We to capt run this morning thanks to a little Birdy player telling me the time it was on
Observations
A lot of work defending
Munny is definitely playing (unless I’m a bad judge)
Jonah is starting
Tyran on the bench
The bench named is who will play
A lot of balls going wills way
Tom and George getting into everything …Bellamy was calling George’s name a lot
4 maybe 5 guys are going to PNG with the Easts tigers …George Tom Kane Cole Tristan going to brissie tonight
The 6 falcons boys have a bye they had to do extras after training was over
Tepai was the only injured player training (rehab) said he is 2/3 weeks away he said apart from him it’s only Dean NAS and paps injured
Had a really good chat with Rome …he is pissed he got 2 …he wanted to take 1 but the clubs lawyer said he had a case believed he could win …he said next time he is taking the first option no matter what ..

Well, after last night, I don't feel so bad about our start to the season. Penrith, the deadset locks for a threepeat (if you listen to the media) now share the same w-l ratio as Melbourne.
Does it excuse some very ordinary defensive efforts by the storm? No. But it does show that teams are definitely aiming up and coming out hard against the good sides. Parramatta 1-3, cows 1-2, sharks, 1-2, bunnies 1-2, and the roosters are pretty lucky to be 2-1 really. So that's both of last years grand finalists, the 2 red hots of last season and the chooks, who were being talked up as premiership faves during the preseason all more or less level pegging with Melbourne.
After the last 2 weeks, hopefully the boys go hard against the tigers and put in a solid performance. 2-2 isn't great, but it'd be a lot better than 1-3

Exactly. Also, it’s better to have losses like these now than late in the season.Lennart Bedrager wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 7:43 am Well, after last night, I don't feel so bad about our start to the season.

At least with issues the team finds they can address them and move forward.
On that note - it would be awesome if the guys started well tonight by scoring early and maintained focus.
Hughes is worth probably 12 points per game, he is a huge loss and id be putting the house on Tigers 8+, with a pack like theirs they will eventually click and should steam roll us down the middle - I am a realist.
Were in good hands with Pezet. If paps is out for even longer I'd happily move Munny or Hughes into FB and Pezet in the vacant halves position. Meany to be dropped as the unlucky man.
Warbrick showing us his stuff is grouse.

It’s hilarious the tigers had the opportunity to let Brooks leave and they decided against it. He’s been a top 3 player for us.
Munster is really leading from the front. Wants the responsibility and is being rewarded.
