The question is, if it's a trial, what exactly are we trialling? The first 20 of the Warriors game looked like we had something going on. Fast forward to Saints and frankly we were dominated.Nice summary.
I'm a trial is a trial believer, but Im not going to lie, that performance was so insipid there is a bit of panic on my end.
Beaten to the punch from the 1st minute to the 80th. My only hope was that maybe we were still being flogged in fitness due to our first game being 3 weeks away which may have resulted in a fatigued performance.
Unfortunately there has been nothing to suggest that is the case. A mixed response from Captain and coach after the game. Api didn't seemed to fussed, Benji look deeply concerned.
One thing is for sure, when you show the rest of the NRL how soft you can be, then expect every team to come at you aggressively for the rest of the year.
They punched holes through our defence all day and in attack, we were hideous.
Once again, our forwards get us into the red zone and we can't convert. This will be the theme of 2024 unless something drastically changes.
For the suggestions of Galvin or Sullivan to lock, I think it's a bad idea. You are putting a big defensive workload on them and why have 3 playmakers in the starting team? If your first 2 can't create points, then drop them.
I sincerely hope we are not going back to Taylor ball or Madge ball. It's clear this club can't play this system. There's not enough points in it.
