What a terrible, terrible afternoon that was. Really sad to watch and I am ashamed to be a Souths fan after watching a performance like that. We simply didn't turn up. No heart, no desire, no effort, no passion, no pride. These are all values South Sydney is built on and it was nowhere to be seen. Nowhere at all.
Yes, we are missing plenty of players but that is not an excuse. You still have to turn up, put in the effort and try your best but that didn't even get close to happening today. If we put everything into the game but still lost, I'd be disappointed but would cop it, I cannot cop a poor showing like that in terms of attitude. It stunk and is an absolute disgrace to the jersey.
What has happened to our defence?? It was okay to start the year but has completely fallen away and we have now conceded 30 three games in a row. There were various things that contributed to our loss today but defence was the main one, no doubt about that. The amount of missed tackles was alarming, as was the ease with which the Raiders rolled us. We got smashed in the middle. Add to that terrible reads, a lack of effort and physicality and you're basically handing the opposition the win. To the Raiders credit, they were good but we kind of handed it to them. This, again, is an attitude thing in my opinion.
All this was compounded by a completion rate once again under 70% and the same stupid shit we see every week.
I'm disgusted in my team. Our Season is slipping away and we seem to have the opposite attitude than we need to have. It's disgraceful. My faith is starting to fade. My faith in the players, and the coach too. Nothing is being done to turn it around and nothing is improving as a result.
Just a terrible day in Dubbo for the second year running and I hope we never go there again.
Beyond frustrated, beyond angry, beyond embarrassed and beyond devastated. Everyone on the field today should hang their heads in shame.
