Round 25 v Canberra

[Black Diamond]

exactly i think there’s some serious overections going on here. We are down on form no doubt I’d say we are at 65-70 percent right now. 2nd place finish is still entrirely possible even in our current form. Obviously it needs to improve if year. we want to do anything in the finals.

Not an over reaction. We have been ordinary all year....too many players lost to us and too many injuries. I'm usually a positive person in regards to this team but feel like we are sliding down a hole right now. We got beat by the f&*king Raiders ffs! I guess the ride has to end when your team gets picked apart by vultures who can't breed their own juniors.

Feeling pissed off.

I dont think they are lacking effort..

I just think sone really really dumb coaching decisions and errors and poor discipline are killing us.

Add to that schnieder just isnt nrl quality. He has absolutely no creativity at all.

We need more from bizza, marto, fish and leota. These blokes are leaders and need to step up.

Ivan really needs to sit the boys down this week amd say the goal for the rest of this year is to cut the mistakes and stupidity out and draw a line in the sand in defence. No more tries..

I still think this team can be really competitive.

But we are going to need to have some things go our way. The main one being the best 17 on the park come finals and hopefully jagging a home semi.

 

[Iamback]

Sharks are bog average. I wouldn't back them to beat anyone

Yes but are flat track bullies and play 3 bum teams

 

[Fangs]

You trust us to certainly put both teams away?

I don't trust the team

We I still do.

Not just blind faith. Two home games, players to come back. Garner was good for the hit out. Souths have their minds on Bali, maybe the Titans will test us more.

As opposed to the High Flying Canberra that we dominated yet couldn't score points?

 

[Fangs]

That’s with our full team but if Clearys shoulder goes at any point during the finals we are so fkd

Yeah I know. But I don't get behind the argument much.

If the Storm lose Hughes they are f**ked too. It could happen to anyone.

 

[betcats]

Garner was really good I thought. Tago was good. Yeo was really good. Lindsay and Henry both good. Saw some good signs from fish in the second half.

Moses bizza dyl and Luai need to get back into form quickly.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I think for next week I would give Edwards the week off. Bring Tito back on the wing and play Laurie at fullback (unless Alamoti is available and then play him for Laurie and Tito at the back).

 

[Panther Mike]

We are going to Melbourne. Sharks won't drop a game

I've tipped Dragons to upset them tomorrow

 

[Fangs]

As opposed to the High Flying Canberra that we dominated yet couldn't score points?

If Luai kicks instead of passing we score 22-24 points. With our defence that's enough to win a football game.

You said we'd lose this game weeks ago. It's a crap road trip. Be thankful it's not the Storm going to Townsville and Brisbane to finish the year.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Yeo will be the only player picked for Australia if Mal has a clue

Who else would you expect him to pick?

 

[Fangs]

It's a big call.

Ivan might need to make it the last round instead.

And what about McClean? That's another issue. Why did he go off? It throws out the Alamoti plan if that was the go.

we came out a camp.

All of that would of happened.

We completed at 88%
had 59% possession
87 tackles inside the 20 compared to 22

Stick a fork in us we are done. A Prelim is a good outcome this year

Agree with all of that.

Garner was really good..

Need Nathan back simple as that to be any chance. Even a half-fit Nathan is way better than a fully fit Schneider.

I did say that.

It had nothing to do with Canberra but our form across 24 weeks

 

[CCJohnC]

Very poor performance. Out muscled and kicked. Laurie is not a winger Edwards still looks unfit where was Martin today? At least Garner looked good. To'o looks tired.

 

[Girds89]

I did say that.

Very hard to build combos and form when its a different team every week..

Ill keep the faith.

I think theres too many good seasoned players to fall to pieces now.

Hopefully soro can get back before the finals and everyone else stays fit.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Who else would you expect him to pick?

Martin and Edwards but one isn't fit and the other doesn't give a f**k

 

[Girds89]

Tito needs a really big game in cup today. So does alamonti..
