The last month the first 20 minutes is where we have let teams run over us and we've had to play catch up. The Knights, Tigers, Dragons and Sharks. We've actually done a pretty good job for the last 60 minutes but the first 20 minutes screws us for the rest of the game.
We need to start with more intensity and mongrel.

We need to start with more intensity and mongrel.I respect all our moderators here. Past present and even future. Always have done and always will do a wonderful job.

We are conceding 24 points a game. And I bet that average is higher on our billion dollar home turf.

Originally posted by Renman View PostSo at the start of the weekend four teams Roosters, Phins, Manly and Sharkies had a chance to go into the top 8. Of those teams , three of them had a real go and then there was the Roosters.
We complain about the refs (well I do anyway) but the reality is when you lose momentum, the calls tend to go with the team that has forward momentum. We were stuck in neutral and occasionally slipped into reverse.
Whyte, Toops and Teddy were great but the others all suffered ADHD. The side does not looked balanced to me.
Collins and Lenui were poor. Bring in Makatoa or Loslau or both. Watson is not a 9 but a 14 (probably the best 14 in the world) Ieolu and ZDC are better hookers. Foketi at lock. He seems to prefer the left hand side but that is Angus domain. As for Chad, he should play halfback for NSW Cup in a Cronulla jumper.
I thought Robbo was one of the smartest coaches out there but jeez there have been a few really dumb decisions of late.
If we lose, we lose and I can live with that but that effort, or lack thereof, against the Sharks and the Tigers is soul destroying.

Now it’s up to the Roosters to decide if they want to play in the semifinals.
I am looking forward to a switched on Roosters team at Allianz this week.
I appreciate your enthusiasm but I’m not too confident against a switched on Storm team who seem to turn up to games a lot more than we do,with a comparable team on paper..
You can bet your bottom dollar the Storm will be ready come Thursday night after losing on old boys night,hope we can do the same.
