The problem existed before him but he has done nothing to fix it and might have even made it worse. No one can defend him anymore.

Only positive i can find is that we will be at very juicy odds to make the top 4 in 2016

Yeah then you get injured again

Even in 2003 we lost twice to Melbourne, i don't know what it is but they always seem to beat us and we have never really outplayed them either. Listened to the call tonight on triple m, i'll save myself from watching the reply, heard something a little disturbing during the call about Whare possibly going back to Manly. All our good plays seem to be linked to going there, maybe Barrett is pinching players from us.

Well half the time they were cheating so lets take that in plus we have sucked for most our existence

Too many injuries, too many kids.
I have never seen such a run of bad luck that compounds the inexperience and leads to games like tonight.
The defence holds for two sets then a kick bounces perfectly for Cronk.
A terrible knock on call and they score again.
Nothing goes their way at the moment.
You wouldn't believe how frustrating it was at the ground.
Even the storm supporters agreed that nothing went Penriths way. They even felt the sin bin was harsh.
It is these sort of things that really takes it out of the kids.
Something has to break our way soon.

We had a worse than reserve grade quality backline tonight. So as expected they got carved up outwide.

When you're on your 5th and 6th choice wingers (and have to pick centres), third choice fullback (and have to pick a half) and have a second rower in the centres. Your backline is shit. Tonight is a fair reflection of the difference between a mostly first grade backline and a barely reserve grade backline.

We got beat elsewhere also. But it was the backlines that were a world apart.

We need to get rid of Sika as soon as possible, he is a waste of space.
How can we lead the NYC and NSW Cup and still keep him in first grade?
Maybe Yeo should go back to second row and put Chris Smith in the centres.
Did Api get on the field? I don't remember seeing him. And did Sika come back on after the first 10 mins or so?
I feel so frustrated sitting here in the Cricketers Bar. We have so much potential but can't get it on the field.
Ronnie Palmer has nothing to do with the run of injuries. Nearly all were I preventable and just bad luck!

 

[forby]

I meant not preventable. Stupid auto spell.

 

[umina panther]

Yeo is ok but will never be more than a fringe NRL player

 

[Big Mick]

Please tell me there were no more injuries?

Blake looked to take a knock. Think he's ok though.

Bryce Cartwright to have scans tomorrow on his knee though. Could be out a while

His track record for injury management was pretty good before joining... oh wait he was at the Roosters who didnt have one player play the full season in 2009 and only had 4 players make over 20 games then moved to Gold Coast and absolutely hammered their club, now he is working his magic with our club.. I think maybe its his weight training methods from his education back in 1927

 

[cain3y]

I'm pretty sure sika didn't play?

 

[forby]

His training methods had nothing to do with the injuries to Idris, Moylan, Moss, Jennings x2, Kite, Soward, etc. if their were lots of muscle tears etc maybe you could blame him, but getting you knee or ankle twisted under the weight of 2 or 3 players it doesn't.

 

[forby]

My mistake with Sika. What about Api?

 

[cain3y]

I think api should of played over segs at 9, he is a waste on the bench. because this year is not our year I wouldn't be rushing Moylan, Dallin or Sauce back if we lose our next 2 games, better off having a full preseason than risk being on the injured list again.

 

[cain3y]

I also rest segs, he looks battered this year.

 

[TheFrog]

Even in 2003 we lost twice to Melbourne,

We lost to them by 26 and 20 points, and in between won 9 from 10. We are indeed cursed against that team.

 

[Karnivayne]

Idris went down with no one within 5 metres, Moss, Cartwright and Kite breaks understandable but the rest are mainly pec, hamstring, knee and ankle based injuries which a couple may be during twisting in the actual tackle but there are far too many to be unlucky, poor physical conditioning of the muscles around the joints has to play a part in the majority of the injuries.

 

[forby]

Any more injuries tonight?

 

[MrAnonymous]

Bring on next year these merkins are done this year no heart no desire. No excuse to get 50 put on you. If they lose having a go I couldn't give a f**k but that shit tonight is f**king disgraceful.
