I think you'll find that's just an optical illusion caused by the length of his neck.

Technical Coach said:Pretty average game to be honest almost fell asleep. Intensity is lacking big time, go forward was poor, defence did all that was required and our attack is frustrating to watch.
I'm hoping it's a case of Dessie pushing hard at training(Usually happens around 6 weeks from the end of season for top 2-3 clubs) for a few weeks so that the tapering off period kicks in just before semi's to freshen us up.
Once again Matai offered the spark and intensity with hard straight line running at critical times to get us out of trouble---D.Williams also offers this penetration which we missed.
Noticing Foran inject himself occasionally in a more central area not often but it's good to see---i also liked how he replied to the question on the footy show about a roving roll and he seemed to hint it might be on offer in the future---or it could be that he is hinting to Des he wants more freedom.
I was worried about DCE having a bad game with the increased exposure he had on the last footy show---first year players should not do prime time media but i guess channel 9 wants young players to attract the female audience and Ballin was on last week.
We get our attack right and go forward we win this premiership fullstop. I dont really care about our defence as i'm confident in the teams ability to raise the level when required but not so in our attack.
With a second string squad last year in the Qtrs against the Dragons we never looked like scoring----with an almost full squad against the Dragons this year we never looked like scoring----our 20m to 20m matched the Dragons but red zone attack was too predictable.
Look i know we all love G.Stewart and he has great ball skills but it annoys the hell out of me the way he is cramping our outside backs.
The penalty count for most instances was deserved---when we lack go forward we start to give away silly penalties. The slowing down of the ruck is creeping back in again overly so and our go forward lacks straight penetration---Kite and his shuffle with too much ball playing is not helping our cause.

once again my friend ,heed the great axiom espoused by the greatest coach of all "simplicity is often genius while complication is the first resort of fools"-you my friend are a fool by definition.
I also notice from reading one of your shorter rants you now also support the melbourne wrestle and of course Manly cheats the cap utilizing our creative accountants.
the scum awaits you my friend.embrace them and leave some space on the forum for the rest of us.
