Brisbane will be no push overs for any side this year. They are quick and use the ball well. However, we really let them in by our shocking kicking for goal in the first half. If you dominate but miss goals and they goal each time they go forward ... you don't have to be Einstein to work out the psychological effect. "Hey boys, we're well in this"
Our second quarter was very poor. They cut us to ribbons for 20 minutes. Team defence collapsed.
To the team's credit they turned it around in the 3rd and blitzed it in the last ten minutes.
But, we have problems. Unless we fix our goal kicking and start hitting some targets inside 50 we are going to come up short against better sides.
I'm worried about Libba. I don't see him having his usual impact.
