No platform no time to shine

Our attitude was so so so disappointing and last night it was truly sad and hard to watch what has become of this once very successful team. From the cows first set, they were marching 60-70 meters with ease. And it just didnt happen once, it happened ALL game. We had zero line speed, we didnt get up into their face.We held back and let the cows roll straight through us. Its hard for ANY halves let alone 2 inexperienced youngsters to control the game or at least do their job well when you are being completely dominated through the ruck.We made hannant look good. FFS. Instead of putting the ball under your arm, head down and just look to match the cows physically through the middle and lay a platform for our younger boys we tried some dumb unusual stuff. Happened several times when we were in the cows redzone we tried forcing passes and trying miracle offloads which turned to shit. Not to mention it happened quite a few times on 1st or 2nd when we turned over easy ball in a good position. The Only forward i feel i can give a shoutout too is SST. Ive been impressed with him, boy he has a motor on him. Lets just hope JWH & Cords can fire them up when they return. Cause atm we're soft.

yeh i agree, my biggest disappointment was kane who and dylan offload a short shitty pass evans. hard and straight is what they were taught when they played under 11s and up.
i dont understand why the ref didnt check the first try where niko was obstructed by 2 decoy runners and the ref didnt check it and an exact duplicate try next and they checked that one for obstruction.

we are now underneath the radar, and there is no pressure on us to exceed any expectations.
