What game are the officials watching?
Northland now falling apart

As awful as the officials have been, we have been worse

Northland looked good just after HT. But it didnt last for too long

Poor game mgmt 1st half. Missed opportunities start of 2nd, then mistakes (lack of control and composure) then a shambles at the end.
That should be Rene’s last game. The less said the better.

@kev I think Nock is working his way out the door too, he was a huge part of that awful start...I think there are at least 4 players that have been lucky to make it (again) this season.
I dont think we scored in the 2nd half last week, and this week was 60 mins we failed to score?

Nocks charge downs have the same issue - not enough length in ruck, and he steps to side to kick. If he is going to do that he needs to start closer to the blindside. Coaches should be all over that. He needs to boss his forwards and not take the kick without those things in place.
We also had plenty of times where backs could have kicked in 1st half but didn’t.
This was by far our worst game. We missed way to many one on one tackles.

@kev TBF he has been pretty poor all season, I have hoped the pressure from LMH would be the catalyst for him to kick on and realise his enormous potential, unfortunately he has gone backwards, poor decisions, poor handling, inaccurate passes, poor kicks, think that is his 3rd charge down of the year?
He is usually the king of fucking around with the ball at the back of a ruck settign it perfectly, he is clearly struggling.
That game was just hugely disappointing, having not beaten NH since 2014, that was a huge chance, and despite the start, we were still in the game at about 50 mins.
While we had started falling apart before that awful piece of officiating where they coulda called it on 3 separate errors, that really was the nail that put us away well and truly....we just had nothing in that final quarter.
Was frustrating, any 50-50 ball, we shelled, any 50-50 NH seemed to somehow hang on, those are the little things that make all the difference.
Huge game next week now, given the way Tom, Moorby, Caird et al were running about in warm up, hopefully we have all back on deck next week to have a real crack at what is now a must win!
