I was very disappointed with Peats. Worst game he has ever played for us. If you get a chance just look at how he gives up when McGuire scores from 30 metres out. One more effort like that and I would hook him.

I think the camera angle was quite deceptive there. Peats was well out the running. He's not particularly quick

He hasn't hit the form from last year, that's for sure.

Norman and foran would be terrible, quote me at the end of next year of it happens. Ill remind you. Sandow is as good as the team allows him to be, he played reasonable today by the way.

Don't agree, our forwards were getting 40 to 80 metes per set, mostly 60 metres and they were creating lots of space for our halves to exploit an almost consistent retreating defensive line.

Sandow was f**king useless - bar the early 40/20 he achieved almost nothing else.

This put so much more pressure on Norman being our only real-option go to MAN for 80 minutes.

Put it this way, if we had DCE & Foran as our halves tonight we would have won this game 20+.

We get a better 6 with Foran coming next year and Norman to 7 I really can't see us going backwards.

We have the forward stock to get us deep into the finals next year.
We just need a mentally strong organised set of halves to run our squad for 80 minutes.

Over 80 minutes and disregard that f**kwit Joseph Paulo, our forward pack played better than the Broncos tonight.

It's not shit every week. It was very good against Manly and Souths, and pretty good in horrible conditions last week.

The fact is, our halfback is an inconsistent player. Norman has been very good, but Sandow is simply never going to be consistent. Plus we have had to overhaul our whole structure because we no longer get any ball playing from the back. So what do you want? Arthur cannot change what he has to work with this year, unless you're advocating Luke Kelly or Beau Henry as better options. He has seen the issue, and he has addressed it by signing the best five eighth in the game. Until then, we have Sandow and his inconsistency.

Personally I think the signs are all pretty good, but our lack of quality options in the opposition twenty will hurt us this year. Sadly there's not much we can do about it at this stage. However, we make plenty of yards up the field, the forwards usually do a good job and will look even better next year (and our defence will toughen up with Scott in the side). If we do that with Foran in the side, we won't have much to worry about.

Being good 3 times out of 8 is not good enough, sorry.

I'm glad you are happy with it, you are one lucky guy to accept the current results. I don't and i am not apologising for it!

We were playing to tie the game and we let Milford score one of the most embarrassing tries of the year, our commitment is just not good enough. We are playing for the coach and each other but we can't even support each other and back each other up? I just don't see anything they talk about.

Im surprised people haven't worked out Poupou Escobar yet,he/she is one of those people that always differs from popular opinon,he/she probably thinks Breaking Bad is a crap tv show,that Michael Jordan is bad at basketball and that Elton John isn't gay.

Who said I was happy with it? Not me. Who do you suggest could have chased down Milford? The chase should have been better on the kick, but that's no guarantee of stopping a player like Milford anyway. With Norman being held back, I think we should be questioning why it was allowed more than anything.

Understanding the reason isn't the same as being happy with it. I expected pretty much what we've done this year, just with wins over the lesser sides and not the better ones. I'm not sure why people expected us to be suddenly winning 6 of 8 or something....

I'm curious to know why we were so quick to re-sign Folau.

Surely he moves into the pack sooner rather than later?

Exactly, these are my views too.

The same Jayne that helped us get repeatedly flogged the past three years? How would he help our shitty defence?
:lol: He plays we probably win tonight, but but but but but we just need two good forwards and we will be a much better and balanced side.
