Was good to see O'Brien throwing rockets up them in the sheds.

Our forwards really need to take this game into their own hands I think. We need to wrestle that momentum back.

 

[General Knight]

Why does it feel like Souths are gonna score 2 quick tries to start the second half....

 

[Burns]

So there was a stat that said we had had 37 tackles in their 20 and they had had 14.
That’s the difference, our defence is paper

It's where we have the biggest advantage, at least on paper.

Consistently awful plays like that from our leader and most experienced player are just unacceptable. If AOB is fair dinkum, he not only doesn't resign him, he starts shopping him around right now. A rookie can not possibly play consistently worse than he is now.

The way he got up in Walkers face at 14-0 showed an overly cocky attitude. Terrible leadership and only fired Souffs up. That's not what leaders are supposed to do. Had to stay calm and focused there.

You think about what Cleary would have done with the 3 or 4 moments like that in every half that Pearce completely ruins. Fine margins against good teams and the reality is your half needs to execute those plays and get results. He was going for all or nothing attempt at a try and we end up immediately conceding possession, field position and momentum. Soon after we concede another try. Those moments are everything.

Yeah, he was blowing up deluxe.

I will never, ever understand. I was down at the park the other day kicking the footy around and it just reminded how stupidly simple it is to kick a ball along the ground nowhere near the few people who might be able to grab it and run. How does a halfback with so much experience struggle to exercise such a basic skill?

Did you have 13 blokes in front of you?

I mean, he hasn’t been great, but if it was that easy everyone could do it.

Would be nice to see some of these merkin fire the f**k up and start belting a few.

f**king Barnett.

Looks exhausted all the time.

 

[Haffa]

What a gimp.

 

[Frederick]

Ugh Barney, not needed

 

[newyboy]

Randall should have been off like a rocket with that offload.

 

[perverse]

That's just so us.

 

[Haffa]

Haha f**k.

 

[Frederick]

Jesus

 

[Jono078]

The effort signs are worrying now. Body language indicates some are ready to give up.
