Well we'd need to be very lucky to win every game, which is the only thing that'd make you f**ken happy.

Where did you expect us to finish this year (and I haven't consulted the prediction thread as I never made predictions myself)? For me, 2020 will be BA's year to show or go.
We played poorly. 44 missed tackles and completions at 76% is pretty telling of a team who were poor.
I thought we would be somewhere between 8th and 12th. We have done better than I thought. But I still believe it's more to do with a soft draw and the NRL comp being the weakest I can ever remember. It's hardly to do with us being some gun side with some quality coaching.
Just back from the game and here are my observations.
Fair enough. Let's see how we go in the finals though, OK?
The bench has been very ordinary. Evans hasn't been playing long minutes, other than when Paulo was out against the Titans, so he might be better being on the field while Paulo is having a rest.
High intensity games sometimes produce scrappy stats like that.
We've got one, and we're not the sort of club that can afford two of them. You don't want to overspend on outside backs.
I can't see how we could have MJ for 2 more years? 1 max but 2 would be 1 year too many.
Paulo came back.
How do you know what he wants?
Surely terepo is ahead of Moeroa?
I was talking to you. I only quoted IFR33K so you'd know what I was talking about.
Not in most selections leading up to Paulo missing the Titans game and not after either.
Just back from the game and here are my observations.
- refs were absolutely disgraceful
- the ball kept going to the right in attack. Very few times was the left given early ball.
- go forward was decimated once Evans and Paulo were off. Why does BA wait soooo long to bring them back on???? Hellooooooo!!!
- get rid of the mahoney/gutho rubbish. Mahoney has to do more than just distribute. He needs to capitalise on quick play the balls and make yards up the middle
- Moses kicking game was off tonight. Either put the ball in the fkn air or roll it along the ground. These half bomb/chip kicks are deadset a waste of time and just catching practice.
- attack was sideways tonight.
- boy we miss Fergo. This is not an attack of Taka as he has played well but Fergos runs, influence and leadership would have been very handy tonight.
- Lane also played well tonight but had the opportunity to create a 3 on 2 and didn't let the ball go.
- Nathan Brown will now be gone for a couple of weeks but gee he needs to touch the ball less especially in the opposition 20.
- has gutho lost pace or is he out of gas because of the hooker experiment.
- id like to see Mannah back in for Alvaro.
- obviously Taka to the bench once Fergo returns but who plays hooker if/when Mahoney goes off..
Ok im done..thanks for reading if u got this far
