I've figured it out- how we play is inversely proportional to how well Uate can catch a high ball.

This is just embarrassing. How do we go from 14 up, no miss tackles, perfect completion, making the Raiduhs look pathetic, to this?

I hope Bennett asks half this mob to move on. They are a joke. Gidley needs to be sacked. Contract torn up. Uate is simply a one trick pony. Fact that the world needs to accept. I really hate watching this team right now. No heart. No nothing. Always finding new ways to humiliate their fans.

He can't run out there and make the tackles for them. We need leaders on the field leading by example. Aside for some really strong carries from Snowden... what do the boys have to look to for inspiration? Gidley f**king everything up? Boyd acting like a princess? We need our leaders out there, most of them are on the sidelines. Same problem we've always had, I've seen this all before.

Then honestly what are we paying $1.2 mil for? Gidley and Boyd are here because Bennett chose to sign them, in fact the majority of the players are here because Bennett rubber stamped their contracts.
If Bennett cannot get this team to even be competitive in games like this than honestly he is not earning his pay

So next week we go 5-5 after the Bulldogs absolutely rip us to pieces up the middle. Early season wins long forgotten.

I still think the decision to take the 2 was such a negative tactic, we score again and we would've been hard to run down, instead we go for the negative play, let the raiders off and lose all intensity there after

Glad I can't make next week's home game for the first time this season. Don't want to watch live what the Bulldogs are going to do to us.

We're paying him to change the culture of the place from a club that looks entertaining and scrapes through a season 12-12 to a club that can make the finals every year and compete. We're paying him for his pulling power to sign players. Yes, we're paying him to make us play well, too... but I've already said once or twice this year that when we're on song, we currently play the best football we have played as a club since Joey was lacing boots. It's up to the players to find consistency, too. The gameplan works, and it's pretty bloody simple. They can't go out there and execute and maintain intensity. Having our full leadership group on the field would help a lot. Gidley and Boyd arn't acting like leaders out there at the moment, either (2 of our 5 "leaders"), which is hampering us.

Absolute stinking putrid filth from the Knights. The most inept and dumb performance I've seen from them in years.

It's pretty sad when some of the highest paid players aren't pulling their weight and look as if they have nothing to play for.

We'd be better off fu#king Boyd, Houston and Uate off and putting Gids @ fullback and bringing some keen young blokes in who actually want to have a dig.

I just cant stand Boyd. He's the biggest cat in the game and I don't want players like that in my team.
