Match Discussion: Round 23 vs Wests Tigers @ Campbelltown Stadium

[newyboy]

I knew Ponga had checked out for the season when he did his stand up routine about milkshakes when Browny quit.

He genuinely doesn’t give a shit about the club.

We need to trade him for a couple of players while his value is still high.

I don't care how good a player the world says you are, attitude and commiment stands head and shoulders over shit head who has talent.

 

[Old dog]

You are sounding like Brown has been lately not accepting responsibility for the part the players play in the game.
Some things do go against as but we lack the fortitude to get past it.
We drop a ball and we fall apart, we miss a try and we fall apart, they score and we fall apart...
The team has no real knowledge of what a winning culture is and no real desire to create one. Good teams...

Was that like..... a team of misfits coached by a person unable to go beyond “that’s the best side I have minus a hooker” I’ve quit but they shouldn’t, I expect more than they can give. It was doomed early in year but came to a head when things started to unfold during season, poor selection or use of bench, Ramien going, poor selection of better qualified players, Coach leaving with many rumours behind the scenes, players signed because of Brown but now left without him.
All just minor matters culminating in serious problems.
The side looked good on paper compared to many spoon sides, hopes raised but now dashed, it is an ok side that lacks a bit across the park.
Note:- three players that have fought through from previous bad years, Sione, Levi and Barnett, striving to make a semi, all too much, pressure told, mistakes happened, I feel for them.

Didnt bother to watch the game when I saw a pre-match interview with Pearce - complete with croaky voice and the baggy eyes of a boy that's been on it. I knew we would be flogged before the ball was kicked.

Was never a Pearce fan and nothing has changed.

Pathetic effort from a team that had to play for

• the season and a finals appearance
• fans
• coach
• young debutant ( Best )

Bring in that Pommy mongrel Coach and feed these guys to the wolf. Tired of a team that lacks balls and mongrel. No pride No passion.

You still don't understand what it takes to win a game and to be a consistent winning team.
It's like you think the game is its own beast and that the players have no control.
Start by looking at how a good team handles what is thrown at them both on and off the field.
It starts with composure.

Dude, you are the backflip king.

Sione was great last week. Has been diabolical already this week.

That just might be because he ain't a centre's arsecrack??

We did have a centre that killed it at Cronulla and will kill it again somewhere else but of course was such a huge problem at Newcastle he was kicked out.

 

[Woosh]

I guess the rumours about Brown being a poor man manager were right with the rubbish they dished up today with everything to play for.
Bennett has had the last laugh.
He may not be the greatest tactician but he is always had been a great man manager.

Yeah, his record with us speaks volumes on how good he was.

If Browny didn’t make the whole week about him this week, the team may have had a crack today.
His Johnny Farnham farewell tour this week was a joke.

 

[Spot On]

Is this a reflection of what the squad thinks of the coach?

Similar to the game the week snr players apparently approached the coach about Ramien and then rang him after he was punted to tell Brown they support him.

 

[Spot On]

Pearce still playing shit

... but he comes pretty cheaply.

 

[Spot On]

Idiot. Try sack half the players. Brown isn't the peaheart in this situation.

Lol.

More gibberish. This one isn't even a coherent sentence.

 

[Spot On]

Unfortunately this game pretty much sums up Brown's tenure, soft defence, no reliance, soft mentality and the ability to make average players look like immortals

Coby said sack half the players.

Wake up mate.

 

[Spot On]

More gibberish. This one isn't even a coherent sentence.

...

 

[Spot On]

Boooo, and you're an admin? Boooooo

They're all complicit.

Mate, don't you dare have a crack at Coby.

He wears an admin badge.

 

[TooheysNew]

He does?

 

[Frederick]

Considering going to their training run on Tuesday and just boo-ing them for 30min straight

If I wasn't at work I'd be up for this too

 

[Yosh]

Didn't expect us to win but damn...

Sione with a shocker but could have been amazing if a couple of his moves worked out.

How good is Best? Excited to see him play more and more. Wish everyone else tried 80% as much as Best... Probably would have won then...

'It's been sabotaged.'

Joey tees off at the Knights.

Name Troy Prezet (elite pathways recruitment manager) is floated around. Joey does say "it gives people with a weak mind an excuse not to turn up ..."
Brown mentioned in the presser he expected either a poor performance or a good one. Does seem something is going on in the background.
