Re: 2012 Rd 19 V Titans: Game Day and Post Match

so really, does anyone seriously think this is acceptable....

still, we could wing the 2nd half, which would be grounds for contract extensions all round.....

Re: Our fringe players

D.Low....i have seen a lot of TC over the years, and to be honest he has always had significant defensive issues, and was regularly exposed in the TC......Given our current defensive frailties, I'd hate to think what a left edge of Low, Croker and Williams would present.

Re: 2012 Rd 8 V Sharks: Game Day and Post Match

To my mind it is very simple. We have built a team and structure around forward domination, but here we are yet again being dominated by smaller, more mobile forwards. This then leads to the complete breakdown of our game, and the results are there for all to see. The players can only play to their ...

As the head coach DF rightly received the plaudits for the brilliant game plan against the tigers, and also received the brickbats for the rubbish game plan against the cowboys.

Re: The way we attacked tonight...

For mine it was definitely the patience, and the willingness to stick to the game plan when things came unstuck at the death. As we all know the raiders of old would have panicked and forced passes releasing the pressure. All good things come to those who wait...and lord knows we have waited :thumbsup
