we have lost the hunger

twice in the last 14 minutes when behind, we walked to scrums wasting 2 minutes in the process, this is the most basic sign the team isn't hungry for the fight, happy to sit back and hope someone else does something to win the game.

3 weeks in a row we have been kept scoreless in the 2nd half a good indicator we are not fit.

players like JWH/Cordner/SBW/Maloney/RTS are shadows of the players they were last year.

as much as I love JWH the fact he came back 10kg overweight to start pre-season just sums up a lack of desire and preparation.

Summed up perfectly, great post. Toups, MOA and Liu can hold their head high

Agree with both posts. Moa has been impressive.

Really disappointed with the last tackle option at the end when JWH was tackled. Little things like that, not taking the sensible option with 2 minutes to go is really frustrating. I really thought that they would try to get another set of six but... I don't know.
I once heard that rugby league was a simple game, although, it is sometimes played by simple men.

You have got to ask how they could come up with that poor a decision when they had 3 or 4 minutes to come up with something whilst waiting for the video ref over SBW decision. Which should have been a repeat set.

To me its a lack of leadership on the part of Mini. Im not a Mini hater by any means, but he is not a Captain. A true Captain would have told his halves we must get a repeat set. Same as last week with the decision to not take the 2. Captain must show leadership.
