Four from Eleven, Griffin is a dead man walking.

[GongPanther]

I just watched the press conference. Suggest you all do the same. Tell me if I am dreaming but I can't help but read from Griffin's face, tone and body language that he has lost confidence in himself (so the lack of confidence will now be running from the coach down).

I found him to be positive and upbeat about the future.

He does concede that ATM things are not rosey,and in time will improve.

 

[Panther Pete]

Today we looked like a team that hadn't trained together, players running across field, backwards, bumping into each other and no attacking structure whatsoever. To make matters worse we played an average team that played poorly and we still couldn't win. If this continues (and I can't see any encouraging signs at the moment) it will be very interesting to see what Gus does because surely he won't tolerate this crap for much longer.

 

[Frankus]

In the words of Gus "Dear oh dear oh dear".

Drop Tamou, Moylan, Merrin and Cartwright to Reggies. They don't deserve to wear the jersey. Promote the obvious choices to replace them and give Wallace the C.

We've got nothing else to lose. We lost our dignity at Penrith Park last weekend.

The man is delusional then.

This. Our work in the 20 was atrocious. There was no coherence. No off the ball runners putting the defense in two minds leading to the man with the ball being easily dealt with. Players tripping over each other or crabbing sideways. Awful to watch. If be disappointed watching it as a neutral, as a fan it's disgusting.

Moylan tried his guts out today, he does every week. Teams are just finding it easier to handle him now.

For us realistic sad souls, which bandwagon are we jumping on? Has to be Sharks again for me or....as bad as it is Mick Gordon with the Roosters

Mick Gordon getting a premiership makes the Roosters winning palatable. We are not doing shit this year, that much is certain.

 

[age.s]

I love Flash but I'd rather gouge my own eyes out than watch the Roosters win a premiership.

If I had to jump on a bandwagon it'd be the Dragons. McCrone winning a premiership would be great for the lulz.

Griffin should never have been signed in the first place.

(and I can't see any encouraging signs at the moment)

I found the final 15 minutes to be encouraging. All we really needed was to hang onto the pill and we would have won that game from 18 down. I'm expecting better on Thursday against a side that expect to only need to turn up.

 

[umina panther]

Griffin needs to be sacked today or Gus should be punted as well.

I certainly admire your optimism Frog but saying all we needed to do was hang on to the ball and we would have won is a bit like saying all I needed to do was study harder at school and I would have been a neurosurgeon.

 

[umina panther]

We are going to lose a LOT of players if Griffin stays. Couldnt blame them at all

 

[Scotty003]

Was hard to watch. Cleary is trying hard but is obviously being coached a certain way.

If you watched him come through the system and even last year, he had a much better kicking game and had a lot more options in attack. The fact Griffin coaches them not to kick in-goal on the last is ridiculous.

We had 2 repeat sets in the last 15min from 2 in-goal kicks (1 coming from Wallace and the other coming from Hiku I think it was - none from our halves.)

We looked more dangerous with Cartwright in the side however our forwards have been dismal.
We absolutely need Kikau in the side. Browne and Leota are a waste.

To have peachey come on with 8min to go in the 2nd have is beyond me. One of our best attacking weapons and the guy is getting a cold on the bench. Yeah, nice work coach.

Practical options to get something out of 2017 now that we cant make the finals. All involve Griffin being sacked 9am tomorrow.

1.Brennan takes over
2.Ciraldo takes over
3. Gus mans up and takes over for the rest of 2017
4. Wallace captain/coach
5. Everyone from LU gets a turn to coach each week

I'm gonna keep Hiku in just to f**k with the rest of you. Might play him starting second row.

 

[soc123_au]

I'd like to see Brennan given the gig. Now the Tigpies have Ivan its too late for an apology there. If Brennan looks the goods then happy days. Failing that I'd be enquiring if Toovey has a return to the NRL get out clause.

 

[Mr Angry]

lol Hiku, what a shyte singing.

I take no pleasure in Penrith doing bad, Broncos, Souths, Manly f**k yeah, but not the pennies.

1.Our reserve grade is not exactly setting the world on fire, so I'm not sure Brennan is up to it.

2.Ciraldo's only claim to fame is with our 20's, and anyone (except poor Trent) can get them firing.

3.According to the rumours Gus is already involved in the coaching, and if that's true it's not working.

4.Wouldn't entertain this one. Wouldn't be much better than 5.

6.Give Jason Demetriou whatever he wants or needs. The guys been brilliant everywhere he's been.
