Couldn't be bothered reading the match day thread. I got home to watch the engrossing second 35 minutes. Had to take a pill to chill the excitement. Gee we are shit.

The good news, the Emu's gave Yeppoon a bit of a touch up 20 to 10. Nek week a rematch finals game 2nd against 3rd.

Didnt watch the game but just watched the highlights.

Every Souffs point came from a dodgy decision.

Wighton absolutely milked the penalty. Sharks players didnt even have a hand on him with his exaggerated dive.

Teig played at that! FRO

Last try wasn't close to being on the line.

Ok, I'm not going to read the thread, but I am going to ask a few questions:

Did anyone else see us plying like it was a training run?
That's how I saw it.
The 4th plays always did the same, no variation, like lets see what happens.
Defensive patterns the same
Keep them out.
Last try by them was BS, but hey it only affected for and against.

I honestly feel that they were practising certain plays in circumstances .
I could be wrong, and I have been many times, but really thats how I saw the way we played.

Yes. I felt he didn’t want to show them any set plays to be honest.

We could have done with talakais finesse a few times.
Despite Damien not being that great again, JR and ST are the best centres we have currently fit

9 are trying to fit into 8 and we have easily the worst points differential.

If they were playing like it was a training run that was the wrong call.

I saw them as being completely bereft of ideas in attack.

I struggle to think of a game where we dominated with possession, run meters and attacking opportunities to only score 2 trys.

All it takes is one player to come out the line and our players shit themselves because they're unable to read the game and only able to run that 1 robotic backline play. Though if trindall did try a kick or a long pass he'd probably throw an intercept or flog it over the deadball line, he is really playing like utter crap.
I love Tricky but his form has fallen off a cliff. Yes his bombs are sweet and his defence is solid but his choices in attack over the last month have been pretty diabolical. Nicho has actually been far better than him over the last month or so though the bar is set pretty low by Tricky atm.

You know you are on a winner when the million dollar half with no kicking game is slightly less shit than the other guy whose only redeeming feature is a decent kicking game.

I’m not pissed at the performance.

Our middles rolled through them all game and Munro dropped every f**ken bomb that we kicked.

It was so easy it almost made it impossible to move away from.

All season we have criticised forced passes, rushed footy, short kicks into legs and not going to a teams weakness.

I can't go along with the training run call.

I only watched the 2nd half and it was obvious to me that they took the field with Plan A, and when things got tight they reverted to Plan A and when we needed to step on it and not allow Souffs NSW Cup team back into the game when went straight to Plan A.

We played like a side that didn't deserve to be anywhere near the top 8.

Imposters along with about 5 or 6 other sides still in the fight for the finals.

It has been one of the shittiest comps I have watched in a long time. Absolute crap some of the games.

I didn't mean they treated it as a training run, I meant it as exactly as you said. The same plays again and again, like they would in practice until they got it right.
It was a very strange game plan

Fitzgibbon touched on it in the press conference that they were really focused on their attitude being right, most likely after the roosters game in Gosford. It felt like they were so focused on their attitude being right and not f**king up that they played so within themselves. Other teams lost this weekend that should have won. We got the 2 points, that’s all that matters. They know they weren’t great, but credit also needs to go to Souths. Regardless of the injuries, they had a red hot dig. Look at the forwards back on the Ronaldo/Kennedy line break towards the end of the game.

Bubbs it was a shit game plan if that was it. The dickheads should of been chasing as many points as they could get during the game. Yes of course lock up the win but there was a golden opportunity to kick some arse last night.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that the for and against is going to get you into the eight in what the next six rounds.

Anyhow if the boyz are happy to keep producing that style of shit then the top eight wont even enter the equation.
