He certainly doesn't give too much away.

Looking for some positives...
How good was it seeing Doc running around and dashing out of defense.

The most important thing I took out of the game was Ed's mouthguard; absolutely brilliant 

I was very disappointed immediately after the game but I have convinced myself that Teague is keeping his powder dry for Round 1.  Surely that has to be it  :-\

Yes, one hopes. Teague has spoken about scoring and some players have spoken about the greater emphasis on skill work and less on strategy / planning etc that was prioritised under Bolton. So far this pre season, neither skills nor scoring seem to be improved, and Teague has been coach for about 9 months.

We'll know in the next month or two.

After footy, a political career awaits DT.

At least he confirmed that once BrisVegas turned up we had trouble adjusting to the increased attention/pressure (accountability/mental toughness?). The last thing we need is a downhill skier reputation.

Also thought our contesting was poor after half time, apart from Cripps we had a few blokes watching rather than attacking the ball and a few who couldnt be bothered chasing or tackling.
Cripps played a blinder last Brisbane game and I wondered if a few of his team-mates thought he would take over again and they could just coast to the line on the back of the captain.

Yes, fair post EB. Brisbane are a serious unit, and after the R12 match last season they would have been smarting and out for revenge, points or no points. And don't worry about Fagan. I reckon under that cheery, avuncular exterior beats the heart of an old school fire and brimstone coach. Anyone who can keep Clarkson in check has to be a little intimidating.

EB I'd add Silvagni and Walsh into that mix of blokes who had a red hot go. And Jones did a pretty good job on Hipwood given the amount of ball they had coming in after 1/4 time.

Fix things by round 1? No Chance.
So we can a line through Stocker in the short term, he is a way off being in the mix according to the Coach.
Harry not playing round 1 for certain.
Marchy getting scans, its more than a knock on the knee is how I read it.
