Brooks d and effort was good. I'm happy with effort. Last year it would have been 50-0.I’m not. Attack was awful. Forwards were great. Halves weren’t.
Did U really think we would win that? Building nicely for 2024. 🙂
@dirty-reds Top of the table v bottom of the table.... I'm happy with that effort.
Score line flattered south’s obviously. The first 2 south tries came the set after a Tigers mistake which is an issue but otherwise the defensive effort and structure is really excellent. As good as a Tigers team has looked in defence since Cleary. Red zone attacking structure absent again which is very confusing given we are playing a yardage game without offloads (conservative). We had 6 sets worth of tackles in the red zone and I don’t think I saw a single play that looked it was planned. It’s really confusing that this part of their game doesn’t appear to be progressing at all.
Not with the current halves we’re not. 2024 will be the same old, same old, unless better halves are recruited.Brooks d and effort was good. I'm happy with effort. Last year it would have been 50-0.I’m not. Attack was awful. Forwards were great. Halves weren’t.

Never looked like scoring to be honest. so, we were always just trying to hang on/ keep the score respectable.

doesn’t matter if we thought we could win it. We had opportunity to win it. The reason we didn’t is our red zone attack is impotent

You’re not wrong Mike our attack by our halves is absolutely atrocious and so confused in the red it’s beyond embarrassing.
It’s not up to NRL standard and it’s what’s stopping this team from progressing and being a top 8 contender.
Didn’t use the ball and only played for 70 minutes. The effort was there but silly mistakes let us down. Tupou tackling the man in the air and Bateman dropped ball were crucial.

I appreciate your thoughts however personally I’m getting tired of being “happy with the effort”. Been saying the same thing for over 10 years
@mike 2024 might be
7. Shaun Johnson
6. Brooks
the way Brooks defended wouldn't be unhappy with that. He saved a couple of tries. We had a plan to play in the forwards and block latrell out of the game we did that for 65 minutes
That same effort and we beat cowboys and raiders I reckon
True ALR but still I don't care.
I'm happy with that performance. Lower your expectations to meet the position of our side atm and you shouldn't be disappointed.
We are building and certain areas like what's been pointed out (which is obvious) has to be improved, but atm I feel we are improving.
If we are improving week after week then I'll be happy. I'll probably eat my words at the end of the year...hope not.
What do you mean, how long have you or anyone been saying "happy with that performance".....not for a long time I suggest, not from a realistic point of view anyway.I appreciate your thoughts however personally I’m getting tired of being “happy with the effort”.

Last year we prob got belted 50-0.
During the off season all the talk was about moving the ball around and now we just don't do it. The attack is so predictable. Need to find that balance between the conservative play and trying something
Offloads offloads offloads. We just don't attempt them until it's too late. That's where we will see Brooks and Bula carve teams up.
Why aren't we off the ball carriers hip and why is the ball carrier not trying to offload?
We don't have the class for sweep plays. Not until we get skill like Shuster.
@crowsnest for the last 10 years when ever we play well against a top team and lose we’ve been saying that. Yes there have been some 50 point floggings in there but we’ve also been saying usually we lose those by 50 for a number of years now as well.
