pretty sure all DBrown did tonight was hit ups off our line. He had some momentum but has regressed again.

It’s not just this game merkin.
Sure. Across eight games we have played three of the top four teams and have the third best attack and the eighth best defence. That should all improve as we get players back from injury. But our defence is very worrying. Last year we were fourth best. I think going with two attacking edge forwards (rather than one plus Matterson) has helped our attack but hurt our defence. But Matterson has been great in the middle.

Mate, I was all in saying the Townsend signing at 800K was ridiculous. But between him and Deardon, they doing ok. Drinkwater looked f**king great tonight.... Reece Robson is a gun.... It's a spine devoid of a coach's son, and they'll probably win a comp before us !!!!
Townsend is ok, its just that 800k is way 9vers .... but i thought Deardon was plop - but he has been very good this year ... and yeah Drinkwater is going well ... i dunno if he was meant to be fullback. Hammer started the year there. ... now Hammer from the bench!!! Wouldnt you love that problem

Payton has em firing ... he had the warriors up in 2020. 2021 was puss for the cowboys. Maybe he just needed time to get em onboard.

Makes no difference who the opposition is tbh, but I will say they could play the Darwin games later like they did in previous years. Every year I promised myself to go to these games but ends up at a poor time.
I was planning to go next year but not now after that trash that was dished up.
Atrocious!

32k + members. Breaking records every year BUT no closer to a premiership.
If we fizzle out this year which I'm really fearful of, the numbers will start falling off

Oh do f**k off with your magazine-grade attempts at philosophy thought experiments.
If you're not prepared for the answer don't try and be a smartarse with your gotcha questions. And responding with insults just makes you look childish. If you don't want a discussion you should take your own advice. Maybe go back to blocking me, because you will never outwit me.

What comments got deleted?
The club has closed ranks and blocked all comments on all there social media flatforms after posting the fulltime score.

Jake and brad were copping it from frustrated fans on a more extreme level then on here.

Didn't ask you a question.

It's seriously time you took a break from the forum.
You are just embarrassing yourself now.

Its time to acknowledge that barring a massive turnaround in attitude, game plans, bench rotations and player selections we will not go anywhere this year.
I think it's absolutely terrible for fans to massively rip into JA on social media. It's uncalled for. It's the coaches fault not his son. Perspective...the kid is 19.
Don't get me wrong I don't want him in 1st grade either but its not needed to call him all sorts of names under the sun on social media
