You have decided one game against a currently bottom four side proves your theory, and plucked a result against the team currently running second to make your comparison. These two results are enough to convince you. It speaks for itself, but you're too stupid to even understand that. You make me sad.

To be fair though, your analysis that changes were made for the sake of it doesn’t exactly scream mastermind.

I don't think it was about dropping scapegoats so much as it was about bringing new blokes in - change for the sake of it. Or do you think Salmon was replaced after the Storm game because the loss was his fault?

Arthur said himself he doesn't like making changes just to get a response, but it still needs to be done.

Was Salmon dropped because he cost us the game against the Storm? Was Smith dropped because his game at fullback cost us 42 points against the Sharks? And if you think Ray Stone is a better player than Tepai Moeroa your opinion is worthless.

I just watched the game, it looked like both Parra's played last night, just in different jerseys. As well as the Eels played they still have a lot to learn, which is natural for a fruit salad team like ours. Still, for a 34 year old forward to get the accolades over his junior counterparts tells me the others aren't collectively pulling their weight. Sivo continues to impress, Stone has rocks in his head. I wish the Raiders game was at Bankwest.

Anyone like to give their opinion on the playing surface at Bankwest? It appears to be soft from what I can tell. A fair amount of green left on the players - from boot to elbow, and it it still looks slippery at times. Either the turf hasn't fully settled yet or the dew collects more noticeably because of the stadiums layout.

Brisbane tried to smash us out of the game early, their first few defensive sets were brutal and they had great line speed.......usually we go into a shell and get belted when teams do that to us but somehow we stayed in the game and then in a miracle.......the Bronco's crumbled!!!

Although it f**king sucks to still lack complete confidence in your team not to get run down at 26-0 at half time.

The game in 2 weeks will be very interesting, especially if Drown is back.

Couple of bashed up players will do good with a week off.

You've based your assessment on a single game at home against a team as inexperienced and mentally weak as ours.

This was one of the few games this year I've been confident we'd win. And that was before the side we named.
That might be true in this case but it doesn't mean them 2 aren't f**king useless.

Ray Stone is legit stealing a living playing FG, how the f**k is he being picked over Kaufusi? But Moeroa for me deserves time away, his earned it through stupidity.

And where is Kaufusi? Am I the only who thinks his a brilliant prospect?

Couldn't agree more.

Last night they showed a bit of ticker and mongrel, withstood the onslaught and countered back with swift efficiency and just rolled over them. It was great to see, but when are they gonna do it away from home? Until they do we are never gonna be able to move forward.

I was like you at HT, waiting anxiously for them to run us down, I had no confidence in them at that stage.

If Drown is back that is gonna be massive for us, seriously very interested to see how much he improves us, I have no doubt he will.
