The insanely easy schedule they had at the start of the season may have given the wrong impression (I.e. they’re shitter than initially anticipated…)

Sorry if this has been mentioned but the jerseys are quite hard to distinguish in the wide shots.
You didn’t forget to take your eyepatch off for this game?

I'm in the JRK has looked pretty good tonight camp too.
When you take into account it's his second game back, he's been very good. Couple of mistakes can be expected, but he's saved our bacon clearing up kicks a couple of times and been dangerous ball in hand.

I’m reticent to criticise the players overall too much… that was just a really impressive 20 minute blitz from the best team in the comp. You could look at the gameplan, but we’ve really just been outgunned by a better team.
They’ve been outgunned by everyone that isn’t a bottom two team

My eyepatch is 100% black and white so you may be on to something.

Like I said. They are bringing on All Blacks, we are bringing on super rugby squad players. When you don’t have top end players, this is the result you get.

That’s just bullshit though isn’t it? Should have beat the Canes if we got the penalty as we should have, knock on missed before the Tahs score the game winner in FT, within a score away to the Brumbies having been blown off the park, highly competitive with the Reds, but our scrum fell apart.
We were shite against the Force, and have been done tonight, but to say we have been outgunned by everyone just isn’t true.

Loosing is loosing, winning is winning. Being unable to close out tight home games against teams missing a significant amount of starters isn’t a positive.

Our top 23 is tidy. We lack a lot of depth..this result is not surprising.

And I'm agreeing. It is what it is against teams like the Chiefs. It is like being a Warriors fans and watching them get smoked by the Storm

That's my point about JRK, great quick kick and run, then just kicks it away. Has the flash skills but no smarts
Jesus mate give him a chance to get more than 1.5 games under his belt. He's also playing for a team in absolute struggle city, so he has to go overboard.
