We need DCE. Simples!

[Bates]

Last round against the Sharks it became clear and after tonight’s performance it’s become crystal clear!

This team needs structure. An on field organising half that can control the tempo, keep things within the playing systems parameters and close games out. These unforced errors that are costing us points stem from a lack of control of the game. At times, things resemble a game of back yard footy. Everyone goes into heads up mode and we either score or turn the ball over.

We’re failing to build pressure as we want to score off every set. How often do we gift the opposition momentum. You can’t win comps playing in that fashion!

DCE play’s tonight and we win imo. Same can be said about numerous games that were in the bag only to spiral out of control and go pear shaped.

Thoughts?

Well said.

Was well against DCE until the last few rounds.

We need a skipper in the halves who can calm the farm and steer the goddam ship.

[The Real King]

You're like 5 years late on that observation.
The team has needed structure since Cronk retired.

[MKCS]

Happy to finally be on the same side, Bates. DCE will do a lot for Walker's development and whilst I'm not sure we win tonight with DCE I think we are probably top 4 this year if DCE had played every game for us this year.

Haha yeah very true.

But the keys to the kingdom have only now been handed to Walker.

Keary was still the general.

[Steakface]

I missed the game.

But 34 points against (and 30 scored) tells me the halves were not the problem.

I haven't seen the replay yet so maybe I'm missing something.

But 30 points should be enough to win.

To still lose indicates we were unbelievably ill disciplined, or with big flaws in the overall defensive structure, presumably some atrocious defence in our 3/4 line & second row.

[BTRD]

Absolute crap defense ALL year.

[Thirteen]

I just want halves who can tackle.

Agree. Walker is still playing like a kid.

[Roosterfarian]

And to double down on this shit show, blood Rodwell along side him next season.

Walker won’t win us a premiership. Long live King Sally.

[Lydon]

As much as I agree with needing DCE in the halves to steer the ship,I still believe we have more important issues to address like defense..

It’s clear as day we have issues defending teams,hopefully adding Robson somehow helps that..

You can have all the attacking ability in the world,but if you can’t defend as a unit then you’re toast..

Not sure if Trent knows how to fix it to be honest.

He knows how to talk about it and sell the dream like a master salesman,but not sure if this current team can apply it..

[Steggles]

I was against signing DCE, however like many others, I’ve seen the light. I’m starting to think that the halves post-DCE will be Savala and Rodwell.

Our defence cost us last night. We really missed NButch, Rads, Billy and Hugo. Bad timing the the latter three.

No idea what Leniu brings to the team. Target Tino if he decides to leave the Titans and get rid of this bloke.

DCE wouldn't have saved us last night if he got ruled out for most of the game. We would be exactly where we were last night.

Amazing if Toups doesn't drop that ball then everyone is sweet.

I think most of us wrote this season off before a ball was kicked.
A close loss to the storm changes nothing.
I'm convinced if we sign dce he'll just become another whipping boy. He's past it.
