Love a bit of sarcasm on a Monday morning  :laugh:

I wouldn't make the 'crisis' call yet.  We were disappointing against the Doggies but they are the type of side that always bother us.  The young enthusiastic sides with foot speed will bother plenty of sides until they tire, even a top side would have had troubles with them on a large, fast & firm ground.   
We can only blame ourselves for missing several gettable set shots!  Jack kicks 2.4 that really should've been 4.2, Benny missed an easy one & wont kick too many from 70 out, Lambert missed one from right in front - there's the ball game folks!  Accuracy in front of the sticks would make us far more dangerous, instead we spray it about like cheap beer at Oktoberfest!  Set shots are something you can control & practice so I'll draw them a picture ....
This >>  i   I *)I   i   instead of this >>  i   I   I (*i  ... & we win these games!       
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!  Loud, proud & dangerous!

Yeah, only round 2, but that loss on Saturday was eerily similar to how we played early in 2014... almost unwatchable.

I like the response. Yeah its amazing how set shot kicking has really gone down the crapier in modern day football. I'm sure fatigue has something to do with it but Josh Kenendy kicked 10.1!!!!!!

We really need to convert because ultimately there is no pressure greater than scoreboard pressure.
