Well after an enforced 2 yr vacation ( don't sarcastically repeat any racist slurs made by others on this forum. Ever. ), I'm back."

Yep like most I have missed your special wit and repartee...

Wonder when themanonthehills enforced vacation is up

I think I’d take 5 wooden spoons to have one day of him responding to R20

So I know it means nothing now but I watched the replay tonight and our attack was actually pretty slick. It was just the last pass and a few wrong options (Farah and Grub kicking early) honestly cost us about 5 tries.

Also I have no idea how they overturned Thompson’s try. He 100% didn’t touch Sami until Sami had his hand on the ball. As soon as he’s touching it surely that’s considered in possession?

We aren't that far off but dumb mistakes and options are killing us. I also think our forwards have gone to puss.

When we were winning early in the season our forwards were winning the middle.Since round 7 our forwards have deteriorated rapidly in there combined efforts.The biggest disappointment has been Packer.His output since the cowboys game has been pathetic.I know both his knees were taped on weekend & if he is been hampered by his knees then he shouldn’t b playing.Nevertheless he does seem to b running freely so I doubt there’s much wrong with him physically.Packers abysmal efforts r not worthy of continued selection in the nrl team & hence one of the issues with Cleary is he transparently plays favourites when selecting teams instead of employing a merit based approach.

For a leader & one of the many captains to b so lame further undermines the absurd process of sharing the captaincy amongst a no. of under achievers.The captaincy should only have ever been bestowed upon the player with the utmost integrity both on & off the field & clearly that’s Rowdy.

 

[Tiger05]

Lawrence should definitely be captain. How good has he been this year. He is easily our best forward and probably our most consistent player.

ET, Benji, Reynolds and Packer haven't performed anywhere near his level. Benji has actually been good though. Reynolds when he has actually played has been decent. ET has had his worst year but to be fair he has been played out of position. Packer was great at the start of the year but looks slow which doesn't cut it at this level.

 

[super_coach]

After seeing us run around on Sunday, I doubt they will win another game and I think Souths could put a cricket score on them. At present we have only two forwards who would make a top 17 in most clubs, Lawrence and Twal and our backs are only marginally better.

I watched the Dogs last weekend, they lost two quality players during the previous week to rival clubs, and came out and played with energy and power. We showed nothing

 

[Trollhammaren]

I was at the game and don't have the heart to watch the replay, but we seemed to be dominating the Titans in the first half. We got something like 9 line breaks but only scored twice in the game. Some dumb errors, wingers who don't know how to finish, and we do a lot better.

Plus, for whatever reason, we got absolutely caned by the refs. Was a dismal performance on their part but not responsible for the loss. If we can go back to focusing on defence our attack is almost there to win games.

And not a lot has changed in 10 years apart from players and coaches... everything else has been like groundhog day

Unfortunately - geez I'd like to see a winning season.

Lol Corey Thompson has one bad game and he can’t play. Fair dinkum some of you blokes want to think before you post.

 

[The Charlatan]

Yeah awfully hard on Thommo. merkin has killed it all year and this is the first game he's bottled it.

Go easy on him.

If we had a team full of Corey Thompson’s we’d b entrenched in the 8.

Thommo is one of the few who’ve played consistently well & has been a revelation considering he was returning home from super league hoping to land a gig somewhere.He certainly punches above his weight unlike the lazy sluggish kiwi props.

He had a shocker though and he is a concern. He is going to struggle to score some tries that other wingers who are massive and fast will score.

I agree though he isn't really a problem that needs to be looked at any time soon.

Give him some slack Tiger05....Just a bad day at the office ...His first shocker

I am giving him some slack. He has been good for us this year.

So he's been good but also a concern? Which is it?

Agree with Ted, if our other players did their job like him we'd be top 4.

Thommo would smash it at a club like Melbourne.

When we were winning early in the season our forwards were winning the middle.Since round 7 our forwards have deteriorated rapidly in there combined efforts.

The first couple of rounds our halves were playing controlled football, looking for repeat sets and to build pressure. Then I noticed the controlled football started to drop away, with stupid passes being thrown and trying to go for win each play. It's no surprise your forwards drop off when that shit starts to come into your game.
