Round 15 - Dragons vs Rabbitohs: Thursday 16th June 7:50pm @WIN Stadium

[Rabbits20]

And another error this is worse than under 6’s

 

[Rabbits20]

What a disgrace to the jersey we are

 

[Eric the great]

As I’ve said before you wait all week looking forward to the footy and they dish up crap

Is kolamatengi playing tonight

Is kolamatengi playing tonight

Some idiot mentioned him for origin,but i dont think he has turned up most games this year.
Ilias got hooked, but he wasnt the only bad player out there

 

[Eric the great]

Your right except for Nichols I don’t think anyone of them was first grade standard tonight

 

[Nafedogg]

These guys need a serious kick up the ass. Not all of them, but they all need to hear it. Some might need to be dropped for the next few games, it’s not like we will play finals footy hat this rate.

 

[Eric the great]

Who do we replace them with we are pretty thin in the depth department supporters have been saying it all year our recruitment is very ordinary

 

[Nafedogg]

We have plenty, people say a few aren’t ready for 1st grade, well you know what? Neither are half our current players

 

[Rabbits20]

That was the worst I have seen us play in a long long long long time I’m furious! That was a disgrace to the jersey and whole club. I can handle losing but that was absolutely pathetic.

And some of the boys laughing after the game is unacceptable. Havili looked shattered close to tears that’s more the attitude I wanna see

 

[Eric the great]

Parramatta next week hope I can find something to do so I don’t have to watch the footy

 

[callmack1]

I have no words after that, literally nothing.

Worst I've seen us play in a long time, worse than the two bad games last year.

A disgrace to the jersey and a disgrace to us as fans. Hang your heads in shame boys.

 

[Eric the great]

Will we get the same rant of Jd as we get most weeks when he states the obvious about mistakes and not turning up well I think it’s his job to rectify the mistakes and get them in the right frame of mind to turn up.

Hey hey!!! Ive been saying it all year and being squashed for it, our club needs to wake up big time,the juniors are being rushed,the rorters have given walker time off and mothered him through,we have thrown ilias to the lions. Milne is only a good reserve, paulo needs personal coaching and they all need tackle practice,not wrestling,tackling, and id love to know the stats on this f**kwit ref who penalised us to shit then to even up gave us 2 in the last 2 min of the half,id like to know under atkins how many weve won and 6 agains and penalty counts, we dont get a chance with him, we played the perfect team until 2m to the end of the first half,and on the second his 6 agains were non existent

JD said in the presser that’s not us well JD it was us. He says we are a good footy side too and we don’t need wholesale changes. Well how is sticking with the same old working for us JD?……. We still can’t hold the ball they teach this in under 6’s who do it better. Our attitude is poor and we have zero resilience and it’s not being addressed. I love Cam Murray but he’s not vocal enough he needs to be into the boys be a voice that this is not good enough!

I’m starting to have serious concerns on JD. Also if he’s picking Ilias next game then it made no sense to make that call tonight very stupid coaching!

 

[Rabbits20]

Just on Damien he can hold his head high I forgive his couple of errors because he was trying very hard busting his gut out there which is what I want to see he was in our best 3 players again for mine. Very hard for him too when the halves don’t wanna touch the ball,

 

[redv13]

Going from GC to Wgong in 5 days is totally unfair. Who scheduled this? The players look timid and do not want to be there.

Saints played Friday night in Townsville. No favours there either

 

[Inkers75]

Did someone say to Souths defence 'have a week off?'

I've seen better defence and desire from Saturday afternoon amateur teams! It really was poor. Looks like scoreline could have been much worse...

[big hit!]

Hooking Ilias could be a big statement. Is the club admitting it got it wrong. Is The coach making a personal statement to Lachie? Is he getting a bit too big for his boots around the club? We won’t know. But if the decision was made on performance alone, then it seems like he was the easiest one to hook because he’s young. Sure he made errors - dropped the kick off, put in an ineffective kick for a 7 tackle set, and slipped off several tackles, but I also saw Murray, Burgess, Johnstone, Paulo, et al all get stood up badly last night too.

the team found some resilience last year after the big floggings. It’s lost that. Opposition are making easy metres in yardage and they’ve gone back to having no backbone defending the cage. It’s not through lack of ability either. It’s attitude.
