well, i think the we were due for a loss. A winning run will always end, and luckily it ended on a game with hoodoo written all over it. Also, Ryan Matterson isnt a halfback, just use SOS.

Refs were inconsistent in their rulings no doubt but we had enough chances to win that game by a few tries.
Before we can blame the refs we must look at ourselves and we were poor to say the least.
I think the game with St George may have painted over a few cracks of just how limited our attack is without Luke Keary.
It is clear that without Keary neither Friend nor Cronk know how to unlock the attacking ability of Latrell and Teddy, our two most potent attacking weapons.
Friend really needs to work on his ruck plays with Teddy, this is Teddy's bread and butter and its criminal that we have a million dollar fullback who has his potential capped because his partnership with our dummy half is almost non existent outside of a grubber kick close to the line.
Cronk needs to work on his selective passing, you can't just keep hitting lead runners all day long its just too predictable. It took 78minutes for Cronks first pass to find Latrell, that is inexplicable and he really needs to start taking some ownership of our attack in yardage sets when Keary's not there, we were so predictable all day.
Our defence was exceptional though, lets not lose sight of that.
I still think we are as good a shot as any at this premiership but this arvo showed up some real attacking flaws in our game. Maybe a bit of a blessing in disguise because Keary being out has exposed a few things that if we can improve on hopefully elevates us to another level.

If not then probably not.
We didn't struggle for yardage up the guts or teritory today, I thought all the middles were good.
It was our execution in attack and variation that let us down.

we got beat coz of a crappy call on Jake. Pump up. It's just a flesh wound.

Not a fan of a spare man sitting on the bench not getting a run,like the rest of us I guess..
