That's it for me. I'm off to mow lawns. Better than putting up with this cr@p.

Staggered that our lack of scoring was so well highlighted last yr & seems to have had zero improvement this year?

I've been banging on about that for months.

I don't think we've overlooked such a glaring weakness since we overlooked Talia in favour of Lucas.

We're the only team in this JLT series that has been pumped twice in a row. Most of the other games have been competitive.

The only thing this game is achieving is the destruction of confidence, player and supporter.

Bolts is a crafty bugger. I would not put anything past him. He seems the perfect type to try a technique like foxing. Then again.

Bolton is untested as a tactician....great educator of young players but still a novice in terms of game tactics and he too is finding his way in this area IMO.

WTF are they trying to achieve? I just can't believe the coaches would send them out there just to swan around and not try??

Depends what they're trying to do. We can see they're not working hard. 4pts aren't at stake. We were pretty crap last pre-season but the first half of the season was pretty good.

This is definitely headed for a 100+ point demoralisation. Just the kind of result we need in the preseason - NOT!

Hopefully we'll see our best available 22 next game and they do a LOT better! This game will highlight most of the delists for this year no doubt.
Reality always wins in the end.

Weitering did not get better in the second half. He in fact got worse and has now started to resemble a blind man playing without a bell in the ball. Cannot hold a chest mark. Took 3 goes to pick up a stationary ball off the ground. Then kicks straight to the opposition.

Yes, that's a very fair point EB. I was just trying to cheer myself up somewhat. I'm keeping to my standard policy of withholding judgment until the first few rounds of the season.

The umpiring did not get any better in the second half.

That's the confidence sapping I was talking about at work.

The problem is this confidence sapping effect can be season lasting, you need to give players a little win in pre-season, we are not giving them a cracker!

These sprouts we keep hearing about are looking very dried out at the moment , hope there is some magic juice about to refresh them
