Poor discipline and individual errors again, we just can't start a game well.

Having a shocker is harry smith, two wrong option's in attack, then a bad missed tackle leading to two tries conceded

Harry Smith badly exposed today thus far.

He’s one of our own Smith and you want him to do well but a four year contract was crazy. I think he’s one of the poorest halfbacks in the league from what we’ve seen this year. You can reel off at least 10 names before you’d get to wanting him controlling a team.

Few mistakes granted but I think some are being a bit harsh on Smith. He’s gaining confidence minute but minute, game by game. I’m yet to be fully convinced mind but I’m nowhere near writing him off.

O’Neill on the other hand; superb first half. It just leaves me wondering why we’ve waited so long to give him a game. His distribution from the ruck has been brilliant.

Ellis is having a good game as well, we really have missed his presence. I am worried about our centres though, there just doesn’t seem to be any strike there at all and if we shift it out wide instead of our centres creating space or hitting a gap, we’re looking to Field to do that for us.

Was interesting to see Smith run the line of the second rower and swap with Farrell. I just don’t get it with him. He’s a solid/average half back.

Our centres I think we have to accept we can only get so far this year until the crazy squad building over the last few years has been corrected.

Some better play from Smith later on in the half. A mixed bag from O'Neill as well - some smart play around the ruck but caught out of position in defence a few times. It'll be a learning process and they'll have the opportunity to improve knowing they'll be starting for the next few weeks.

Some seriously weak defence this game from us

The whole shape of the team looks off. From the timing of runners to the actual set up of each set. We aren’t getting the right width on each side of the pitch for runners to use space.

Doesn’t help with O’Neill being off and Shorrocks in at hooker. Is it really that difficult to put players in positions they play in? The ruck distribution has gone to pot and our decent offense with it.

Shorrocks isn’t good enough to play in any position for us if we want to even consider a challenge in the future. He’s a good squad filler at best.

We have got to be one of the daftest teams in the league at times
