Getting run over the top of late in the game.

[hadds75]

The real end of last year and for the majoritry of this year I think we really are getting run over the top of in the third of the game. In all semis last year in the final thirty the opposition was just putting us to the sword and we were just hanging in there and again this year for the majority of the games the final 20 minutes the opposition is just making more yards and cutting us up.

I.E vs the roosters two weeks ago. We had all the ball in that 2nd half and the 2-3 times the Roosters had it they were just cutting us up and going through us through the middle and we just seemed slower, less enthusiastic or maybe less fit and more tired even though the roosters should of been like that as theyd just defended all half. Maybe its too many forwards playing 80 minutes or maybe its not having the right balance in the pack, or the oddly used interchange with a man less and then another guy getting a good 15 minutes but its an observation ive made anyawy

I think the bench selections and pathetic use thereof are the reasons mate.

Cant see us being less fit than other sides.

get a dam coach that can mentally get into the players heads to finish a game.

I think it has a fair bit to do with the interrupted start to the season. Blokes have been carrying injuries this season which has affected the fitness of said players. It has also meant lower graders playing that aren't as adept at dealing with the pace of the game. They are surely contributing factors.

That goes a long way to explaining this year but it is a traditional complaint about our side over many years now. Theres more to it.

Bit tough Hadds I reckon Roosters game we finished with injuries everywhere in semis . Saints game we should of had a penalty shot at goal when Lote was kneed in back . I think they honestly thought they could tackle Titans out of game tonight and almost did . Our problems tonight were our back three and every club will be hitting us with bombs the same every week now .

I really can't work it out. everything points to the coach… you look at the dragons as soon as they got a coach that was better then Brown they started to be consistant and close out games.

It has to be Sheens no matter who is in the team if we are full strength or what it is, we always have the fear of blowing a lead. and it hasnt changed in years!! I am so over it. its the reason I am so negative. I can't pinpoint the problem why we choke leads
