LIVE GAME *SPOILERS* Round 2 vs Raiders

Live Game Discussion
Only positives
- Pole is a prop and needs to just run hard and straight none of this lock crap
- Galvin is trying and showing something, he has taken it on himself to steer the team
- Bula is more involved when we have the ball which is good and is running off Galvin hip by the looks of things
- Api as always
- Fainu is showing effort
- to be 12 down with only 38% of the ball isn’t terrible - despite that our sets we make more mtrs than the Raiders.


Outside of that it’s the usual brainsnap moments & usual suspects costing us

- bad pass dummyhalf
- holding on tackles and then slacking off in the middle - Seyfarth
- lack of urgency and commitment in defence - Toa
- short nothing kicks at halfway giving easy field positioning / terrible options
- offside from kick
- slacking off in defence 3 easy line breaks because of this
- forwards not muscling up
- lack of a halfback leading the team around

Anyway somehow we are 2 tries down & have shown we could fight back - if we stay within that distant I would be surprised.

It’s game one they need to show what they are made of and fight/compete. First half is done.

This game has the makings of us getting flogged however.
 
Jeez I wish he had both his brothers out there with him instead of the imposters that are out there… Seyfarth, Toa, I’m looking at you… and Sullivan has to have a bloody go FFS!
We all frustrated. Apparently defence doesnt matter to these young players.

Great summary 😎
 
Galvin too slow a couple of times down this end this half.
Missed opportunities outside him
