needs.to go to 13 mate
get latu into the game

Or maybe to the centres coz I can’t see them moving him to the forwards.( at least for now).

Samuela did nothing

He is off - injured - nothing like last year? What’s wrong?

 

[krissy]

This was my initial thought as well however, when you look at our centres the offerings are slim, 0 line breaks by AD, SF and HM. At least JS, ST and HM ran a lot of metres. Halves are only as good as the platform the forwards lay and the quality of their outside backs. Our guys didn’t even run a line that looked like it was going to create a chance. We have no speed or strength in our centres.

Am I alone in getting confused working out the players initials? Not having a go at you, so don’t be offended, it just felt like work having to stop & think who the initials were. It’s been a rough week. 🤣

Anyone notice every time we went out to our backline it was not only 3 on 3 or 2 on 2 but also the defenders were on the outside shoulder. So why are we getting to a backline move and the defence hasn't been pulled in? Absolutely not enough happening around the ruck. Need more offloads, short passes and Bula or whoever is fullback should be sticking to API because when we go out there is literally nothing happening.

I didn't see one run back into the middle from an edge or outside back today. Add the running sideways and it was just so ordinary.

Play through the middle and earn the right to go out.

 

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

almost isn't good enough, doesn't get you the 2 points. Galvin was ordinary.

Haha we have 3 spoons in a row bud. Improvement is a low threshold

 

[Lestronge]

We fell off tackles . They’re a big strong team , with size and power on the edges , and we didn’t stay committed for the full 80 minutes .
Galvin got in luais way a bit . That will get corrected .
I thought Mason tonight showed he’s clearly a first grade footy player , but cannot start in the 1 next week . In a game where it was always going to come down to the wire 2-3 errors off Bombs , as well as he runs his edges out of space in shape , and when he squares he doesn’t look for any second phase .
Like I said , a clearly great footy player , but I think he’s going to be a utility and eventually move into the middle in a few years .

Not disagreeing with anything you say. Week 1. Coach Benj decision.

Don't get me wrong - the kid is going to be a top notch player. At the moment he has that youthful exuberance of thinking he can do it all. The sooner he gets that knocked out of his game the sooner he will move to the next level.

 

[krissy]

Meanwhile I've been stuck in this damn car park for 25 minutes. Haven't moved a centremetre...

We respect your dedication as a fan, it wouldn’t have been a very comfortable night out there in the rain.

 

[Adrock]

Despite all the fumbling and bumbling, I never could understand how we have one the best attacking weapons in the modern era as a coach, and yet scoring points and try scoring plays are our biggest problem?

Bird

I'm really liking what I'm seeing from Bird.

He looks slimmer than previous years.
I like his intensity.

Bird has got to be in the starting 13. Seyfarth never plays well when he starts. Bench at best. I don't like to discuss other players on the night after a loss, but Bird has proved in the trials and tonight he has to be there.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Now should i raise the Campbelltown curse v Leichhardt or not ?
Opening home game should always be at LO imo. Get us off to a good start.
And we always only look half as good at CSS.

I can’t spell their names, so I use their initials out of respect.

 

[Ermo]

Neither am I. But week 1 new halves FFS. People are paid to think about this not us. For those that have played in the halves at any level - things don’t work perfectly off the bat. Appreciate your view

Ok, I’ll ask. What are your credentials?

 

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

Ok, I’ll ask. What are your credentials?

Probably less than yours. Likely better than some on here

 

[Bigscreentv]

Agree that things can take time to click.

2 key moments for mine;
drop ball from Mason (we all worried about this)
Anyone else see the forward pass in the build up to the second try?

Also, centres didn’t defend well. Faataape got a bath.

 

[hodgo]

Im no great fan of our centres but how can u possibly blame them? They received no ball at all and most certainly no quality ball.

i honestly think our problems are in the channel with them and our 2nd rowers. So many miss tackles in that area and half or full breaks. where as i though our wingers and middles were good. Where did you see our weaknesses?

 

[user118245]

Bird worries me, hot head potentially with a bit of [This word has been automatically removed]wit about him

Did Cambelltown Stadium miss 50 odd tackles

 

[old_man_tiger]

Yeah … it’s a massive weakness …

Silver lining, with a 2nd receiver who won't pass it doesn't matter who's at centre

 

[Halbrowne61]

Now when we question Benjis coaching, what about his support network.
Morris, Hodgson, Hetherington, Richards and a cast of thousands. I think we must look at the coaching team as a whole.
It amazes me that between then they can’t formulate a successful game plan.
Unless things change it will become the festering sore it has been for several seasons.
