That was unnecessary... my point was why did we play such a long-down, slow build up game for most of the time. We could have blown them away early.

Which goes back to my point on Mathews and Roos' comments during the week.

edit: and don't bother trying to extrapulate any more "reasons" for my beliefs from me. That's what I think and you can just live with disagreeing. ok?

You were the one who seemed to have a problem with my view.

Yes, in the last quarter, but it was a struggle to get there.

If Bevan was there to do a job on someone that it would be understandable. To me it seemed he wasn't assigned to anyone in particular and played mostly in the midfield, a position I think Schmidt would have offered much more.

I thought he was quite promising in that last quarter. Set up a few plays. I think the schmidt/bevan scenario is a rwo pipedream, and in reality we are looking at finals, and experience counts for a lot when contesting finals.

But again I can not really comment on schmidt v bevan. I'm just playing devil's advocate. I can only go on what I saw from bevan. Yeah he wasn't great, but, he was there and presenting himself.

Personally, I don't think he'll make it as a great player, but then again, who the @@@@ is schmidt and what has he done?

Every week has been a case 'hopefully this is the week that wakes them up'. Our form is way below this time last year.

That's called "opposition pressure". I knew when I saw the stats of 24 or something tackles by brisbane to 12 (first quarter) or so to sydney that brisbane were playing the tough game. No team can uphold that amount of pressure for such a long time. It was an awesome first quarter tackle count by brisbane. they came here to really show us up, but the young bodies just couldn't sustain it.

We played @@@@ and we still beat them by 57,so they were a lot worse than us why not belittle them they did it for years towards every one else.
