Exactly...
Our skills have been atrocious....and por kicks and handballs have set up quitea number of Weagle goals.....
Very few kicks to advantage by Saint players.
Take that alst kick to Gardi..he led let..and we kicked right...with the result that gardi infringed. a kick to the left would have beena Gardi mark.
LIFT you skils boys.
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....

Whether he kicks goals or not, he straightens us up and fights like hell to keep the ball inside our 50. He is RARELY outmarked and provides a GENUINE forward target.
In all honesty we'd have been better off with Allen than Gardiner as a forward replacement.
Good call! When Kosi got done i was very concerned at who we would bring in for him. We need a tall mobile option up forward to help Roo and that is what Kosi does! Not convinced that Gardiner can do the same job but here is hoping we turn it on and shut the eagles down! CARN THE SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!
Ross and the leadership group simply need to re emphasise what is acceptable to the entire team or the dropping of Dal and Milne will have been pointless. Every interview since they were dropped the players have banged on about what is acceptable.
It was a terrible quarter but if we get back top our values of how we want to play we will win barring any more injuries. If we lose to West Coast it means we are kidding ourselves and you can also put the tanking debate to bed.
And who is on Saker and Ebert?
A champion team will always beat a team of champions.
Classic case of work hard 4 a qtr get 4 goals up against a bad opp and then think they can go through the motions for th next 3 qtrs and get a win.
Roo must kick goals, you are only as good as your most recent performance and it stands at 1-3 * should have been 3-1.
Dal Santo is in slow mo, M Gardiner is not a forward - see 2005 Grand Final. Better placing King in square .
All comes down to intensity. Hopefully WC really want Natanui and that could help also.
Were due for a bad one but good sides win these so we wil see where we are at

Exactly great call, Kosi IMO is like Buckets Loewe when he wasn't there we had no foward options and we really went missing we need someone big and strong kicking goal and taking marks, Rooey is doing all of that except kicking goals.
