just do it FFS

No doubt i would love a win tonight , but i will settle for a wholehearted display and to still look to be in the contest at the 65 th minute mark
If the team isnt stung by the recent performances then we have a mighty big problem. My hopes for the first 15 minutes tonight , thats right im just hoping for 15 good minutes

• to still be in the arm wrestle after the first 6 , set for set exchanges. I hope to see us on top or at least level
• no turnover of posession
• A strong kicking game that is a major contributor to the first point. DC ME needs to take responsability for that early and have a start that befits his standing in the game, not necessarily this forum. no more effing excuses

*due to the first 3 points not having us backpeddling, a committed defence that hunts as a pack
*at least one repeat set

• a minimum scoreline of nil all or points to manly
• due to enhanced field position and posession rates good running stats , not tackling stats from our props bending the line and providing space
• DC ME to take the ball to the line twice ( big ask i know )

*DC ME ( its my new name for him ) to play like its DC Team and understand that sitting back and waiting for all the worlds to align is not appropriate and that he needs to lead and kick us back into confidence or die trying . No crabbing, no circles , but up field , putting the body on the line

If this can happen for 15 or 20 the heads may not drop, belief may start to return and we may not go into half time being spanked. Until we begin to turn this ship around with the basics, some leadership and responsibility for the roles they are employed for we are everyones bitches

Some minor fluctuations can occur of course, but anything else considering the start is non negotiable for a first grade team.

Do it for the kindy kids, do it for your mums but most of all do it for yourself because your bloody embarrassing as a unit and your letting down the ones that are doing there jobs

I wish I shared your optimism!!

Just can’t see any of the above happening to be honest.
