Playing at Accor isn't like playing at Belmore Oval. The big ground atmosphere works out fairly even as regards to supporter atmosphere.Look I'm just a fan but I've been saying our defense has been rubbish since Dymock took over as assistant, we've looked good at times but inevitably get gassed and fade late. How many times have we seen Paseka or Sipley look absolutely gassed and not get subbed until a try is let in? Then they cop a pasting for being lazy but is it more likely our interchange management is off?
I don't know who else is available but Siebold isn't as bad as some people make out, he just needs the right people around him and Jim ain't it IMO. Our attack is not the issue although it could use some polish but we can't just rely on outscoring the opposition if we want to win a comp though.
Bulldogs will be up for it on Friday given they've sold 40k+ tickets for a 6PM Friday game at Accor. I think we'll have a better idea of where we're at given it'll have more of a finals atmosphere than Leichardt on a Thursday.
