The boys will know that the game was lost in the first 20 minutes. They gave them 16 points start.
However, despite that I believe that the effort was definately there tonight.
Just need to fix up some of the silly penalties and be a bit more clinical. If we had of scored early when we had a few repeat sets we could have won.
Again, the effort and attitude was good. They MUST build on this.
The wins are coming!

And another thing, Groom looks the goods - Give him more games!

Maybe Groom off the bench. DJ improved alot tonight and he'll go 1st choice next week with Roberts (if fit) i'd say. They played with more heart tonight and against large odds

they played so well tonight, i couldnt believe it, i mean everyone believe we were going to win, sulli not scoring is such a heart break.

i know it seems as if fans are harsh, but like if the team plays good, win or lose were proud of em. the referee ****ed them tonight, the team really did play well.

DJ, Corey, Utai, SBW and Hickey were my top 5 in the game tonight

Turned the corner? Good game. Let's see how they go next week. Much improved though. Thought DJ had a good game. Groom? Not sure. Defensively was poor and went into a shell. Benefit of the doubt given he was in hospital all week.

Much, much better. Hopefully we have turned the corner and can improve on that next week.

If they bring that effort for 80 mins every game we'll beat a few teams for sure. I was really proud of the effort tonight.

Never gave up. Thats all we can ask as fans.

Groom missed a few tackles 1st half, I hope u dont think his defence was poor 2nd half.

I thought he was outstanding in defense. Had about two textbook hits on Mini which jarred the ball loose and tackled props and second rowers all night perfectly.

Also made a tremendous tackle on Delaney at the start to keep him in goal.

All those people who say he's a turnstyle must be way off the mark judging by tonight.

Haha. Thats what I was thinking. Maybe even Nathan Friend too. He or Cooper Cronk should have been selected over PJ Marsh on the bench.
