Round 2 3Vs Knights Saturday 18th August 3pm Panthers Stadium

[age.s]

We played like a team full of Ciraldos.

 

[mxlegend99]

I doubt it. The wake up call should have come 2 months ago ago when the Roosters thrashed us.

Roosters smash us. Broncos smash us. We have been pathetic for a long time.

A few freakish comebacks dont change that.

 

[mxlegend99]

Just need an 8 point try

 

[Frankus]

Rcg could have changed the game if allowed to take quick tap... but refs has to NOT let game flow. I think this is a good loss to have in the long run. Hopefully put them on notice to earn right to play footy from beginning of the game. Only changes for me is jfh and egan to start.

The refs didn’t cost us the game. The fact we are absolute shiiiiitttte is what cost us the game.

 

[Exsilium]

We really need a better attacking coach. That blokes been woeful all year.

Talent gets us over the line, not attacking structures.

Wait, that’s been ciraldo.

He’s our head coach now.

In Gus we trust.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Waqa needs to learn to actually pass to Mansour rather than just going back inside.

 

[kinghippo]

Well, that was amazing shit.
Did anybody see anything new or exciting.
Somebody give me a positive because that makes me feel like our next 2 years could suck f**king hard

 

[TheFrog]

I have just walked out of the ground. I am ropable. What an absolute f**king shit show. Play the f**king ISP side in first grade the next two weeks.

Did you watch reserve grade?

 

[Exsilium]

So will Gus go down the tunnel and spray Ciraldo? Did he do it at half time? Can anyone confirm?

 

[ashton]

whose idea was it to put Peachy at fullback. Frog you saw today why I said Peachy shouldn't play fullback.
Katoa should never play first grade again.
Mansour career is all but over.

Waqa needs to learn to actually pass to Mansour rather than just going back inside.

He was much better linking up with DWZ. Hes nowhere near as good defensively on the left. Nor does he pass aswell that direction.

He's a bit more dangerous with Kikau on his edge. But a right edge of DWZ, Blake and Kikau would be the best bet.

2 careers overafter that? Wow.

We were shit. But f**k me that's not even our worst game of the year. Broncos game was.

 

[Matthew Ellis]

To me it looked we were and have been trying to hard in general.

In regards to specifics it looks like Tyrone May just didn't pass enough. IMO he's always looked like a backrower who has enough skill to be a stop gap 5/8. I saw some people say we'd do better with him in the team than we do with an injured Maloney. That was never going to happen.

Reckon DWZ should be moved back to fullback, Peach should be moved to 5/8 and Sione hooked for Egan. Egan's a small guy, he can play 80 so we play with a 4 forward bench and Yeo can shift into the centres in case of an injury.

 

[Exsilium]

Probably a little irrational emotion in his response.

Sauce has been pretty bad but we know his top form can’t be too far away.

Katoa has been hit and miss. Not sure what’s better, Egan or Katoa starting.

I’d rather Wallace right now.

Maybe the finals week will fire the team up

Tanou really looked like he gave a f**k. I think Ciraldo's really getting the best out of him. Leota played well for the first time since coming back from injury.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

To me it looked we were and have been trying to hard in general.

I disagree with this completely. To me, it looks as if we are not trying at all and just expecting the opposition to roll over for us.

 

[Das Hassler]

I wonder what super coach Gould will have to say to Ciraldo to restore unity.

Whatever it is it's sure to be wise

 

[chrisD]

Makes sense. The Knights are average but unlike Titans, Raiders and Manly they're not incompetent, so they just saw us out. That's all we've been surviving on.

Ciro is not coaching us for the next 2 years. Although even if he was... do you really think 2 weeks is going to be accurate to predict their future?

No pre-season. No player changes. Literally the same everything wr had whileHook was here minus a head coach. Ciro was already part of the staff.

The style has changed. But the discipline has not. Nor will it any time soon. We need a pre-season focusing on these issues.

We were shit. But f**k me that's not even our worst game of the year. Broncos game was.

Today was our worst performance of the year. We were disgracefully bad.

Broncos game was bad because of the score line, but that was only because we played a decent side.

Basically all the Knights had to do was stand there and watch us lose the game by ourselves. We might as well have been wearing Knights jerseys.

Our only try came from a complete fluke. Against the worst defensive team in the comp.

We don’t just need a new coach, with the exception of our strength and conditioning coach, we need to replace all of the coaching staff. There is no way if they are half decent at their jobs that we play like we did today.

Perhaps Hook did everything himself because the rest of the staff are f**king hopeless and that is now being exposed.
