Nice to see us spend 80% of the time defending our own line when the Raiders were down 1..

he should have been let go the year before and a succession plan in place years ago.
The club was investing nothing in juniors and there wasn’t a better option available to sign, but sure, we should have done that.

So, we miss the finals last year and experience a second year of this crap. Good plan.

What coach have we had since Mal Reilly has been able to coach above the culture of the club?

The squad has been short all year two halves and a hooker. How does he coach our halfback and captain leaving in January? How does he coach our hooker getting a 9 month injury?

If you can’t see our depth is woefully shallow, it’s going to take some time to fix that and ditching the coach now isn’t going to fix that.

It’s the same old bullshit with this forum. Sack Pearce last year - where has that got us? Sack AOB now - where will that get us?
While I was infamously against sacking Pearce, much to the ridicule of many, the issue is that the coach isn't getting even close to the most out of what he has, and has allowed the depth to dwindle to this under his watch too. It's his third year here mate, he didn't walk in the door yesterday.

I honestly can't believe we're winning this game. We have no right to.

They have been much better this second half to be fair.

I don’t think we are actually as bad as this forum makes us out to be. We have always been short a half, and we don’t have a hooker, yet we are winning this game.

If I genuinely believed what this forum says I would have been swinging from a noose years ago.

Well, I'm not going to comment on your mental state regarding nooses over a footy team, but we're not good mate.
