That's not why we lost. Poor last tackle options and some costly errors let the broncos get the upper hand in a real arm wrestle. Lulia defended well when he came on and we still had 4 interchanges with Kapow and Galloway fresh in the final quater.
Was a shame to let them back in….but if your experienced players can't play for a repeat set it makes the hill that much harder to climb.

And where did he play?? When austin came on, anasta, luani and blair were all still on the field. We shape shifted tonight which ruined any cohesion we were going to have missing farah.
Yes last play options were terrible, but its not helped by having 3 hookers and 3 locks playing musical chairs.

Actually it was. We had no structure. Looked like headless chooks. Potter does some good things but geez his tactics can be puzzling.
How you can have Lulia on the bench ahead of someone like Nathan Brown. who would have killed it off the bench tonight, does my head in.
The use of Tapau over the last 3 weeks has been disgraceful.
Weirdest coaching display I have seen in a long time.

He should have never picked 2 backs on the bench. Plus one of the forwards on the bench had only been back for 1 week after a long lay off. The 17 was way too lopsided before a ball was even kicked.
Taupau should never have started. His impact is much better utilised at the arse end of each half.
Tonight was one that shouldn't have got away but given the effort was there from the boys and Brooks being taken off late when he looked clear to continue stunted our finish.

Tonight reminded me of Sheens, players all over the place, musical chairs, and two backs on the bench.
I'll give Potter the benefit of the doubt, even the coaches have a shocker from time to time.

Don't think bench lost us the game. Overall team selections lost the game. That team doesn't work so why keep trying same thing.

The biggest crime of the defence was leaving Akaoula off for 45 mins after he killed the start! He made more metres per hit up than any other player yet he gets subbed after 25 and returns for the last 10??
Similar things have happened in past month or two with the likes of Gavet, Ava and Galloway. Some players playing huge mins while other impact players sit on the bench for the majority of the game, even if they were killing it when on the field!
Rotate them properly rather than playing long stints and then long stints on the bench. We had too many changes at the end of the game as he wasn't using them wisely.

It's also possible that Potter had a decent strategy that the players failed to execute?

Certainly agree that too many people were shifted around and this made us dysfunctional. A strange departure from Potter, that all seemed to revolve around accommodating Austin.
Cannot agree though on your crazy angle by Lulia comment. He ran the perfect line to draw two players and open up a huge hole. If others had done their job on that play, we would probably be writing about much happier subjects.
