Absolutely disgusting performance. They had a round 27 bye so that’s 6 months off.
I can only hope the occasion and the modified field attributed to the performance on attack. No idea what happened to defence.

I’m actually starting to think that this team is never going to come right.
Playing with pretty much a 2 much bench.
Where actually does this team go from here?
We have team to play an example off but we just simply lack the players to implement that game plan.
I’m almost ready to rule out this year completely

Pros:
- RTS showed his class.
- Vaimauga needs much more gametime. Halasima too.
Cons:
- Niukore is done. Gets bent when he runs, got fended by Ethan fucking Strange on defence.
- Ford needs to be fired into the sun.
- CNK, thank you for your service but I think your time might be nearly up.
- Webby - atrocious use of the bench. Left the young guns off for way too long while our pack was getting dominated.

We play the storm d-team and think we’re ready. Ricky’s team turned up
My initial thoughts are
We need to work on our Defence
We need to work on our Attack
We need to work on our bench use
We need to work on our Defence
We need to work on our Attack
We need to work on our bench use
Well, The last time the wahs will ever see Vegas.
My thoughts on this team and it's not looking good........
CNK- tries hard but average player
Taine- electric player, needs to be in the half's or fullback...wasted on the wing
Leiataua- star player in the making but still very raw and learning
Pompey- backup first grader at best
RTS- was a gun player but past his best now.
CHT- backup first grader at best
Metcalf- already reached his ceiling and it's not very high unfortunately
Fish- great leader for the young guys and decent player but he's no AFB and gets put on his back a bit.
Egan- only a decent hooker when the forwards give him the go forward which ours lacked in this game
Jackson ford- backup first grader at best, wouldn't be in my 17
Capewell- way past his best and to slow
Niukore- he should be a damaging 2nd rower but to lazy and disinterested
Barnett- good leader and decent player but he's no dangerous tackle breaking prop
Clarke- Decent player and handy to have in the 17 but nothing special.
Walker- in my opinion the only decent player on the field today. As soon as he came on he changed the attack and gave a bit of variety.
Vaimauga- will be a star in the future but is still raw and doesn't get enough game time thanks to webbys bench rotation.
Big leka- same as Vaimauga,will be a star in the future but still very raw.

Unless we make drastic changes to 9,11,12,13 and our bench use, then we are done for the season.
If that happens then I hope it’s Webbys last.

So bad……..
It’s going to be a looooong season
Fix the halves and we fix many of our problems

Worst R1 loss in their history. We love an occasion don't we!
I'm all in on Webby and the development strategy, but two things need to happen for our forseeable future
1. Someone has to get throught to Webby about his bench use.
2. We have to have some fortune in the player market to sign a couple of mid-tier signings.
That defence though...
