Demps mentioned it earlier. Mongrel needs to be our middle name. Leave bruises. Klemmer and Seyfarth to come on in short violent spurts.
Millers only playing for 20 minutes in reggies.Hr needs more time on the field before first grade.
The forwards have not been the problem they have the right to keep there positions. You would swear to god we got lapped. Our problem is scoring points and in that department we don't have alot of better options
Prior to Bulldogs game the forwards have held their own and did so in the first half in Saturdays game. We can't score points and don't capitlize on our opportunities which puts pressure on defence. Possession swung in the second half in favour of the Bulldogs they got points on the back of that. Add that Latu is not a DH, and strong teams have a lot more go forward from there back 4/5 than we get from ours.But the forwards are part of our problem.
They aren’t going forward.
They’re working hard in defence but they’re not getting us forward, play the ball speed is sluggish and 2nd phase play doesn’t exist.
Bench rotations have negative impacts.
The halves and backs don’t get the ball because they aren’t getting the space / us on the front foot to use it (even if they focused on attack)
Our Payne Haas hasn’t made 100mtrs for weeks now. Last week Fainu made the most meters of forwards at 103 which wasn’t even top 25 in the NRL. We don’t have a forward in the top 25 for forward run meters either.
We actually do have a forward issue.

It was an evenly poised game and certainly not the best performance from our forwards and individually some below average stats but we had more than enough opportunity to win the game.
All for strengthening the squad in the forwards -I think people are caught up in our fast start to the year. We don’t have another level but all the other teams do.
Bulldogs game we should’ve won.
The 2nd half we came out totally switched off and effort areas were terrible. Our forwards got totally dominated against. Heck at one point no forward was willing to take a run off Galvin.
Stefano our forward leader isn’t leading hasn’t for weeks, right now Pole is out performing him. Klemmer is struggling and Bateman puts effort in but isn’t effective. Add to this Twal and Seyfarth who also aren’t effective forwards & I just don’t see it.
Last few weeks we have been spanked off the park in 10-20min spurts, when the other teams pick up a level and our forwards just don’t have another gear in them.
People say our attack sucks, yes it does but our halves and backs have zero space due to the forwards just not dominating around the ruck, quick play the balls, tackle breaks and 2nd phase plays. Every game we play the opposition is up by the time the ball gets to our halves or Bula let alone centers/wingers who catch a cold outside of kick returns. This is because of our forwards not dominating.
Guess will have to agree to disagree.
I think our forwards who outside of Fainu we had last season aren’t as good or aren’t coached to be effective as some think which is a big reason why we lose most the time.
Stef wants to be at a winning club as one of the forward leaders he needs to play his partAll for strengthening the squad in the forwards -
But stats will show the work rate of the current lot against most teams that we have played have been similar in meters and D, apart from the last game which werent great and yet we were still in the game till the end.
We have been in a position to capitalise on good field position in most games and have failed putting more pressure on D and we crack.
Other teams we have lost to, do capitalise on the back of their opportunities - we haven't apart from the Sharks game.
I just think the difference between a good forward and a bad one is mostly effort and for their effort this season there has been little reward. I can't bag them for that. Have they provided a platform for us to compete in most games - from where I sit -yes.
No argument about Stef he has gone missing the last two weeks and the question is why.
