Defensively Gildart would have to be the worst back in the competition
Probably the worst pommy back to come to Australia prior to that John Bentley played a few games for Balmain in late 1990's from Halifax he was dreadful tooHe’s one of the worst centres I’ve ever seen. Madge selecting him over Peachey is stupid.
Agree with you both! Peachey really is out of favour... hopefully Madge releases him from the naughty corner so he can take Gildart's position. Unfortunately Oliver has let in an easy try in each of the last two games by rushing up when we're defending our line, madness!
We are really down on troops and it showed today.
Is it as simple as if we desperately missing decent centres and Laurie at fullback?
The other that we need back is Simpkin. Either to start, or come on to relieve Liddle. He would have been great to come on yesterday with his energy and engagement from dummy half (instead of Madden).
Madden is barely NRL level and is terrible off the bench. Benchies should provide impact which Jake would do but Madden does the opposite! He is way off NRL pace as a sub' and offers little if anything. If Jake is fit he should be there, if Madge insists on playing a smaller guy off the bench.
I was at the game and I thought we were good. definitely the better side.
We were well organised and the effort was there but it’s obvious we lack a strike centre.
Ken back in if fit
AJ and Peachey to the centres. Gildart on economy back to England
Garner back to the bench with Simpkin. Madden to nsw cup
Dragoons goal line defence has been excellent for the past two weeks Rorters struggled to score for long periods in their 20m zone with all their class at disposal..
I know it’s hard to admit but sometimes the other team does good stuff too…
Yep that's how I saw it. We lacked a bit of class through injury and what not to ice the game, but the Drags were good at withstanding what we threw at them and its no embarrassment losing to them given the tough brand they are playing.

Just about perfect mate.
