No don't unless you want to hear corporate jargon like how the losses present us with an "exciting opportunity" to test ourselves and how he is "personally excited by this opportunity". Too much positivity.
Webster said in the presser we are not in a hole because we have only lost two on the bounce. He seems to be counting the Manly game as a good outcome instead of a fluke that we got a point. We are winless in our last three matches.
I saw this coming and traded away Terrell this week. He got limited minutes last week and he was named at 17 this week in the lineup. Usually but not always the bench is in a pecking order,. Number 14 gets the most minutes and number 17 a low amount. My observation anyway.
I am done my rants for the evening. I am not mad at this loss. I was more ropeable last week. We didn't play that bad this week and had two dissallowed tries that they would have given to a team like the roosters.
That try where Dallin competed in the air for it I didn't think he knocked it on...
It was not a banana skin game at all. They were on more of a roll coming into this match than we were. The TAB odds having us heavy favourites were completely misguided.
I don't see us winning our way into the GF with Montoya's blunders. And I know I risk being attacked by the BerrySiah people but he needs another stint in NSW cup to fix his one on one defence. He is a liability on defence at the moment. Specifically and this comes from my days playing rugby...
He also dropped two defensive bombs which admittedly were contested. But he is not good under the high ball.
I said last week Pompey should be playing just to stop the mistakes happening.
Probably our least most stubborn coach in terms of dropping players was Brown but he over did it and changes always happening. I thought Payton had the balance right in terms of not being afraid to wield the axe but wanting combinations as well. Webster doesn't like the Axe much like SK didn't...
For those calling for TMM to go. He was far worse last week. Today when he took the line on himself there was nothing else on him for him. I thought he defended his little heart out too.
On a nice note I loved the Anzac day ceremony. I saw all the Aussies in our team including Andrew Webster make a fair impression at Advance Australia fair. Game was meaningful for all concerned.
We are the same players as last year it is just our season has no momentum to it and guys are sometimes no trusting one another and the system which happens when you lose. Winning breeds winning. Losses create more losses.
The whole season got off on the wrong foot. Roger is a ten hundred...
I don't mind losing and it can be helpful but I would prefer to see changes made when you can see things aren't working and looks like Webster is going to be a coach very reluctant to make changes. Every approach has its upsides and the advantage to Websters approach is that we will be keeping...
Too soon to say Zyon is the answer, needs to back it up next week. If he does though I am going to lobby for him to moved up the prop pecking order. Very promising debut. And he had learned a valuable lesson from this trial match send off. He was excited today but he didn't get over excited or...
Somethings missing. We we click into over drive we are the best team in the NRL. When we sit back and play percentage league the game seems to come at us and happen to us. It is always frustrating when we lose when we always have the more talented team. No blaming injuries either as they were...
Laban gets a 6 from me. He will be dissapointed with his effort. Did most things right but over ran a pass from AFB resulting in a turn over and fell for a dummy to let in a try. But not terrible and not the reason we lost.
Some promising stuff too. He ran good lines and dealt out some noise on...
