Hill takes the responsibilty.

Wish he would do that more.

Did well, nothing too worrying for mine. Need to win a bit more ball in the centre.

1/4 time
Saints 3.3.21 v Giants 1.5.11

In fairness, it’s the ball movement.

Membrey takes one after Steele moved it on quickly post a free

At least 3 other occasions we took a mark on a wing bursting forward and stopped, propped and then kicked it to a contest after they got numbers back

You would hope so with god knows how many top 10 picks over multiple years.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Why don’t Membrey and King ever lead out?

No pressure on the kick out. Just chipping it to players on the 50 and launching.

Our pressure in all parts of the field is non existent.

The GWS forwards will adjust to the fact that have heaps more time than they expect and will straighten up and kick goals

Yep you give them space you pay
They hit targets
Must pressure like mad
This quarter will be telling
We need to keep the game style on our terms
We’ve looked best when our players swing and go forward quickly from wing - don’t hold up
Still like to see a lead up forward option coming at the kicker
We look stagnant up there I reckon

Forgot he was playing...

Didn’t even notice him.

Hopefully he can get into the contest more as the game goes on
