Last day on the job for AOB?

It really sucks knowing that we’re absolutely no hope in a matchup like this. Even if we play our best we still probably lose by a couple of tries. If we’re not at our best or near enough we will get pumped by 50…

No way he goes anywhere, especially not this week. He’s on a very big contract.

More criticism will definitely come though if his game plan is to stay conservative and try and out-grind Penrith.

Might skip this one. We’re no chance - I’d usually still watch/support but I don’t even enjoy watching us play anymore with the negative football we play.

This could be ugly. Cleary was on fire yesterday

Wishful thinking. I can already hear the excuses.

Yeah look, I can't blame anyone for skipping this one. I am filthy on the club myself and will be skipping this one for my own personal sanity. You're right, we're not even an enjoyable team to watch play and that's perhaps the worst part of all.
