Forever known as lingard & the deathriders and the realists

I think I've seen that movie.

The Deathriders arrive.

The Optimist saves the day in the end.

No I agree we are a worse team than last year. My point is none of us know why, but some are trying to fit our narrative to our preconceptions.

Forwards unable to offload and break tackles
Goalkicking
Consitant hooker

I bet no-one even bothered calling him.

FFS!!! Looser's!!! Max trying to save money again wouldn't stump up 40c for a phone call.

It appears the forum has 2 defined groups.
Group "A" Is not happy with our team, our attitude and our style of play and believe we should be doing better.
Group "B" are pretty happy we will turn our form for the better.
And never the twain shall meet.

Which group understands binary?

Evans will come good.

But Glasby played origin last year and Mannah didn't. And as we all know Origin is the only good indicator of a good player. If a player isn't selected for origin they may as well give up the game.

That's a sneaky little distortion of the truth. No one has said we need origin players (although most final four sides do). What people have said is that we need at least a couple of 'origin-level' forwards. I'll leave it up to you to figure out what that means.

I think it means if they’re Queenslanders then they only play well for Queensland, if they’re blueslanders then they show all the promise but shit themselves at crunch time and if they’re not from Queensland or NSW then they’re Queenslanders

Well Semi’s spectacular wasn’t helping us enough before Moses got here. Having 2 quality kickers helped a lot in my opinion

How come it hasn't worked this year, then? Do you think maybe Semi helped us gain much needed go forward (and therefore, momentum, confidence, etc) that greatly assisted Moses in having space and time for his kicking game?
He hasn't got that this year because our forwards can't provide it without the input of Semi.

Optimism is great. Blind optimism without planning or action, is useless.

What i been thinking all these years. I think my line must get crossed.

You could phone home for 20c back then.

I agree we need a winger who provides good go-forward to start our exit sets, because forwards can't. They spend the first few tackles getting back onside.

He hangs up just after the lady replies and says 'I'm wearing underpants made of garbage bags and have your picture above my bed...hey big boy...'

I don't think that attitude has been the main factor in our results as the coach has stated all season. In fact our attitude has been so convincingly good that the coach has said that he never saw this results coming. He at this point is still shock from an attitude perspective. Watch the press conferences and interviews. Attitude is not the issue. Hell do you watch the games? For the most part they are trying valiantly. They just aren't good enough.

They can't win the ruck.

You clearly haven’t been watching the press conferences then.
Because on several occasions he has actually labeled the players as being lazy and I’ll discipline.
Even today’s one he called them dumb on several occasions.
He often says the attitude at training is great, but he doesn’t seem to praise the during game attitude!

Yeah I watch every single game. And I question at least half the squads attitude at the moment.
