An incredibly disappointing performance and so many players out of form so even if players come back in I don't think it will help much what is needed is a change in form of several senior players
I think it shows the lack of depth at the club and all the trading out of players has taken away those games played for the club, it would be good to still have a Miles/Bugg/Barrett type around but they left for the opportunities and money on offer which the Giants could not match
Kicking in the first quarter was shocking and again still throughout the game kicking long. I would like the guys to target short kicks to maintain possession for 2-3 minutes a quarter and then wait for the opportunity to open but whether the defenders have the kicking skills

Didn't get to watch and will not catch up.

Line in the sand game for the season coming up

On paper you think our backline is the best part of team? It's not. Maybe an argument could be made based on performance but given our injuries it's not exactly solid.

Paper matters very little in a results based game... And the backline's results have stood up as the best line in the team

Agree about the backline. I refuse to blame them when our inside mids got creamed when it mattered in the third QTR. Their forwards are quality and if their mids are on top they will dominate

Hopper didn't just touch up Cunnington:

Presumably Hopper was trying to get past an ump who was standing in his way to the ball?

It would appear so, both being deemed careless, though it's still reasonably early in the land of the elite administrators, could see both fines appealed yet

(Edit) For not being close enough to death penalty, as opposed to existing

I'm pretty sure I remember one of them - basically backed into the umpire while the ball was dead.
