We were kicking inside our own 40m most of the time.

We were outmuscled and that’s on the forwards. Simple as that.

Do u realise that if u take a one out run 5 times in a row , the opposition only have to cover 40-50% of the defensive line , if u got a 1/2 back who gets his backs ready he can go wide with will stretch the opposition, watch Hughes from storm , they do it all the time

Do you think if you put our halves in the Storm team their forwards would be dominated like ours were today?

I do not.

Here’s some tips for next weeks game benji 1) don’t try and take the titans forwards on , up the middle there weakness is out wide
2) take no dummmys from Campbell or Brimson , and make sure wingers stay out on there man
3) and for god sake get some depth in our attack with decoy runners
4) it’s not that bloody hard benji , u got a whole week to get it right

Agree. Stop players jumping out of the defensive line. Need to go up together in a line.

It's weird because we know our pack can be capable, and we know our backs can be capable... but one always disappoints the other.

We take one out hit ups more than any club in the NRL.
It’s very boring, predictable and opposing clubs know they can compress their defence to physically dominate us as we have no speed out wide or on our edges to really worry them either.
The only time we look half decent is when we have a 1st receiver digging deep into the line which does not happen very often.

We are very predictable and easily handled. Our 4th tackle options are always a forward to hit up to try and get a quick play the ball (but we never do). We always play one of the ruck - trying to get a roll on I imagine but always lose the wrestle. Agree about having a first receiver that can direct our attack.

Both halves were poor today.
Our attack always looks much better when we have a first receiver digging in and getting across the advantage line fast.
It worked from an attacking point of view when Latu has briefly played that role, it has looked ok in glimpses with Bird playing that role and looked much better today once Doueihi played that role.
We don’t have enough speed or creativity in our team to be able to afford a 3rd prop such as Twal playing 13.
I realise the theory is playing a 3rd prop at 13 as an extra big body, particularly when defending, but it’s stunting our attack, making us predictable with far too much one out running which is farthest for our opponents to condense their defence.
What are your thoughts on what is going wrong Snidest ?

Agree with what you said, however with Doueihi even in the halves last week he seemed to be receiving the ball flatter and faster at the advantage line

This is it. We will be keeping $$$ up our sleeve for Taylan May if he shows what we believe he can. I'd imagine he will go on a $400-$450k contract for next season if that's the case.

So then with our remaining cap we won't be able to afford a Josh Papali'i or anyone else over $500k unless 1 of 3 things happen -

1 we get Royce off our cap somehow,
2 Souths agree to pay at least 50% of Bud's contract or,
3 we can frontload a few hundred K this season.

Realistically we be looking at a 2 x $400-$500k players (1 being Taylan) and then a host on close to minimum deals.

My reasoning is in the Salary Cap thread.

I'd say you're way off. I'd assume we have at least around 2 million still to spend.

Actually that’s on our backs to get us out of trouble, if the forwards have to get involved in our own half the backs haven’t done their job. Defensively the forwards were poor in stopping their backs in their half. But I’ve said this in earlier games and it’s a constant with WT teams. The only way we can get into a good attacking position is through repeated possession I.e a penalty or a 6 again.

Unfortunately I’m not seeing him to be as good a player as Scott Prince …I think what we get with Luai is defence, attitude and holding others in the team accountable… he needs to get back to that now., also has gotta quit the dumb penalties

He has an elite short kicking game too. Needs to improve long kicking game no doubt though.
