Could sneak into the 8, but still unlikely with that squad IMO.
1. It is devoid of raw speed.
2. Douehi played well at halfback, but he isn’t consistent, controlling, nor good enough kicking game at 7 to make us a proper contender. Hope I eat my words.
3. Need at least one more gun forward...
Very tough and fast game.
Melbourne are just a machine. They’re amazing, and without Pap and Hughes.
Munster is on another level.
And such a pleasure to see Bulldogs lose.
No one in their right mind had us making the 8.
I had us finishing around this position. I thought with some new players it was achievable, still challenging, but realistic.
We seldom played for 80 mins.
We had the Galvin saga.
We weren’t consistent over the season.
But we all saw something...
Supposing Knights lose, if Titans win they will avoid the spoon. They have what to play for. While we have little incentive to win this game.
Gonna be tough
Our 5th tackle options were bad, but this was obviously a tactic. One that didn’t work.
Api was not his usual.
But both our tries were effectively set up by Luai. He was the only one that looked likely to penetrate. Just a shame we don’t have better foils for him.
A few sliding doors moments here. All that went Canberras way.
The disrupter.
The legit Luai tackle on Fogarty.
Pole dropping it over the line.
Skelton strip.
