Match Discussion: Round 23 vs Panthers @ Hunter Stadium

[Haffa]

That try....my god I hate this club.

 

[Haffa]

0-36 second half. That's not like it.

 

[macavity]

That's probably the best possible team we can run out. Or close to it. My god we are woeful.

 

[perverse]

It's fine, replacing Mullen with Heighington Will get us where we need to be.

Honestly, give the Saifitis, Sione, Barnett and Levi the day off on Monday, get the rest of the squad on the bus and drive it into the harbour.

 

[Sydney Knight]

I don't know whether that article about being shopped around had anything to do with it but that was Mullen's worst game ever.

 

[Swarzey]

I don't know whether that article about being shopped around had anything to do with it but that was Mullen's worst game ever.

Stopped watching 10 minutes into the second half, thought he was alright in the first. If that was his worst, then it's still better than anything Plodkinson has delivered this season.

 

[Glendale]

Mullen was absolutely woeful. I was against releasing him but f*** it. Let's get somebody who can catch a bloody ball in there.

All of them were disgraceful. Theres really no one who I can give a wrap to today.

 

[Zoidberg]

It was probably a coincidence but as soon as Randell went off we lost our shit in defence.
I do not want to see Adams in 1st grade again, he was pathetic in both attack and defence.
Hokko can go jump. His job is to organise the team in attack, we are a f**king rabble inside the opposition 20, every time. The amount of chances we had in the 1st half we should have had 2 or 3 more tries, any other team would have.
I just want to throw in the towel for the season, we know we won't win another game, all we may get is a few more losing records against the other teams.
Ahhhh f**k it.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

No hope of winning another game after that performance. Woeful. Their backs ran around us while we stood there and waited for them.
I reckon Mamo was injured. Wasn't prepared to stretch himself in defence.
Barnett lacked his usual enthusiasm.
Mullen was totally covered in attack and had to resort to inside balls to Sione or Sims. He had no space at all.
Gagai had a shocker.
Randall was possibly the best out there when he was on.

 

[Nuffy]

It's no great surprise but it's reached a point where most of us can't even be stuffed getting upset. I think we are truly resigned to our fate.

 

[Glendale]

Can I just say- How f***ing good are our fans!! Like seriously how the f*** do we get 1 fan there let alone 13,000. We are one of the most dedicated fan bases in the comp, if anyone deserves success it's us. But our shit heap of a club keeps heaping more misery onto us with a lot more in store.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

How in hell players can get away with putting on big smiles after that beats me.
They should be put in stocks in front of the crowd and lashed.

 

[Burns]

It's no great surprise but it's reached a point where most of us can't even be stuffed getting upset. I think we are truly resigned to our fate.

That's one bonus I suppose. I don't think I've been upset over footy in months? Just resignation that we will probably lose each game.

 

[Zoidberg]

How excited will we be if we score a miracle win.

 

[Joel-22]

I'm a Gagai apologist but f**k me he was ordinary today.

Dan Saifiti was great. Our pack has to be one of the weakest in the comp. The opposition players shrug out of our tackles with the same ease you'd expect an NRL player to shrug out of an attempted tackle from a bunch of 13 year old school girls.

 

[Sydney Knight]

How excited will we be if we score a miracle win.

That's pretty much what I'm putting myself through this for. I won't be getting excited until the hooter blows after the huge let downs against Parra and Canberra when I had mentally banked a win before the game was over.

At least reserve grade broke their 15 game losing streak . How the hell you can score 62 points after losing 15 games is a bit of a mystery.

[Apey]

Mullen was average, he wasn't even one of the worst on the field though so I don't know what people are ranting about. Mamo, Pete & Pat were awful, Hodkinson and Gagai completely MIA. Over 1M of our salary cap were barely sighted all game.

Do we have one less player on the field or something? In offence we end up with a centre or winger with 2 players marking him, in defence it's the other way around, as perverse aptly described, we seemingly have one dude covering 1/3 of the field.

 

[Burwood]

I truly lost all faith in Hodkinson after our game against Manly. Captain of our team, SoO winning halfback and one of our most experienced players, yet Jack Cogger was the player expected to continually kick the ball when under immense pressure trying to get out of our own half. Set after set the ball kept going to a kid with a handful of games experience.

I was willing to give Hodkinson the benefit of the doubt because of the quality of players he had around him, but no longer after that game.

 

[Swarzey]

Similar deal with me Burwood but rather against Wests when Lamb played the entire second half with a busted ankle and Hodkinson did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing to help. The vast majority of kicks, Lamb too considerably more runs. Bloke doesn't care about playing for the club. Not once this season has he shown any pride, any desire to try.

 

[Wizardman]

That second half was absolutely woeful. Things mush be dire in Newcastle for this Chris Adams bloke to be picked in first grade. He is the worst player to have played first grade this year.
