Rabbitohs Round 6 - Vs Sharks

[Travitoh]

Hawkins was better tonight. Hopefully he can continue to progress as the year goes on.
Tom lead the pack very well in the second half. The leadership he brings will be missed.
Havili, Shaq and Moale handled the extra minutes well, showing that they're capable of doing so.

 

[Hellray]

So he didn't do anything that Cook has been doing?

And 6 runs from dummy half.
Nothing overly special to stand out but what I will say the service from dummy half was crisp. Cookie passing does leave a lot to be desired and are borderline close to foward a lot.

cookie scored a try for Reggie’s tonight, maybe it was the kick up the ass he needed.

 

[Artiste]

Listen to Mal laughing and gloating , knowing he’s about to take a man’s job
Wow he’s an even bigger f**kwit than I already thought!
Edit: * thinking * he’s taking a man’s job

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

At least one positive came out of tonight's game.
Jye Gray.
And hopefully Latrell has played his last game at fullback.
Whoever is the coach when Trell's suspension ends needs to tell him he's playing centre, and Jye is going to continue playing FB

BS, he did nothing of the sort.
You must be hearing and mentally impaired, you missed him saying he was very uncomfortable talking about the team or to the players like Cody.
Crawl back into the rectal hole you came from f...ing wanker.

Bahaha sorry Mrs Meninga

With the Bye week, now the necessary transition must begin.
If the choice is Hornby then begin the process right away.
Still 18 games remaining. The goal should be to re-establish 80 minute efforts, reduce errors when in the opponent's red zone and defend much better.
One thing is certain. Demetriou's stint here has ended. Keep holding onto him and the 5 defeats thus far will soon be 10, and growing.

 

[Captain Apollo]

After that match, I can see why Rabbitohs fans rate Jye Gray. He looked very darn good tonight.

I watched JD's post match press conference. He handled it with composure and class. Hooper carried on like a douche in my book with his questions.

 

[Rabbits20]

So impressed with Jye tonight showed great energy he can play and the kid has guts and ticker should be so proud of that debut tonight. It actually put a smile on my face seeing how well he played

 

[Rabbits20]

And proud of the boys for showing resilience they could’ve gave up they didn’t.

We were down to 14 on the bench the last 50mins.

Tatola broken foot and Munro collar bone again were sour notes.

How the Sharks guy wasn’t sin binned for concussing Murray is a joke. Had Sharks fans laughing in our bay when Jye and Cam came off for their HIA’s so I told them off!!!

Jeez that was a night that can only be described as torrid. That's the best way I can describe it. Just a tough, torrid game where just about everything went against us. It was a really tough watch and I just felt so flat the whole game. This wasn't because we were playing terribly this time, it was because of everything that seemed to go wrong.

You certainly can't fault the boys' effort last night. They showed more effort and spirit than they have in probably any other game so far this Season. Three players ruled out in the first half, down to one man on the bench, and we had a number of other HIA's. A completely reshuffled side. We had no right to be in that game for as long as we were, but the lads just hung in there and really tried so I can't fault that.

However, despite the effort, I can't say I'm proud of them. It shows you just how far we've fallen when people say they're proud of that performance. We still looked pedestrian for much of the game, we concede 34 points which is simply not acceptable, and you just felt the whole game that we weren't going to win against a Sharks side who seemed like they were in second gear. It was a sad state of affairs.

Just a depressing watch really. Like I say, plenty of effort there but it's still not a performance I can accept.

It shouldn't be enough to keep JD in the job.

What did Mamazuelos do tonight to warrant Cook getting dropped?

He did 44 tackes and ran with the ball, what it does is invigorating cookie, who had a good game in reserves,because he hasnt been running

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Dumb mistakes at crucial times turning the ball over in strong positions, then backing it up with a soft, lackadaisical defensive set leading to a try.
Yes we chased the score but we keep f**king up. The lack of urgency from some is killing us too.

 

[Rabbits20]

Katoa grade 2 high tackle on Murray I still say he should’ve been sin binned. He misses a week with an early guilty plea.

 

[Thadius]

Cronulla were crap, just that Souths were worse.

Keaon lazy as ever.

Mamouzelos offers SFA.

Hawkins defence was again putrid and he belongs in reggies.

Only Tom, Jack and Jai earned their pay cheques.

A terrible performance by Souths, you cannot gloss it over.

As to JD, he just got a slight reprieve and I think I know why. It gives Souths the easy out keeping JD a tad longer.

If Hornby or Mal were to take over tomorrow, it won’t make the slightest difference when facing Storm & Penruff, as we’d still get the tripe belted out of us regardless.

This way, after the Penruff game, the club can say enough is enough and put the newbie in place for the Saints game…a significantly more attractive proposition.

Do you know what your talking about? Jai didnt play how did he earn his cheque? Go back to dreamland

I think he means Jye.
The spellchecker probably autocorrected

It was a real pleasure to watch a Souths fullback carry the ball back with a bit of an effort, on Saturday night, in fact a fullback who made immense effort in everything he attempted.

That's the difference between Gray and Mitchell.

Gray made huge efforts in all aspects of his game.
Maybe it was because it was his first NRL game, we'll see.

Mitchell has NOT made any sort of effort unless it was easy and of benefit to Mitchell - by this I mean it appeared a try would result if he just barged over.
That is the difference. People in the media, like Gallen for example, or the coaching staff, or whomever, can make all the excuses they like.
It doesn't mean a sack of beans to me.
When you get right down to it Mitchell is paid one million dollars a year to play a game.
A silly bloody game.
People like me work all their lives for a pittance compared to Mitchell and we know what happens if we don't perform - everybody knows what happens if there is a lack of performance.

Get rid of him - no more excuses - bye bye Latrell - go some were and FIND yourself - stop bothering us.

The turnovers have been happening since May last year.
They are on dopey Demetriou.
Listen all you "oh happy with the effort. Excited re Gray..."
The team is tailed off for a reason. The club is busted, wrong training, dopey Coach. Why are so many INJURED??
Nada will change under Demetriou. He is a freakin dummy, a dope and whilst the just-as-dumb Management leave him there the squad will ROT further. Who can bear his pathetic, repetitive pressers they are pathetic!! CALLMACK himself has often pointed this out, even he is sick of the same poubelle!!
The team's record will end something like 4-20. If you are fine with that, and many key players always injured, then go ahead continue with your heads in the sand. Keep backing a dope like Demetriou.
I watched Sam B's Warrington smash St Helens last night. The players ran hard tackled hard and looked to create when in possession. St Helens beat Penrith last season at Penrith, strong form. They have been a dominant side but Burgess made them look weak. The aggressive running and kicking was highly impressive, great to observe.
