can someone tell me why they chose Sam Lousi as 18th man if they were only gonna use him in the last 10mins???
i dont know if bluey is totally to blame...
he was let down badly by some of his players today...
Pretty sure they never intended on using someone. Rapira broke down in the pre game warm up. Had to have someone there, I guess. Lousi had played for the Vulcs so no way he could play 40+ mins.
Back to the topic at hand. We don't f**king deserve to get into the 8 after that 'performance'. We had everything to play for and the players just looked like they couldn't be f**ked.
I feel like Lillyman, and to a slightly lesser extent, Lousi aren't doing their fair share when they're on the field. So many times we'd go through a set of 6 and ONE of them might hit the ball up. The rest of the time it's those nuffie, pathetic hitups from Slaimankhel, Tupou, Henry and Taylor. God it's disgusting to watch.
Packer, Matulino and Mateo did their best when they came back, but everyone else out there had given up long before.
the whole point of an 18th man is to have someone available in a case like this where someone goes down just before the game starts.
what the hell was the 18th man doing playing today?? this isn't the fricken 80's.
the only reason why i could see it happen like this was that perhaps Omar was 18th man... and with Manu injured they had to pull Sam Lousi late... and when Steve Rapira went down they had no choice....
if that was the case im not sure why they didnt pull Sam from then Vulcans game or pull a kid out of the NYC.
this isnt the f**ken 80's FFS

playing with 3 men on the bench for 70mins is not good use of an 18th man

terrible analogy...Disagree.
League is like a game of chess and the players are like pawns.
And you dont blame the pawns when you lose a game of chess.
dont get me wrong... Bluey has had a shocker...Blame the coach.
I love this forum, its good therapy.![]()
terrible analogy...
RL is a game played by blokes on the field... the key decisions are made by the blokes on the field.
if it was truly a chess game...
the halves are the ones who are controlling this chess game...
Didn't Bluey say we would play attacking football!. so why take off Mateo,Mutalino and Packer!..Dumbass coaching
you need to read properly mateAttack isn't our problem Bluey ol mate.
Some of the stuff you say is as dumb as doodieDisagree.

Comment of the week!Bluey seems to have earned the job based on an achievement in 2005, being a Kiwi and also someone you'd have a jar with.
The man has little idea how to lead an NRL side towards winning games.
They told he's a motivator. I don't see it.
He told me last week our attack was the issue, then the week before it was our defence. He tells me Omar is up to it, but he probably won't re-sign him. He has less idea about how to use a bench than a man with no arse.
