Out only hope is Titans are as shit on their line as we are. Unless we find a way to get repeat sets next half it is over.

That was a shit last play by Barnett, we should have done more with the numbers we have right now. Very weak.

There is no way O’Brien will be seeing this deal out. If Bellamy leaves Storm he will be off. He deserves better than this appalling garbage. Unbelievable how bad they can be. This not anything any coach can fix. It has to come from the players. There is no reset and think with this side. They play like you beat a punch by throwing one.
lol, I don't think he gets the Storm gig with our team playing like this. He's got some responsibility in it too.

Was thinking the same thing. I doubt the Storm would be in a rush to poach him. He's got a great roster here and has us playing below expectations.

Klown gifting the Titans every single 50/50, and wasn't going to give us a penalty at all until the professional foul at the end there, and even then he grudgingly gave it

merkin of the highest order

Well I mean here's the sum of it for me. Talk about our 5th tackle execution all you like - but if you had to sit down and describe O'Briens gameplan (a gameplan he has already endorsed Pearce as executing) - how would you describe it? He's got some great tools in the shed - what's he made with them thus far?

I don't have my dagger out for the bloke just yet, but he's been here a while now and I'm yet to be convinced. He talks a good talk in a press conference - but I don't see it translating to the field today... and we have these dips far too often.

Brailey goes on a dart from dummy half, and there’s no support in sight. Papenhuyzen scores there every time for storm.

Not able to watch the game atm just listening to it on radio but geez whats going on? Seems like we cant hold on to the ball and did we get 2 of our guys sin binned or something. Sounds like the defence is non existent.

He is credited with creating their attack by Cronk and Slater during their dominant reign. This roster couldn’t tie their rosters shoelaces if they were Velcro.

Not only this - but he has said that attack was a focus in the pre-season.

I understand we've had some key injuries so we haven't had the chance to run out of the blocks like some of these top teams, but no matter what gameplan you have if you can't get the basics of football and attitude right.

I still have faith we'll finish the season strong, I just hope it's not too late.
