awful from so many angles
firstly the energy was with the raiders all game- did the penrith game sap our energy - we looked older than them all game
forget the dropped ball from tracey and kiraz - both had fairly good games despite
and despite a good game by hutch and Burton shifting to either side of the ruck in attack why the effin hell is hutch kicking more than burton for distance and why no burton spirals this week and just one last week?
Burton should get the ball in every play yet gets the ball some times never or just once in a set of six and hatch gets the ball always or we take a " tolman" settler 3 times in their 20m
Crazy  to keep Kikau on despite him being hampered and making errors as a result
bereft of a game manager near the end there again!
an important game to let slip and we slide back down the ladder now


I would need to watch the game again to see what went wrong in attack.

One thing that did go wrong was Kiks took some bad options and made a some errors. I am not sure if he was affected by the head high tackle. Might even be ruled out HIA. 

The Panthers game did probably take some petrol out of us.

I agree with CC we drift into playing like strangers in attack and most games there is at least one try that we should stop.

I think that we just need to form combinations.  I do think that at times we look better with Hayward at lock. Somehow Reed, Mann and Hutch don't seem to combine well at this stage.  I have noticed that in multiple games.

I had to get out of TK, they are tearing the team to shreds. I will admit there were many players that let us down, Kiks was playing injured and should have been rested and replaced. Burton' conversions have become a problem, too many ball hogs and Fix has lost his mojo. Canberra sre fvcking dirty pieces of shit and got away with a lot of foul play..the 2 binnings attested to their dirt. I hope this is the wakeup call they needed to get back into focus because our top 8 aspirations are starting to look tattered.

I think that this is why Gus and CC are trying to manage expectations.

I think that the conditions made the game tricky, but Canberra really aimed up.

Tracey and Kiraz are 2 of our better players most weeks, but they started the game with uncharacteristic errors, that sums up the match.

Burto kicking is hot n cold. Some weeks he lands them 100%, other weeks 60%. He aint no El Masri thats for sure.
Crichton should have a go.

Spot on. Losing to the Lime Slime again just cemented the reity they've become our bogey side. 

Hutch played his best game ever for us and how ironic that we lost it even though the fans have been baying for a real halfback. Well our halfback tonight played out of his skin and we still lost it to the Slime.

I don't think Hutch is our problem. 

Just too many errors and we lack patience at times.

I think Critter should be taking goal kicks from Burton's weaker side.

We also struggle to get up when we are favourites.

Bit of a wake up call for us, they wanted it more.

I am not sure if Kiks was 100%.

Work to do if we want to make the 8.

Not terrible, but one of our worst performances this season. 

I knew Ricky would have them up for it.

Shattered. We were our own worst enemy. I wonder if our boys are reading into the media hype too much.  A terrible game and to be beaten by them, again, does not help.

People are saying we only scored because the faiders are down men, but we were building long before to two binnings.

Exactly, handling errors kept giving gifts to Faiders. Need to now build from here. Two quick trys while the 2 in the bin. Take advantage of the overlap.

They need to keep scoring tries because Burto not so hot with the boot.

Crichton to take the kicking duties moving forward I think (hope).

Nail biting match, hopefully we can post some points early in the second half and get the win.

Kiks injury is a worry.

Karl Oloapu finally spoke out about his neck surgery. Looks much better. Running again and on track for a pre season. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t comeback but I’m hope he does. He would fit in very well with our smaller forwards 

I think that he will slot in at lock.

I hope he comes back, but I also hope that he is OK. Brave to keep playing, hopefully he is getting good medical advice.

Definitely ease him back into the game.

We need to knock over the Raiders. A convincing win and we are finals bound this year. 

It is an important game for us, the majority of fans and experts now agree that we are a top 8 side.

We need to prove that we are a top 8 side by winning, regardless of how well the Raiders perform.

Reviewing our season todate we have often made more yards, more line breaks and had better field position than our opposition.

We lost a few games when our dominance suggested that we should have won, even against the Storm in Melbourne.

Looking at our attacking structures, I would not change any of the spine players and I would stick with the Mann / Hayward rotation at lock, perhaps the only change being give Mann more minutes at the back end. 

The last 3-4 weeks we have set up attacking structures very well at the opponent's end. 

I haven't rewatched the Souths game but that stands out as the game in which we didn't take opportunities. 

I also think Mann, Hutch and Tracey are better at throwing short passes than many think they are. Burton has even shown some vision and execution on long passes that wasn't there last season. 

We need to improve our end of set kicking at the opponent's end, perhaps Marhoney,  Tracey or Hayward taking the occasional kick might help.

Defensive lapses all need to be tidied up, IMO Hello Kitty, Taaffe and Turpin made the biggest errors. I might relent and keep Salmon in my side just because I don't 100% trust Farmer. However,  what I remember is Farmer is pretty good. 

So really we don't need radical changes in team composition,  defensive structures or attacking style, just a bit more focus and attention to detail at the right times and practice,  practice, practice.

Same 17, Farmer, Taffee, Sexton, Wilson and Turpin reserves.

I think that all of the lads will travel to Brisbane.

Outside of injuries Farmer is an outside shot IMO.

Most likely injury Kiraz, Taaffe or Wilson would come in.

Any of the possible 17s should be good enough to beat Canberra.

I see this game as similar to the Tigers, Canberra will be determined and we need to be wary of a fast start from them. High completions ball movement and keeping the ball in play should wear them down.

A dry track is ideal, current forecast high chance of showers morning and afternoon. My gut feel, it will not take much for the rain to stay away.

We did that once in social sport after our real opposition turned up 3 hours late.

They were accounting, HR and insurance....so nearly as soft as AFL players.
