What scenes of pandemonium there'll be in Western Sydney when the Giants win the flag......what atmosphere there'll be at the 'G on Grand Final day...

Both of their fans will be drunk all night.

Forward 50 entry is the biggest problem


I would agree with this.
In the first 5 games we seemed to structure up better inside 50. When the ball hit the ground we were in the right spots to shut down any run from defenders. Since that time I don't know whether it's us or the opposition are doing things differently but we just don't seem to be nailing those tackles.
Maybe our younger players have tired legs but we are nowhere near as manic with our shutting down of defenders.

The other area we just seem to get wrong is as we did last season we seem focused on kicking to the pockets. Considering we have one of the worst set shot goalkickers in the competition why make it harder for ourselves. Why not kick to the hotspot at the top of the square.

16 more inside 50s and we still lose  :banghead :help.

You should not lose games when you have more than 60 inside 50s  :banghead.

We are stuffing simple goals, simple as that. If we kicked 11.4 instead of 4.11 everyone would be going gaga - there was nothing wrong with entry, we just missed simple stuffing shots, its not like they were hard shots  ::)

I suppose it's not hard to get 60 when you just bomb it in as far as you can

I don't blame hardwick for that
but there is a systemic problem at our club with winning, and dealing with the pressure of winning..
