We looked really unfit - for the second week running, we looked like getting run over from a long way out. We also looked tentative and affected by the media chat. I think Longmire is a little rattled too. We took a massive gamble with Franklin's contract, it's started really poorly and I am not sure they know what to do about it. The Franklin-O'Keefe boxing frolic suggests that. The players just don't look as tight as they have.
Both McVeigh and Jack had poor games.
I don't think Reid should play back - it feels to me like fiddling for the sake of it. We should have picked Laidler for the extra tall back so he didn't have to.
Jetta looked OK, also McGlynn, Parker, Mitchell (although the latter two aren't quick). Another injury to Rohan. Disappointing game by Cunningham, who doesn't play hard. Very, very disappointing - last week was not a mere glitch.
