I thought Peterson was head nd shoulders above the rest tonight. That disallowed try was bordering on genuis. He has 2 in front of him within 2 feet of the line, with no momentum. He managed to get it over!
His allowed try was also the act of a fine finisher. Fa'afili's no mug player, and Sideshow got the better of him tonight.
Stapleton also tried hard, nice stripwhen we needed it.
The rest were various shades of sh*t - from just plain inefective (Hopkins/Tsoulos/McKinnon) to utterly friggin pathetic (Graham).
And yes, despite the swarms of Smith lovers that will no doubt find more ways to prise him tonight, our coach should be sacked. The players who were out there are having their careers sacrificed by a coach who can't get forwards to hit the line hard, or to offer decoy runs, or to run angles. Our most effective attacking options involved 1) give the ball to Sideshow, and 2) wait for God to being a monsoon so the Warriors would drop the ball.
Bugger me, 10 points down with 10 to go, and we do 2 consecutive kicks on tackle 1!!!!!!
Tsoulos is a 21st century Greg Drake. He's the size of a huge mountain, and moves like one as well!
Wagon is a waste of space. His inly contributrion to the side is when he makes 50 tackles in a game. he has no other skill, apart to impersonate a stunned llama!
Thorman has all the skills. Pity no one knows WTF he is doing!
Hopkins is rubbish.
Witt is a loooong way from being a first class halfback - although without forwards, no halfback could hine.
Ashley Graham is useless and has contributed absolutely nothing since his return. He occupies a spot on the field. The same could be achieved by putting a chair in his place!
One positive, the boys tried hard. However, with a game plan as technically up to date as a Commodore 64, they have buckleys!!!!!
Tonight we kissed 2004 goodbye.
Write of 2005 while you are at it. Brian Smith has lost whatever skill and ability he once had. He is a dud.
Parramatta suffers while he is in charge!
