I know your boys are into the horse drugs, but someone should have told them that ketamine isn't performance enhancing.

Cronulla Sharks. They are the UN-SUCCESSFUL UN-ABLE UN-NECESSARY UN-WANTED UN-NEEDED

Better start looking for jobs in the WA mines or something guys cause if you want to continue watching your rabble of a team you're gonna have to start spending a fair bit of time in Perth.

The team had a flat night can happen, backing up after very hot game last week and the derby game in the past we have been the ones who have been the underdog and one the game.

But couple points to come out the game.

Dummy half we are much better when Morris is there.

Ross missed important tackle in first half, he is now struggling to be in 17.

And for us to at least make the 8, we need to replace the Wright Brothers, we need to see what other options we have

Very ordinary performance. Despite the loss of Carney, we played too much one out stuff - like a team of 7yo's. I really thought our imports would lift team performance but it seemed we dragged them down to our one out style of play. It seems the massive crowd support for Cronulla gave the wrong team a lift. Very disappointed.

Pop when you say we dragged the new recruits down to our level it reminded me of Merrit how is that little fugger scoring so much now yet couldn't do nada for us.

Is it our culture? Maybe Gallen is the Kobe Bryant of the NRL damn good player but sometimes hurts us with the amount of ball he gets.

I reckon they beat us in the play the balls. They were always urgent and fighting which got them either a fast play the ball or a penalty. We on the other hand were a lot slower and didn't fight as much. Hence they laid all over us and got away with it.

The Wright brothers show is not funny at all. Both getting shown up

Beat me to it.

Can expect plenty of kicks behind them from now on. It's the name. Cant believe someone could surpass Matt for ordinariness. Matt Wright has been ordinary in 4 positions in his career so far. Anyone who defends him is an extra from 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest'.

Before we are accused of being wrist slitters,ask yourself does Matt Wright bring to the team if you answer is anything other than nothing get an appointment at Specsavers. Dragons are not rated and hadn't won a game until tonight. If we signed Morris and Nightingale we would be in raptures.

Chad is fated. Never to play with TC. He will get drafted in to a stereotyped team , do his best and get dropped if TC returns. Here's a poser. What happens with TC's contract? Is the Achilees going to be a long term problem? He is not one of the dodgy 14, so we are in strife big time.

At best Top 8 club , at worst bottom 3. Win the comp! Pm me if you want.a bet on it.

Could be, JR. Too often we seem to wanna bash our way to the tryline instead of using finesse. Let's face it, we now have oodles of finesse in Carney, Gordon and Lewis but it does not seem to be coming through.

We sucked tonight, and goons played well. But we should go better next week. You'll still be a merkin though... carrying on like a c*ck even after winning.

bashing our way over with Fafita seems about the only way atm

How is the fijian winger in the reserves, if he is going ok, would like to try him playing outside Bakuya instead of the Wrights, as we basically have no strike power on that side.

That attempt of catch in our in goal by J.Wright was not acceptable by someone of the amount of games he has played

That was odd, but he was safe under pretty much everything else. Not sure about him, but there is no way he should get the blame for that loss. The forwards were beaten.

Meh, one game. Be interested to see how they react next week.

Ratini had a great game in the reggies.
His improvement from whence last I saw, the Manly trial, was quite astonishing.
At this rate I dare say we could see him in the firsts by mid to late in the season.
Twice yesterday he was within millimetres of the sideline and with his speed got around players.
And defensively he was very good, ran down a couple of half breaks quite easily and his positional play was sound.
I have hope for this fella.

Mills was ok, Feej, but his fundamentals still show a bit of laziness.
To me it seems we won't see the best of him for a couple of seasons, or he'll give up.

Your best last night was the crowd, only second to the one at Brookie. I was sure it was going to earn your blokes a few more penalties.
