There is only so much Ando can do

From which beanstalk did you fall from?

With the players we got we should easily make top 8. Coach Ando is fully responsible for not firing up this team. Time for a new coach that brings out the best in players week in week out. Not this rubbish. If it were not for The Chosen One's performances, Coach Ando would have been shown the door long ago.

Sorry but if anyone hayne got us to the grand final. Ando had no idea what sparked last years form. If ando is such a good coach where are our set plays? All we got is the inside ball


It's a bit hard when your starting half-back wouldnt even be the third in line half-back at any other club in the NRL and your young up and comming number 7/pivot has no idea when it comes to organising a side.

Ando hasn't got the team he wonts.

And sorry Hayne didnt just get us to the Grandfinal mate, it takes 13 players and 4 off the bench even if there not as great as him, it's impossible for one player to single handedly take a team to a grandfinal

Only my opinion mate, may not be popular but i think our issue goes beyond te coach tbh.

If I hadn't seen enough of Mortimer this year then tonight iced the cake. The kid can't yet pass (to a player in a Parra jersey), kick in general play or kick for touch. However, ever week he is given the 7 jersey. He needs to go back and learn some of the fundamentals even if is going to cost us a fortune for him to do it.

Mortimer's manager was clever to wrap the contract up before the season kicked off.


It's a huge worry mate,

I watched the NYC today and the two young halves for the Roosters were brilliant. Maybe we should lure them over as they have no chance ahead of pearce of Carney.

You mean to say if hayne wasn't in that team last year we make the grand final?

These type of losses test all supporters. I just didn't need to be tested tonight.

We were smashed up badly in the forwards tonight as well. It was no coincidence that we finally made in roads when Mannah and Poore came on only for Mortimer to miss touch when the momentum was starting to swing in our favour. Moi Moi wasn't running hard from the outset and Caylo, well, I've said my piece many times before.

Woke up and read the match report.
Ouch:( I was expecting a real good win today from the boys.
Pretty poor scoreboard when you take a good look at our team on paper, but there's really no class to be blaming anyone, the team overall needs to stop relying on Hayne. Remember several weeks ago when there were eels players saying that they wouldn't rely on Hayne? Out of nowhere he starts killing teams and then they come back saying that Hayne will bring them to the GF, poor attitude from the team considering we just had the right formula for success during the last 3 games.
Less sucking up to the media and more playing, that's when the eels go good.

We weren't smashed up front at all really and haven't been to many times this year. To those of you who think Robson and Mortimer are the answers in the halves answer this. Why in those almost 5 sets in a row in there 20 metre area did Robson or Mortimer not create or try and create anything. The only person in this team who creates something is Hayne. Robson and Mortimer create absolutely nothing it's all Hayne.

And quickly Joel Reddy and MK are shocking. We need to buy some halves and a hooker urgently.
