If some people are carrying on over losing to the Chooks well, what can you say. They are a great team who beat us in a great game. We may not win the competition but just calm TF down. Supporting our team isn’t easy, but isn’t that the romance?
We’ll be there come finals (probs above Roosters) and we’ve proven this year we can win big games.
Relax. Enjoy the game or pick another sport following a team guaranteed or winning every 5 years or so.
This is why the EPL exists. So useless whiny merkins can support a winner even if they've never been to Liverpool or Manchester.

Brown is a Bea fav, just like Gutho. They get what they want. No matter who we lose.
Brown has been good for us over a number of years, but I think the Matto in the middle experiment shows the best future structure of the team. And I have no idea what Brown is really on, but if he is earning more than $400K a season, he’s too expensive to me coming off the bench

Yeah i know ..... its just laughable that its tumble weeds in here from certain people when things are going well, but a posting frenzy if shit happens ..... but yeah, i will shut up now
I've seen enough this year to form the opinion that we won't win it. We're capable, but consistency is our biggest concern. Personally, I generally steer clear from the feeding frenzies that pervade the post game comments for the most part, but I can understand the frustration. As far as today's game is concerned, Roosters were the better team and deserved the victory. However, I'm tired of seeing us being the Jekyll and Hyde team of the competition.

They lost to the Bulldogs ffs
This sums it all perfectly...perspective..
The club who is about to punt their coach very soon if not at the end of the year..
9 years and counting to have something different.
I will be there next Friday but gee it's hard to keep investing in this team financially and emotionally..but I'm trapped so will keep going

And Newcastle. Plus South’s who are shit this year. But hey we beat Penrith that means this game didn’t matter at all according to pou Logic. Games like today are the reason we we won’t make the top 4 and never be a serious threat to win a comp.

We got f**kin' raped by the refs there.

Some really dud calls, and some really dud no calls.
On the whole it was swings and roundabouts for the entire game. I'd rather concentrate on why we put ourselves in a position where we had to claw our way back into it in the first place.

We also need Waqa with Russell or Sivo back asap. Perham I was ok with giving him a go but unfortunately offers nothing on the wing and maybe anywhere in 1st grade.
Opacic is a good defender but not much else either..

It’s not what a captain does, sure he could of passed but it was a split decision mistake and he chose the wrong one. Screaming at a team mate on the field is f**ked and not what a leader does.
Guth. Probably didn't call loud enough

I think he was in the line cos oppa was out. Maybe it was kidwells instructions
Of course, have no issue with Gutho being in the line….decisions are made with the spit second…just like drown decision to kick. But it doesn’t deserve abuse…

Try that seals it is at least 3-4 meters forward, and the penalty against Drown that gifted them a seven point lead nailed the coffin.

We were the better side.

Less errors

Less missed tackles

More meters

More tackle breaks

Better completion rate

Faster PTB

More forced dropouts.
