The place needs to under go a massive clean up of personal...Were the new transit lounge....

 

[millersnose]

Haha

He butted him because he was frustrated

 

[cb4]

Well, that was terrible.
Back to the hotel with the only positive of the day being Albert Kelly playing well.
Hope he is ok.
Scratching my head for answers but there are none.

[roboshark]

a flogging for us and the knights flogging penrith

[The Masked Avenger]

I reckon we are just lulling the merged scum into a false sense of security, a master stroke Flenogh, pure genius.

Northies! Oops I mean the Tradies.

 

[shadowboxer]

Swap best and wright asap.

totally agree...if coach cant see it then we have no hope. He aint all to blame and i think canberra have the goods, but when they are without a number of players and the error rate was what it was, well its obvious we are stick stuck in the mangroves at shark park at low tide in a pair of gumboots............sh*te

 

[snoozer]

we farked ourselves in that one.

i was very happy 10 or so minutes in.completions were good, we broke the line, they were missing tackles.

then a veritable mixed bag of errors-drop ball, penalties, kick out on the full ffs!
some lame defence.

and we look like we were never in it.

kelly getting poleaxed and aiton's lovetap were the icing on the cake.

What's the word on Albert?

 

[DJShaksta]

Albert was one of the few positives to come out of the game. I thought he went well.
Good kicks for some repeat sets. Nearly scored himself in the 1st half.

What's the word on Albert?

they've got to wait till the poor merkins eyes stop rolling before they can make an assessment.

 

[DaSuperHero2]

at the end of the game im quite sure i saw a few of your favourite sons have a cackle to themselves

 

[Frailty]

After that performance, all I can say is thank god I'm moving to Melbourne in a month and won't be in Sydney forcing myself to games to get value out of membership.

10 minutes we were looking good and then 1 from 7 completions in the next period.

I think the commentators said it best when they talked about the fact that we were not waiting on anyone to get back - this was our best side available.

Could you imagine if Campese was playing?!

 

[Weaponhead]

What's changed
We look dangerous with short support runners around the ruck in Gardner and Kelly
Nice out ball/in ball play for Gards got one try and should have got another
Gallen doing less work


What's the same
Terrible handling
Disallowed tries for no reason
Conceding rubbish tries through lack of concentration and intensity
We are crap when Douglas and Snowden go off. The coach needs to find a better use of the bench.
We drop our bundle when things go against us.

Overall
We looked OK in attack early. Some nice plays around the ruck with better support play. Canberra were very ordinary early and we concede stupid tries to lift their confidence and play them into the game.

Very concerning

 

[carcharias]

hi .

did I miss anything....been at a 68th b'day hoolabaloo.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

yeah you missed ground hog day. Except it was just a little worse than when Sticky was our coach, because we cant defend anymore either.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Best go watch a movie Monday carch. Won't be missing much

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Go team

 

[carcharias]

oh good...might take a dragons fan along next week.

I love humiliation.
