Dylan has been so bad at playmaking tonight, absolutely a horror show. takes the wrong option nearly every time, nearly ever pass, nearly every kick. How that guy was EVER a 5/8th is completely puzzling. Not a 5/8ths arsehole.
Do you EVER have ANYTHING positive to say. You must have a VERY sad life

Can’t wait to see Ivan’s presser.
He’s just going to tell everyone something we know.

After so many years of excellence and gun players, the club has run out of steam for awhile.

Ivan needs a break. Go and find his inner coach or whatever it is.

There’s no way back this year after this.

Dolphins ffs.

As a blow-in who was keen to see how Panthers fans were taking the loss, I just have to chip in to say that John Hamblin is my new favourite LU poster.

Hope all of you NEGATIVE nellies listen to WHAT he says.

@The Realist hes just expressing his opinion.

He’s entitled to I reckon.

No one likes bad news, but don’t shoot the messenger.

I thought Edwards was one of our best in an incredibly weak field. Ran the ball back well, got us into the grind in that first half. Alamoti was good too, sin bin was very harsh.

The biggest problem was our edges. Getting carved up so easily when the game was in our control in the first half is poison for a side that wants to win like we do. Tago was poor (and I'm coming around to the idea of him going backrow), but Casey and Jenkins really showed what having too many Cup level players in your side can do at this level. Just awful performances from both. Kepaoa may not be the answer, but he 100% deserves a shot over either of them.

It looks like there might be something going on behind the scenes. Both Martin and Yeo were taken off late in the second half when the game was technically still winnable. Martin in particular looks a shadow of the player he can be, so either he had an injury or Ivan's had enough of him phoning it in as our season collapses.

It can't be easy for a team who has been so dominant to process what is happening right now, so I wouldnt be surprised if there was some serious strain culturally at the moment. Sadly, I think this gets worse before it gets better.

Enjoy the wins but cant wait to lay the boot in when we dont win.

Merkins like you would rather attack a frustrated fan rather than address the pathetic performance of the team and the management. It's like shooting the messenger.

This team has had numerous flaws but the winning has kept papering over them. Now they are just too big to cover up.

I am happy with the last 5 years and have said to people I am okay with us not winning again for even a decade. But I expected us to at least play half decently in our decline.

That performance was laughingstock stuff and most worrying is that 2 of our most senior players were amongst the worst.
