Big 3rd quarter needed, will have been a focus this week from coaches and players how half time is dealt with. The fact we are behind should help urgency.

NIck Hind has been great and Rowan Marshall good, the other eight out the best ten are GC players.

Suns travelled and had one day less to recover.

Quite a few players need to lift. Jones 4 possessions, Membrey needs a rocket up his clacker lately, King needs to mark, Long needs to touch the ball, Ryder's nowhere near it, etc.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

We've got used to Ryder giving us silver service. He's getting beaten so we're getting beaten. Mids are going to have to work harder.

Don't give them that out longtime, GC played after us & looked dead on their feet last match. We have thought we are good enough to go at half rat power. We are no where near that good.

Zak & Membrey need to lift this quarter, between them they can be the difference.

Should that be half Ratts power. :)

Gresham and Billings have been getting their hands on the ball and at least look up for the contest. A lot of players we usually rely on aren’t up for the contest tonight. Should have rested a few.

Come on Saints - for the third quarter we want 16 minutes of focused, intense football. Premiership quarter!
Make it happen Saints.

End to end goal. Great skills.

Do you think there was a bit of bathwater drinking during the week? You have to respect these guys on their own dunghill
