We are such a failure

[Chipmunk]

Further to this, I see that Sean Russell missed 0 tackles...

Again, this only shows the things you do, not the ones you don't do. It was the things we didn't do that costs us the game, not the things we did (and is most weeks).

Just because you aren't within cooee of a bloke when you should be, that shouldn't be a free pass on missed tackles on the stats sheet... He should be down for at least 5 missed tackles.

Russell also only made one error. He dropped a bomb where the Dolphins almost scored their first try, so there is your one error. So, what, failure to do your job and not get the ball down for a try when it is your job to just get the job done and score is not an error??? FMD

The club needs to make a decision whether they’re serious about trying to win the comp in the next 1.5-2.5 yrs. IMO our top 17 is close to good enough to give it a shake. They are aging however. If we aren’t looking to sign a hooker then we’re wasting our time, we may as well start rejuvenating the squad and bringing through some youth.
The strength of the competition is as weak as it’s ever been. Most teams are inconsistent week to week and are only an injury or two away from having to play duds in key positions like we are. Last year we were 0-4 and managed to get into the top 4 before bombing out towards the end of the year. I hope we give it a crack, however the combo of BA’s tactics and the turtle at 9 aren’t good enough at the moment

His 80 min hooker missed 5 tackles with another 5 being ineffective.

And that’s not counting the times he’s too slow to even get into position to make a tackle

Last year it was injuries and suspensions fault. What are the excuses this year? Because it can’t be on BA.

Just read any of Pou's posts to track this year's attempted excuses.

Usually a shifting combo of resources something something, weather observations, and unrelated deflective attempted comparisons to something else.

We ride a girl's bike. We poo our pants at school.

And then change into a different pair of pants so everyone knows we’ve shit ourselves.

The "spare" pairs were always strangely a slightly different shade of grey to the regular uniform.
