Round 25 v Canberra

[Chins get the wins]

As I said Kenny will be a big help we just got to win the last 2 and hope the rooter and sharks drop at least one.Garner will improve with each run Geyer is getting better .the forwards are not to bad just a few of them need to get in the middle and help with the work load
The only real changes for next week Kenny in Turuva in if fit sorrenson

Kenny wouldn't have made any difference today. Infact Sommerton probably offered more in this particular game since our halves were so f**king bad

Shows how important Kenny is too.

Ivan has lost the dressing room...

I get the frustration. We were pretty ordinary today. But come on.

He's playing favourites. I'd be pissed off if I was in the side that's for sure

 

[Iamback]

Yes no shocks whats the concern? The infamous gears are just waiting to be employed.

As if the other teams have shown that they have that in them this year. The reality is that there are a bunch of decent teams in this competition and no one is really impressing. Bit like peachy on a Friday night.

Storm are beating up a Dolphins side at home. Totally out of gas for over a month now with a bin before halftime. It's not even remotely the same to today's game apples and oranges.

The concern is we are way off the pace.

Even the Knights game was close, form wise is not good 2 weeks out from the finals

Not really. Sommerton was good. Kenny doesn't create like he did

 

[Iamback]

I dont think ivan has lost the dressing room it all..

Hes literally said in the presser half a dozen times this year we are just struggling with combos and things because we cant keep the same team on the park.

Lets see how we are after the last 2 rounds. Obviously we need to make the 4. Top 2 being a priority but thats likely out of our hands now..

Get to the end of the regular season and if we are full strength wk1 i give us a chance if nathan can stay on the park.

Combos weren't the issue today.

was purely selections Ivan is too trusting, He is trusting the side just to come good

Not really. Sommerton was good. Kenny doesn't create like he did

He did enough to earn the 14 next week.

We missed kennys defence in the middle. Sommo got brushed off a few times which let them get offloads away.

I cant see the chooks dropping a game. I think the sharks vs drags tmoz will be a tough one.. could go either way.

Then its like Sharks 2016 or any other examples of teams in crappy form winning comps.

4 grand finals straight we've got a very good idea about what it takes. We make the 4, win week one at all costs and that gives us an extra week for the reset.

Lol how can you say that. Luai and schnieder had nothing... thats a shit combo because nath is out.

 

[WestyLife]

Calm down Kenty

There's an obvious lack of attitude. It's fair to comment on that

 

[Girds89]

We certainly arent in form like years gone by. Ive said all year weve had to do it a bit different every season..

This is a new challenge. Weve been really interupted all year with outs..

Can we do it i dont know but im bloody proud of this team. I think if we can get our best players on the park when it matters we are in with a chance.

Where we finish is deserved.

We have won plenty of games we shouldn't of. Even 5th isn't under how we have played this year.

Manly might fire up v Sharks in last week. That is the possibly to finish 3rd

 

[Luke Bowden]

Top notch input as always Lukey boy

It’s better than “Ivan has lost the dressing room”…

 

[BossleyPanther]

The game we played against the Sharks was our best. Immature come final time we can flick the switch and do it again. Teams will be off our back and focus would be all on Melbourne which is good for us.

 

[Chins get the wins]

It’s better than “Ivan has lost the dressing room”…

It's very clear that the side isn't putting in and just waiting and expecting things to click.

Ivan has yet to find an answer or just maybe some have stopped even listening

 

[Luke Bowden]

There's an obvious lack of attitude. It's fair to comment on that

It’s a big jump to say that the team no longer listens to the coach…..

 

[Iamback]

Lol how can you say that. Luai and schnieder had nothing... thats a shit combo because nath is out.

How many games has Martin/Tago played together?

What changes did the left have?

yes we had Schneider in. That was a selection blunder from Ivan but our shape was Yeo/Luai into Edwards as it has been for 4 years

Laurie's 3 errors

Cost us a try
Canberra scored off another

Once again an Ivan selection not a combination thing

Agreed but something is up. Ivan said McLean was sick and so was someone else a week or two ago wonder if they're all stuffed.

3rd finished 5 points clear of 4th that year.

This year has alot of teams around the same skill level.

Our record in Melbourne is horrible. Finishing 4th is a less than a toss of coin job.

Huge opportunity lost in a very even comp not having a home game week 1

 

[WestyLife]

I don't think that's it but something is happening we can all see it and it's frustrating.
