Hmmm...Fitz, perhaps dropping shyte players you can do.

I doubt it, I have many doubts now.

I expect the same jokers next week.

So we’re 0-3 in Magic Round now and all 3 have been home games we’ve been forced to give up.

Let’s hope the NRL ‘punishes’ us next year and makes us miss out on this magic round by giving us a bye.

Hynes gave Freddy just the excuse he needed to not pick him for Origin. Luai did nothing in the earlier game but Nicho was a deer in the headlights tonight.

Why is it always our home games. Surely the NRL should be onto that

Oh wait

They made us play the game faster than we could handle. They did everything fast including, very importantly, getting off the tackles fast and running back fast to reset fast and we couldn't adjust our attack to get into shape fast enough. Threw all our processes into the toilet.

How can you lose a game when 12 of your players have PTB speeds under 3 seconds. Most weeks, most teams pray for that to happen but they get it through wrestling and other techniques, not simply by being allowed to get up and go.

To be honest that's a pretty unpredictable tactic and we certainly didn't have a Plan B to counter it.

Fitz outsmarted by the old fossil

Maybe it's a factor, I don't know. I can't see why they don't just have 2 Qld derbies in Magic Round. Being honest, I don't think that many interstate fans go up and with 50,000 loonies cheering on the 2 headed teams every outsider is at a disadvantage. So, let them cheer the 2 headed teams in the last game on Saturday and Sunday.

Absolutely it's an advantage

McInnes made 59 tackles and had 12 runs in 53 minutes. Not a bad knock really.

Tieg only forward over 100 metres with 106.

Sifa huge with ball, 248 metres, but that left edge is defensively average.

All in all, we got bashed through the middle again by an average team that was more energetic

Dale and Wade looked old, although Wade might be a chance to get back on the edge. Tieg to the bench and Williams dropped. JW was terrible.
