I went Saints by 8 however for me Handley is a winger not a centre and Lisone and Frawley should not be in the 17 next week. Connor in the halves Holroyd back in for a totally ineffective Lisone. Silly penalty by Jenkins to gift them a try and a stupid offload by Lisone contributed to another try. Hopefully next season we replace both Frawley and Lisone with some quality. Fingers crossed Arthur recognises Connor`s worth and stops picking Lisone for week on week poor effort..
It seems that we always bemoan the lack of attacking structure no matter who the coach is. The same complaints were made when McClelland, McDermott, Agar, and Rohan were all here. It makes you wonder if it's actually primarily a coaching issue.
I feel sorry for BA - he has come from a competition/culture of professionalism. Where players focus on core attributes of fitness and basic skills.
Sadly the players in the SL don't have these attributes. Week after week we see players miss tackles drop balls show a distinct inability to run practiced plays and run out of gas early.
It is no surprise that England have improved with the addition of more NRL players. Until we have more competition for places and a stronger player pool this apathy will continue. Players know they will get picked every week regardless of how fit they are or how well they play
The standards of skill and fitness in SL are shocking and when compared to the NRL - where BA has previously worked - it is a pale shadow of the latter. It is no shock how few SL raised players are wanted and are successful in the NRL
Lisone has been a massive let down, was hoping for the next Kylie , got the next Feather instead.
I know I and others keep saying it but we really need a big meter munching wrecking ball prop. That would allow one of Jenkins or Palasia to move to back row with Gannon / Mcdonnell/ Bentley etc.
We could have the world's best HBs abd we would still not make a difference until we can get those hard yards abd quick PTBs going
It's a bit odd that the rest of the squad looks fitter compared to last year yet Lasagne looks less fit. He must've spent all preseason hiding in one of the laundry bags.
