Just a few questions

Best Win - Last night.
Worst Performance - Parra
Best try - SBW, to RTS to SKD last night. Which all started with great defence. Real team try.
Best back - Cant split RTS and Maloney.
Best Forward - SBW, closely closely followed by JWH.
Most improved - Mini.
Most Pleasing feature of our season - RTS, Napa, Liu, Friend, Cordner. Young roosters I just want to watch win, lose or draw.
One area where we must improve - The ruck.
Player under most pressure - FPN after his last two performances he should do that ever wknd. Closely followed by SKD who is on the improve IMO

Go Chooks!

[Spanner in the works]

Best Win - Broncos game. Our defence was unbelievable.

Worst Performance - The Parra and Warriors games in the latter half of the season. Slipped into some old habits a la Roosters 2011 and 2012.

Best try - Too hard to say.

Best back - Maloney

Best Forward - Cordner or JWH. SBW has been the most dominant player in our team in my view, but when we've needed someone to do the tough hitup or lift in defence it is invariably one of these two who put their hand up. That wins not just games but premierships.

Most improved - Friend. Not as many penalties.

Most Pleasing feature of our season - Working as a cohesive team rather than this "play what you see in front of you" thing we had going.

One area where we must improve - Hard to say. Finding grass with our kicking would be good, as would earning repeat sets. We do slip into old habits and/or lose concentration at times too. Any of those four would be a good start.

Player under most pressure - SKD or FPN are the obvious ones although I'd like to put forward Guerra as a darkhorse. Is he in our top 17 over the next 2-3 seasons?

Actiually, last night was up there for best win. That was a season definer. Depth wins comps.

I'm very surprised nobody has mentioned 'discipline' in the area where we need to improve most of all. Too many penalties are a major problem and many sides are only scoring against us this year through stupid penalties that give our opponents a good attacking position.
Kennedy is the biggest offender here from games I've seen this year.

The elephant in the room.

To be fair I think we're slowly improving.

I watch games involving other teams and there's always a shitload of penalties being blown, so its not just us.

I think it's a policing problem. The ruck is a minefield. Hands on the ball, wrestling, all that shit.

Most pleasing feature so far this season is MORALE - clearly evident as they all ran off together as a team at halftime last nite. On noticing that I knew we were going to win- our opponents looked like lost dogs
