all these names send shivers down my spine

surely a blunder to play this speed bump - oh sorry they dont even slow down when they run over him - over saleh kent or mcgoldrick

what was raper thinking

were they that silly to think he had improved because he scored a try against the worlds worst PL side last week

Stevo had a big game last night, he was miles ahead of the rest.
I've already had my say on Simmonds in another thread last Friday and how right I was, only one word describes him........pathetic.
He should never play 1st grade again.

I think we all thought Simmons was going to have a shocker. He had done nothing in PL to warrant a promotion to first grade, meanwhile players like Saleh who have shown the goods go un-rewarded. What is the club doin?

The ball he dropped in the 1st few minutes of the game happened right in front of us, we groaned and the players heads dropped............the beginning of the end it was.

Totally agree about Simmons, the guys is a liability. His defence is pathetic. He scores a try here and there, but he blows tries because he drops too much ball, and he lets in minimum 1 try every game with shit defence.

Raper take note, the guy is just fu$*ed. I don't care who's relative or whatever he is connected to, but this guy is not up to it. Most of the people here know it, everyone I know outside this forum knows it, so whats up man. Also keep Sullivan on for a whole game now, twice this year or whatever is also a joke.

Get serious for next year, our wingers defence is just the worst. Combine that with Vagana's sometimes non-existent defence like that ball he watched Orford grubber in for a try last week. Again scores tries but lets them in so whats the point?

Peacheys defence at times this season also has been shithouse. Against the dragons at home, last night he should have got the winger before he scored in the corner.

Atleast Dykes will replace Bird in the 6 next year, nothin against Bird, but he aint better than Dykes in any way. We get some new wingers who can TACKLE, get this no 9 thing sorted out, ffs.

Rant over I'm pissed off with this year. Raper has not impressed me at all. Sure with Kimmorley in there a bit more we'd be in the finals, but the collective defensive shambles all year doesn't warrant them in the finals.

Check Merritt's stats on www.nrl before you make that statement.

Does Raper check the stats at nrl.com? If he did why does Merritt play half the time? And if Raper check the stats at nrl.com, how the F&%k did Simmons get a game last night?

Ima, I am not doubting his stats but mate the work rate of our wingers is nothing like the guys at Storm, Bronco's, Panthers, knights etc. Some are just defensively pathertic ( like simmo ), some are defensively inept on occassions like Reick and none (including Merrit) do half the work of the guys at the clubs I mentioned.

I will give you that Merrit has started to do more recently but NONE of them really rate. Merrit I can live with.

I realise Merritt is not the great attacking unit I had hoped for Mako but the previous post was referring to Merritts defence and that is way better than a couple of other wingers we have at the club.

ok Merritt's defence might be ok, but I still think as a club our collective defence out wide is just not good enough to be able to compete with the top teams week in week out.
