Agree.  We need to dominate the ruck and make sure that anything that does go wide does so from a standing start. We don't need to hold down, just turn their carriers around or over. And don't get drawn into a mindset where we're trying to avenge a rd 1 defeat right from the word go.

Let’s hope the kick chase is as good as last week. It’s something that has been poor even under B.A, and last week was the first time we looked intent on competing strongly for every kick. I’d also like to see more support pushing through when someone makes a break, another area we’ve been poor at under B.A. I’d expect to see Bentley back in the 17 for today based on Arthur’s post match interview last week, but not sure who he’ll be resting this week.

Maybe McDonnell rested this week?Looks like the writing`s on the wall for Frawley who I reckon we are trying to push out now.
Not interested in Hastings coming in though.

really enjoying a rare visit to H.Q.
dominating with half backs and Miller running the game. great half
 

Much better first half than last 2 games, still too many errors, think we should have had at least one other try. 

Keep our heads on the game and should be comfortable, expect Wakey will come back into the game at some point.

The loss of Miller is significant. I wouldn’t have moved Connor out of the front line, I’d have put Lumb to Fullback, Handley on the wing and Watkins in the Centre. Could have also put Handley at fullback too I suppose.

Handley should be FB since losing miller Watkins centre would have been the easiest fix and Connor is too slow at fb

We just can't keep up the line speed or intensity in defence for more than an hour.
Then we seem to revert to one man up ball and waiting for them to come to us.


Losing Miller sucks but id have put Lumb there , Handley to wing and Watkins to centre.
Keep Connor at 7.


How many minutes has Lisone played ? How long does the ref need to give them to clear the ruck ?. 

Terrible pass to guy who seems to dropnalot of ball.
Now a late hit from Bentley? Why do both revert to type when we need them to stand up as senior players.

Glad we got the points but we should never have been in that position. Some poor calls on positions and interchanges for BA to learn from as well as the players. 

Another lesson to learn is that Kendall didn't appreciate the appeals for lying on so doubled down and subsequently gave us nothing
