Justin Horo and the forward pack

[Jerry1]

Horos game time probably coincided with us having very little ball

Kiwi that's not an excuse. Horo was fresh and on the field. Clench your teeth and go after the footy!. He just doesn't do that!

Hard to go for the ball if Parra have the majority of it, and we are spilling it consistently on tackle 2 or 3. I'm not sure exactly when he was on the field, just putting a theory forward. It's like when King got bagged for not making many metres in Origin years back, for the 1st 20mins when he was on, Qld had 80% of the ball so not much he could do there

And in the structure, you can't just run off and do your own thing or a lot of the set plays we put on are gone

I bagged the **** out of the forwards after the game. It seemed we didn't go forward at all. After the beer had passed out of the system I went back & looked at the stats.

We competed all over the field except with a couple of stats. Radradra made 200+ meters & Hayne made close to that.

DCE, Ballin & Snake were in reverse. Combined they made less than half of Hayne.

Our stars failed to fire - Thats where we lost it not in the forwards. The forwards competed with the eels forwards & weren't far off the pace.

Matai was our best with 130 meters, Killer & Watmough were up there but the rest of the prima donnas didn't earn their keep.
