He was nowhere close to his 2022 form last year, and played with a bunch of injuries. Fast forward to 2024, another pre season, body even slower, more injury prone. I didn't expect him to be this bad, but I wasn't particularly excited for the signing. Hate to think what '25 & '26 look like.

To make matters worse, we can't just be a bad team. We have to be the biggest bunch of milkers in the league, it's pathetic to watch the constant staying down playing for penalties. No team does it remotely as much as us.

This team is actually done for the season. No confidence, only Souths are worse right now.

I've taken note and been keeping an eye on that today. It's pretty bad aye, always laying behind the play the ball, then takes an age to get back up and into the line.

Yea I was way off on him making any meaningful difference. The whole team needs to be taken out the back.

Either Webby ain't coaching, or the players aren't listening. Nothing is changing week after week.

...playing square and direct deep into the line as a half. CHT is the better distributor of the three and is willing to wear a shot to get the outcome he wants. **That doesn't mean the attack doesn't need more variation and our sets aren't giving them much room or quality ball to work with though.

Metcalf wasn't playing direct enough last year, it was all very either I'll run myself or I'll angle you out of room by not squaring up and diving into the line to play out the back giving you room. It was looking a little similar to start this season, although better than last year and new...

It would be interesting to know if everyone was fit to start the season till now. Would Tohu be coming off for a break rather than being shuffled into prop as was done last year when Walker would come on?   I haven't noticed the Tohu stuff, so maybe haven't been paying enough attention. But...

Come on bro, noone is saying he is going to win us the game or leaping out of their socks 😂 We have leaked sixty points in the past fortnight, and defensive issues are a lot easier and quicker to fix than our offensive issues. We are getting rolled really bad in that middle period of the game...

Bunty would be handy, we have had poor ruck control in that middle period the past fortnight. He is the glue we need in that period currently.

I've never thought of him as a quality distributor, so the lack of quality ball is only going to shine a spotlight on it further. I never watched him in rugby, so maybe he got better. But an elite runner with a nice flick and the odd pass was how I remember him at fullback for us.

1. Do you put our losses down to injuries? You can possibly put them down to injuries if you are willing to accept we aren't in the echelon of Penny, Storm, Broncos who have continued to win and convincingly despite major injuries this season. Accepting we are more so a middling team that is a...

The bulk of halves tackles are edge backrowers on a short flat ball or an unders to try get a quick ptb. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Despite all the absolute cope in the post match twenty pages deep. Both the Drags and Tits will be firmly entrenched in the bottom five 😂

Different tackles though, and at a lower rate. Both CHT and Martin are proven solid defenders, and Metcalf was showing improved tackling from last season.

Might just be me. But I'm probably not putting the guy who had a brain bleed in the middle getting Egan'd by props on a weekly basis.

The coach would need to be confident in your kicking to command kicks off SJ. The only one out of the three that looks composed enough and confident with his kicks is CHT at present.

If play any part in the NRL game you aren't allowed to back up even if it's only 2min of NRL. It's part of the latest CBA. Unsure if that's includes 18th man or not.

Not sure I can watch any of the other games this weekend after these three. Everyone else is attacking at will and we are doing five up and an uncontested kick on repeat.
