LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

Live Game Discussion
The edge defence issue starts with our spacing. Tavana can’t stay out on the wing if the two or three inside him are condensed
He can have confidence that Turuva will make his tackle. He's constantly marking the wrong opponent or going for an intercept.

He makes the wrong decision time and again. For a small, slow winger without any skill unless he's scoring a try he just doesn't offer us anything.
 
Lack of depth, players playing with niggles - our good start was a false reality. With our top squad healthy we are competitive but beyond that we are bottom 8. You cant convince me we are better than the Titans Broncos or Canberra and they all sit below us.
 
Im not making excuses.

I stand by my position in relation to referees dictating the momentum of games in the first 20 minutes. Its an nrl wide issue, not just a one off reaction for this game
My position is it's not the refs it's the rules. If teams commit ruck infringements is the ref supposed to ignore them because he doesn't want to influence momentum? The rules are shit in the balance between attack and defence is out of whack. It's not the refs fault for enforcing those shit rules.
 
It seems he might have people skills but has never shown any tactical nous.
you can't show tactical nous with players that are just not up to it ,
players that just don't get anything the coach says and just doesnt sink in to their brain.
its impossible.

What I’m saying is that the problem isn’t just with him and Turuva, look from A out and they’re all shoulder to shoulder consistently. Just how I saw it anyway
