I know why. They lack integrity and that bit of dog in them.

I don't give a flying f**k about status or chances of glory. I find it sad when people are like that.

I miss those days.. when u could call a spade a spade.. none of this partridge family twattle

Well said. I heard him say I love the club. Well why go to market as soon as you can and piss off.

Well a win's a win but there's nothing there to get excited about. Souths lost that game just as much as we won it.

We had enough possession on their line to score 5 more tries. We looked so ordinary in attack for most of the game. Our defence is softer than a nerf ball. Souths were making so many easy metres out of their own end, and there was not a set all game in which we did not miss a tackle. Sometimes multiple misses in the same set. Luckily for us they shot themselves in the foot when they got into try scoring situations. Our attacking sets, coming out of trouble, and by comparison, barely made 35 metres on average.

Our goal line defence was fairly good though so hats off there. Sezer made a couple of try saving one on one tackles on big guys. That tackle LL made was fantastic. Has Sezer been charged with the crusher tackle? If so, that will probably be his season.

One person I want to single out was Klemmer. There was a Souths turnover on our line about half way through the second half. He's grabbed the ball so he could play the ball and let Faataape take the hit up. Did not take a hit up for the rest of the set. He should be chafing at the bit to take a hard hit up and help the team. This is everything wrong with the forward pack.

Api has gotten into a bad habit of taking a step back before passing out of dummy half. I'm not sure if this is because he's not seeing what he wants out the team as far as shape or lead runners goes, but it's allowing the defence to get right in our faces. His service has been pretty poor lately and it's getting worse.

For mine, Galvin has been the only positive the entire season, and the possibility of what things might look next year with Luai coming over. Aside from that, and even though we've somehow won more games, I think most of the team has gone backwards. We're saddled with a coach who probably won't make it, and we have 3 more years of him left. Unless we do what we always do and sack him at some stage next year and cop the payout yet again.

Robbie might have had some good advice for api before they had their spat and now Robbie’s leaving ..api may have been too high on the pedestal too listen..he’s not very relaxed on that presser seat is he..

My take is he is a utility player. I think he is too small just now.

He is small, but his defence only has to be better than Doueihi and Faatape which isn't a high bar.

We offered him top dollar that he didn't deserve and he said no. That is all on him. My pet hate today is people blaming society or other people for their actions.

And our previous CEO agreed to a bad deal that has played into his favour so he could beat his chest about retaining a key player. Stefano and his agent played the club like a fiddle. Yeah the “I love the club” stuff is bullshit but he made the best move for his career, so good on him. As I said, it was an idiotic clause to put in the contract and has backfired.

It's hard to argue with this one isn't it.
