Right. So we lose and it doesn't mean anything over the course of the season, where the Cows win and because of the way they won, they're a mid/bottom team? I'm confident in our team turning it around, but best to wait until we string some good performances together ourselves before criticising teams that beat us.

We have looked like a team on the improve this year. We have had big gains. Yes there are still a lot of areas we can improve.
We got a score put on us but we fought back into it. They put on a score and as CGL said, they clocked off. They have looked very poor over the last month.
That's what I look at, not just the win/loss. Geeze some of you guys have such negative mindsets.
P.s. I believe this week will show more about our season/team growth than last week. How we bounce back.

I thought it was noticeable in the first half how often we had players left on the ground behind the play the ball after making a tackle. It was a throwback to our defending under Brown. It was rectified in the second half. The best example was the Robson break that led to the try to their fullback. The previous play the ball left two knights players behind the play the ball. The play the ball that Robson scooted on was noticeable because Glasby was running with his back to the play, but have another look and the original two players were still not in the defensive line. Our tackling technique didn't allow that against Penrith, Canberra. We need to get back to that.

Again off too early. Drinkwater with the playmaking ability that Mann can only dream of.
 
I just made a comment about how rubbish the cowboys are and how bad we played to lose to them last week.
 
We get our shot against Parra next week. And if Parra play like they did tonight, and we don't play markedly better than we have been, we will be soundly beaten by Parra.

We have a lot to work on ourselves. Talk about the cows taking the foot of the throat against us, is exactly what we did against Brisbane.

We need an 80 minute performance against Manly similar to our Canberra performance first. Then get Parra at home with 7500 lucky fans there and anything can happen.
