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…

Last day on the job for AOB?

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.

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.

I dunno what compells me to tune in... but I know i'll be here, and I suspect the rest of us will be too. Gotta get our lashes in for the week mate.

If that is accurate, the report re Jacko, then there is no way back for him. But it is Moley so it could be nothing and he and Jacko do not get on at all.

Crossland our savior!!!

I think it's pretty good for a youngster like Crossland to get a go in different roles, especially since he was a half growing up. I think he will develop into a real classy 14.

One of my other pet peeves was that when we make a break no one is backing up must of the time. Other teams see their halves back up every break. Hopefully we see that from Crossland.

Hard to argue against it. Hastings has been getting worse and worse, and I can't help but feel he's thrown the toys out of the cot after being tapped on the shoulder.

Our halves are stuffed regardless, may as well throw a bloke out there who will take on the line and have a dig.

I’m in 2 minds about this.

We definitely know now that Crossland can only really play well in the middle.

At the same time though I’m not surprised Hastings was dropped and very happy the replacement wasn’t Cogger (AOB seems really off him which is not a bad thing).

I do feel a bit sorry for Hastings if he was mainly dropped for doing what he was coached to.

I like Sharpe training on the wing. Better than bloody bench hooker.
