I am more surprised nobody mentioned Hall. He seems immune from critisism on here. He was far worse than Briscoe, whom I have seen critisised. Hall dropped the ball three times in the first 10 minutes of the match, and we were lucky one of them we got a penalty for. We talk about starts on the back foot, well that is one of your reasons there.

He did have a shocking first quarter, but helped out in the little go-forward we had. Like I said, not singling one player out as many had poor games.

I think I noticed Myler more because a few of the tries walked straight by/through him.

By too many do you mean Garbutt and Singleton? With all due respect, we shouldn't be flailing around lacking two props. Whilst we had injuries during the game that was close to our first choice backline (Handley possibly excepted).

I went to the Broncos-Roosters game on Friday, and the energy and verve shown by the young players the Broncos brought in during a genuine injury crisis just highlighted how flabby we look, and how sadly lacking our youth development has been. If nothing else I'd like to see the overall energy of the team way, way higher.

I was referring to the pack mainly.
As others have stated, Singleton, Garbutt and Mullaley would all be in our starting 17. It's not really the amount of injuries but we seem to have lost props to lengthy injuries all season with no end in sight.

Watkins injury took the gloss off the victory for me. One of our few world class players.
