I can't find any positives out of today, we have lost four in a row and that's enough to make me put a knife through our chances already

Halatau was ineffective, straight up ran the ball, got dominated and rolled onto his back on more than a few occasions

Milone...well that would have to be the worst performance to show for trying to crack into a 1st grade team lol. Trouble is he'll "learn" from his mistakes and be picked again next week

I can't blame Milone for that game. I thought he was fine. He wasn't great but it's not like Naiqama was any better. If anything Naiqama was a lot worse.

7-4 penalties and ALL the Penalties we got were for high tackles. Not a single discretionary penalty.

I don't think we played good enough to win, but I don't think the Knights were any better either.

As shit as we are we are playing with no luck ATM, lost 2 forwards to injury again mid game.

Terrible...

They are getting worse..

They have only one player that the opposition need to worry about...

And the opposition know it too. Whenever we spread the ball the opposition only needs eyes on Tedesco, and can line him up early.

Feeney is a total nuff and even he had us completely worked out by the end of the game.

Another negative is Sironen...

He offers absolutely nothing... Gets bumped off tackles and makes 3 metre hit ups...

I said in the match thread that he plays 15kgs below his weight... Heck, make it 20..

Wtigers, St.G/Illa, Newcastle = three worst teams. Those three won't get the wooden spoon. If the papers can be believed it will go to Parramatta.

The Positives
1. Lawrence. Great hard runs.
2. Sironen. I think he showed me today that he can have an impact. He hit hard and ran it back hard plus didn't shirk anything at all.
3. Rankin. Maybe he isn't a great winger but he really played hard out there.
4. Nofo. Ran hard all game.
5. Grant. Same as Nofo.
6. Moses. Lots of great little plays and competes all game.

'Running hard' should be a given for an NRL player, not considered a positive. Every other team has 17 players that 'run hard'.

We don't have 17 that do that. The players that do stand out. We need more of them.

I remember playing under 18 rep games, our Coach would lose his shit if we didn't run hard at the line and if we ran sideways

You'd think an NRL coach being the absolute top dog you'd get this from players week in week out

Well, it's time for some changes surely and some players need to have a good hard look at their efforts if they want to be professional footballers.
Will be interesting to see how Taylor responds to this latest result, he must know his time is limited with these sort of results.

Rankin is bog average...

The Knights kicked it to him all game and he struggles to bring it off the line...

He can kick goals better than Moses though..

Is there another spot for him? He is no winger unfortunately..

I thought Rankin was good.

Taylor has to turn this around or we should get rid of him. We are not that bad a team when it comes to the players that we have.

I've bagged him every week, but rankin was one of our best today. His dummyhalf runs were actually good.

What does Milone get a point for ? For turning up ?

The dope gave Moses 3 points. Must be for the 3 tackles he made not the 15 he fell off.

How Brooks and Moses are demanding 700k a season is beyond me.

Rankin was ok, Milone did nothing wrong, Kev N has a shitload of errors in him and Brooks and Moses were bloody ordinary again.

I thought Moses was good as well. I can't remember any mistakes that he made and he set up a try and gave the ball at the right times plus put in plenty of good kicks. That was a really poor game by Naiqama but he hasn't done that in a long time.
