo has given us basically nothing all half. A fair shake from the referee and we're in business.

That's the problem. We just dont get the "fair shake" from the officials ever. Hope I'm wrong but I can just see the flow of the second half going souths way. Penalties, 6 agains...Probably a high scoring match. We might get another couple of tries but they may get a few??
