At least we have 4 x tacklers in Farah,Woods,Fulton and Galloway !

After this reality check the only way is up !

This hangover from Sheens era of babying these guys cant last forever !
 
Potter rightly shafted Utai. I love him but his days on the wing are surely numbered.

Robbie Farah…....Sauce/Buchanan and Woods had a go.

Our backrow hit the ball up 13 times in the whole game for 73 metres in 220 mins of game time.

That is .............pretty ordinary.
 
Considering the lop sided possession stat we probably did very well not to concede a lot more.They were running on empty for most of the game.
 
Buchanan in the front row was excellent, looked every bit the first grader.
The last 20 minutes were good, considering they must have been off their feet,

Once Utai went off, Ayshford seemed to defend better, maybe a coincidence.

Farah was strong.

I actually think our attack looked ok when we had the ball. I liked the structure with alot of inside runners.

A few silly mistakes late in attack.

So many people are blamimg the great lack of possession but the question must be asked why did this great disparity occur (only 37% possession to the Tigers). You cannot blame the referee and you cannot balme that favourite scapegoat Sheens. The blame is solely with the players and their incompetence. You say the we probably did very well not to concede a lot more possession. Surely that Is not a good point coming from the game.
 
You can't get milk from a bull..Meaning we have no cattle..long year ahead…We need FRESH NEW faces in Jumper 1,,,Jumper 2,,,Jumper 6,,,Jumper 7,,,Jumper 13,,,Jumper 12...And I am starting to get tired of Keith pulling Tarzan faces yet playing like JANE!!!

early on we got a bit unlucky with a couple richochets rewarded the knights for poor kicks, than a few unforced penalties which were us showing poor discipline. The problem than compounded it self.
BMM gave away a couple of very silly penalties and Bell gave away a clanger on the 4th tackle with us holding them to about the 40 m line to start the poor run in the second half.

Benji took 2 silly grubbers at very poor times.

all of these led to no ball.
 
Goose, I never saw any unlucky richochets that helped the Knights! Just LUCK that the Knights didn't post another 7 tries! Let's not sugar coat a piss poor performance…It's not just last night's game it's all of 2012!!! Yet,,Benji blamed SHEENS!!! Benji has the WORSE kicking game in ANY GRADE in ANY TEAM!!!

The ricochet you talked about that lead to the try was in fact was fair game ,Uate tries to pass the ball from the ground and it hits a Tigers players hand who is attempting to tie the ball up

Wasn't saying it was a bad call Happy, just unlucky. As we all know, that is football.

PSR, they got 6 again twice from ricochets, not the be all and end all excuse, but it was part of the reason they had all that ball. Poor discipline also played a role. It is like a snowball.
 
Point taken Goose,,but gee wiz mate,,we also got at least 2 LUCKY ricochets (glad you know how to spell that word!) Is poor discipline the same as being UN-FIT??? To ALL aren't we LUCKY to share out PAIN in a decent RANT!!!
 
One thing that is bothering me

We mostly acknowledge that Anasta probably has the best long kicking game and is extremely good with the swirling bombs

Miller has a pin point short kicking game

In the Roosters trial and round 1 I don't think Anasta has kicked once and Miller has kicked twice

Are others bemused by this ??

The disapointing thing in that period (between the 20 and halftime) was that all 3 penalties in a row were unforced, we weren't on the back foot holding on, one was just a silly offside to Bell and 2 to BMM with work on the ball, compoundng the bad luck around the same time…. sillyness.

Not at all. Benji rules the roost.
