Just our luck to play them after they lose. Then again, it'll be a good test for us and a good test for our DEFENCE there coach. Remember the game is about attack and defence. I imagine the team will be the same but hopefully Kurt D starts at No.9. Then what to do about Plath or Knowles starting at No.13?

Penrith without their gun centre McClean. Might have a speed advantage over them if we can use it.

We have plenty of strike power, it’s getting it to them that’s the problem. Teams are up and in at us in defence which we are struggling with

The best team in the comp. As a sports person these games are easy to get up for. Bring your A game. I am goung to be watching our attitude closely here. Because if we are flat, theres something wrong.

Im not demanding a win, however I want to see effort, discipline and a tight game plan.

If we are careless giving away cheap penalities and making unforced errors, im going to be pissed.

And missing tackle after tackle or not organising the defence correctly so they can easily run around us.

We get hammered, and he sends the same team in with no changes.

I am going to watch with interest.

You know what the say about doing the same thing over and expecting different results.

and replace them with who on attack we b ok on defence we suck sink further if we had better defensive players they be there
 
I get the frustration and have criticized many of the players in the current team but I actually think Woolf is right not to panic and change the team every loss.

His coaching style has always been about building combinations and trust in the system, not chopping and changing week to week and constant changes don’t fix the real issues thhey just reset timing and cohesion, especially in defence and the spine. I've followed him for while and he had the same approach at Saints, where he backed the group through rough patches and it paid off long-term.
This Dolphins side is still building its identity, so I think stability is more important right now than reactionary selection changes.
