Port looked fresher after quarter time.
We made some dumb errors and our movement from D50 to F50 was constipated. As for our forward half there wasn't enough lateral movement and we kept bombing it in.
Phillipou was running up and down in the spot after quarter time. He was knackered and had a poor game.
Membrey is very poor defensively and we can't afford that with our games plan
We miss Caminiti.
The Cordy experiment can't go on forever
Overall, we looked fatigued and errors and fumbles cost is dearly
Agreed
Membrey
1. Can’t bring the ball to ground in a contest
2. Is a liability when it hits the ground
3. Has one of the slowest brain to foot decision making skills in the side
4. Won’t lead….thinks he’s King…
5. Treacle slow
Liability
Caminiti please for gods sake hurry back..
Unfortunately Teflon you are dead right about Membrey.
He doesn't offer much if he can't mark the ball and he's not getting to contests like he used to anymore, in his attempts to take a mark.
I feared this when he came back in the side and it was on show clearly tonight, as it was for most of last year's games.
Skunk and Steele were coming off a five day break. So what you say...yeah...but they also missed a large chunk so I give Skunk some leeway
There are some obvious things that the coaches neglected when preparing for this match.
We lost it at match committee just as much as the match ups and execution on the night.
Ohhhhh... and by the way...for those criticising Skunk for not taking contested pack marks in the forward line.
Since when was he ever been our number 1 key forward? He is 188cm for goodness sake!!
Jack Steele is nearly as tall as him
Zaine Cordy is 1.95cm and Mich Owens is 191
..but hey ...it's often true that you learn more from losses, so perhaps this is the loss that we had to have.
Perhaps you need to test players under duress. My only beef is that they weren't given every opportunity to win as a team. They might have been set up to fail tonight
