Hopefully Canberras turn around gets some decent players in the NSW team. The rise of Bird, Leilua, Croker, Aitken, Wighton and co this year should surely end the careers of Morris, Jennings and Dugan as a Centre.
Jennings really fucked it for Parra today (as always) by not passing when it was absolutely necessary deep on attack 2 or 3 times in this game. Was comprehensively outplayed by the 2 Canberra centres today. Absolutely laughable that he plays rep footy ahead of them.
Got found out on the short sides a bit today, but I think we bought a bit into our own hype so can't really tell if it's a deficiency or not. 2 seasons ago we go on to lose that game comfortably, not with this team I never felt like it was in doubt. We missed Hodgo though.
