At least Hayne did an alright job at fullback..

We need Grothe Back to help make the yards..

Hayne returned the ball like a girl until the 80th minute when he made an ok run. He was no better at 1 than he has been anywhere else.

When it's all over and done, it wasn't that much worse (if worse at all) than what I've seen them give over the last three weeks.

But four weeks of that stuff in a row is hard to swallow, even when changes were made. All the excuses have been done to death, don't want to imagine what will be said at the post-game conference.

But when they made a bust (Bell) he had no idea and was made to look stupid. Luckily Bell fell over his own feet....he should be back to wing next week, or even to Wenty. He needs a wakeup call IMO

We need REAL forwards. Really apart from Hindy & Fui piss the rest of them off and start again.
but Grothes metres take a heap of pressure off the forwards maybe thats atleast some of the problem......the forwards aren't used to making the valuable metres

if you listen to what Gould said about that play he was exactly right, I thought Hayne save a certain try.

This starts and ends with the coach and the staff he employs, they do the recruitment and balance the salary cap etc

The whole things smells of incomoetence, DF basically gives the coach a free hand, let's hope that changes and he gives him a one way ticket back to Newcastle. His heart has never been with our club, he should do the honourable thing and resign and give the job to someone who is prepared to bleed for the club.

Can't bring myself to watch the post match conference, will be its usual dumb arse comments and I will want to punch the plasma

he got the result he wanted.

But he was still beaten and got lucky. And he didn't return it any better than Burt has all year. Why was the change made again?

Inu was great, should have been in the 1 IMO

Meters by a winger should be complementary to the cause, not the main contribution.

Seriously why do we have all the forwards for? Manly forwards were going forward 5m after contact with the defensive line. We were going back 5m
