Cheers, appreciated.

God knows how those passes were missed after all the ones that were spotted.
Re. Burgess and Marshall, I thought Burgess played like he was expecting to get hooked off while Marshall played like he desperately didn't want to get subbed.
I really hope Burgess can rediscover his spark but he looks miles off the pace at the moment.

He had a brainstorm at that moment, thinking he was back at Paramatta and that all the flyers were going to come charging through. But then he realised that he was at Wigan, where most of the strikers were still in bed.

Is it just me or do we still look a million miles off?
Do we still look flat in attack for large spells of the game?
Do we still have lapses in defence and let in tries which we shouldn't if we're going to challenge for a run at the GF?

Have we still only had one 80 minute performance all season? v Cats?

I was hoping with the buzz around the club with the new signings and the break post CC would see a reinvigorated side come back and really start to click. 2 games back and we still don't look anywhere close to being a contender.

I actually think Wire, with all their issues and missing players will turn us over next week.

I agree with all of that.
I'm just relieved that we are safe and a playoff place will be an unexpected bonus to effectively a transitional season.

Apart from a lack of top class props we over rely on TL defensive qualities at the expense of an attacking option in the halfs. It's obvious Lam doesn't rate Sammut so we are stuck with 2 halfs who don't complement each other and a poor kicking game.

I desparately want to beat wire next week but unless we significantly improve our attack then we will probably fail again against a top 2 side.

Areas where we seem to be struggling still is possession in the opposition twenty. It's dire at times with a little bit of clueless thrown in.

Fifth and last. Tommy's aimless bombs are just awful. A good kick and chase to the corner with the ball finding the floor is basic stuff but we might as well at times just hand the ball over.

Any coincidence that our relapse in performances at the same time Sammut isn't getting a look in again?

Sammut needs be our 7 if we're to have a chance, we're a much better team with him in the side.
Powell and Leuluai can fight it out for the no.9 shirt.

What happened to Sarginson

Lam said he had a couple of niggly injuries.

I’d still say our biggest issue is ill-discipline and silly errors. When we have the ball, I always feel there are scores in us but we give up far too much possession. High shots, off side, not square, forward passes, basic knock ins are all impacting on the amount of possession we have. If we cut all that out and made teams defend more, they’d tire and we’d run rings around them.

Away on holiday at the moment and missed this game. Another good result in the bag. Next weeks game v Warrington is crucial, if we have realistic hopes of finishing 2nd. I’d be happy with 4th to be honest given the beginning to mid season, so to finish 2nd would be some achievement IMO.

2nd would be fantastic but realistically there isn’t a great deal of difference between 2nd and 3rd. I do think getting in the top 3 is important though, as there is a massive difference between 3rd and 4th.

It’s amazing to be able to get a bit greedy considering when we played HKR away a couple of months back it felt like a relegation battle.

I think we are ill-disciplined. But I think it's also more than that, like my original post, I see a team lost in attack for large portions of the game, we are also still leaking soft tries.
Overall I can only think of one 80 minute performance all season. I think our general play has decreased significantly this season compared to last. The acid test for me is Wire. It's the perfect game at the perfect 'level' to see where we're at.

Wire are depleted and have a cup final to think about, if we can't beat them this coming week; it's not looking good.
