Round 11 team

**Controversial Post**

Are we really scratching our heads as to why Sullivan didn't come back tonight?

Under pressure coach gives rookie halfback a chance to start at halfback over veteran halfback in his 300th game.

20 mins in (rightly or wrongly) rookie halfback gets sin binned, the opposition score three tries during this period which is costly.

Under pressure coach gets the shits with rookie halfback after showing faith on a monumentous occasion for veteran halfback and decides not to bring rookie halfback back on the field.

Surely this isn't too far out of stretch of everyone's imagination? I'm not saying it was the right call but surely you can understand why the decision was made, as can I?

I hope the journos grill him on the sin bin and subsequent benching of Sully

 

[Draginzaaar]

where's the bunker correction? Damn thing is involved in every aspect of the game why silent when replay shows ref making a game-changing sin bin mistake - Felt laying all over Bud and grips Sloans leg there's only one guy causing a professional foul and that is Felt.

Why didn't Hunt challenge it?

Can you challenge a sin bin ?

I know Sloan is great mates with Trell, but it doesn't mean he has to play like him and take lacklustre hit-ups and not get involved until the dying stages...

No presser hey?

Felt is a grub in the Josh Reynolds magnitude of grubs. Remember last year against the Tigers we the weak grub took a dive from the kick off and got up laughing. The refs are useless and the useless coach should give them a spray on his way out. At least do something useful.

Every time one of our forwards who can offload (De Belin, Sua, Kerr) carried the ball with an arm free, Sloan wasn't within cooee. Is it fitness or attitude or a bit of both I wonder?

 

[redVbull]

If we touched that ball the ref would of screwed us and said it didnt go the 10. what a joke

Ref did the next best thing ... didn't say a word when it bounced on the 10 so our guys just watch it over the sideline ... Amone could have picked it up 1m out and scored.

So us fans don’t know anything ay Jack Bird
Maybe learn to catch a ball and stop your errors then talk
At least we know what we are talking about

 

[Dragon David]

I didn’t watch today as I knew we would be rubbish
The board needs to be dismissed on negligence if Hook is not hooked immediately

I'm scared that those wannabe guys who think that they can have a crack at coaching us might just change their minds and we are then left with Hook for a few more years. For the life of me, why would you want to come to this club to coach the players we have?

I dont think you can challenge foul play

Posted the same in another thread. It's NRL sanctioned old mate will cop a flogging if he's not turned up. Especially after all the fanfare for hunts 300. Shambolic

 

[justadragon]

Everyone has said this is Hooks last game, make it happen and make it happen now !!!!

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Curse our board to allow this to play out as long as it has. They have brought great shame and done untold damage to allow the coach to maintain his position. BBQ gate was the writing on the wall then the no show awards night. The clinic is riddled with cancer and boy does it show on the field.

I’m out guys. Wasted too much energy on all this. I’ll be back when there’s a new coach in charge.

Sadly I pulled the pin 2 weeks ago....just can't bring myself to watch anymore of this ...weve got nothing anymore ....we've lost our soul....when that happens theres nothing left

Says it all doesn't it? I just don't understand it. I just don't. I'm still in disbelief and so angry.

They are not journos. Nearly all league commentary is scripted and dull, lowest common denominator. Rush Sims about the best.
