Lack of basic skill when the pressure is on. Question was asked early in a thread , what sort of player do we need, well it's been answered again, we need well, some like Kennedy, a big CHF who can demand the ball, his 3 goals making a big difference. We don't currently have a forward line with the skill & aggression that makes a difference. We got away with it when Betts & Garlett were there, but let's be honest the cupboard is bare

Without doubt, the major mistake we made was playing Clem Smith as a sub. It was a punt that he wouldn't be used until later in the game when the heat was out, speed was down and his fresh legs were good to go.

When picking the sub, the question needs to be asked, 'Is this guy physically and mentally able to see out a whole game?'  95% of the time I think our subs are. This time we tried to be too cute and it backfired!
I am thinking another major mistake at the selection table was in not going with a back up ruck option , having to use Rowe & unsettling the side as much as it did.

Let's give Jones a few games to find his feet before we bury him. Not really the best game to make judgements. Let's be honest , the players we lost from just last year , Waite , Robbo, Garlett , we haven't picked up anyone to "take" there spots

Does anyone feel it's strange that we all were happy that Rowe had a break out season last yr at CHB , so first game this year we change the structure so he is the back up ruck, so we have to restructure what was working ? I assume it was to fix the forward line & fit in Jones & Jaksch, but seems silly to change one of the few positives from last year.
