Hey Ricky, the only weak gutted dogs in the nrl live here. Fancy winning all your games against top 8 teams (except dogs) and absolutely phoning it in against everyone else. A disgrace sack the entire team

Sadly got a feeling this kind of football might encourage any decent players we have to leave.

In a way I'm glad we didn't win that cause we sure as hell didn't deserve to.

Really disappointed in Madden's play. There was bugger all direction and it looked as though he wasn't talking at all. He's been able to learn from Hastings how it needs to be done. Was anyone at the game and is that right? You can say the forwards didn't lay a platform, which is true aside from Joe O, but it's the half back's job to call them out for being lazy sloths when they are and get them to lift their game. He still has 4 games to go work on that though.

It just goes to show how much we need Hastings. He needs to be given everything he wants to keep him. Without him we get the spoon. If we avoid it it will be because of him.

We've played poorly with Hastings in the team but he seems to be the only guy in our team with footy smarts.

We had some decent performers. In the forwards Musgrove, Kelma, Joe O and Pole all had their moments. Seyfarth was okay as well. Kepaoa did some good things. Laurie was okay. Freebairn did a good job.

We just had way too many mistakes and very little creativity from our spine.

And a complete lack of commitment to defence from the time we (attempt) to kick the ball down the other end. This has plagued us for years. Shit ineffective kicks, a staggered kick chase or no kick chase at all. The then either a cheap, stupid penalty, or just allow the opposition to stroll up the middle of the field and make 50 plus metres every time. So frustrating to watch.

There was so much room on the right flank but we hardly ever spread the ball that way - just running down that f**king left edge which was frustrating. Listless 5th tackle options which did nothing. 26 tackles on the Knights goalline just before halftime for 0 points.

The forward were woeful outside of Pole and Joe. Tamou can screw off with his 302 games and just go. Kelma go. Seyfarth if the stars were aligned would be barely Massey standard. Peachey made zero impact and inhibited Brown's game. Madden in his big test failed so I don't get the hype over the kid at all. Doueihi was starved of the ball which was poor. We were listless in defence, failing to run our line up, just letting them run down the field with ease. That Tex Hoy try was absolutely awful.

That was a bad loss.
All the good work and momentum achieved against Cows and Broncs is gone. That was as bad as we played against these pricks in round 2.
