Probably not but we would have had a better attitude and definitely would have conceded less and scored more.

You stated earlier that they weren't interested. They had every reason to be interested tonight. The had the chance to show everyone they could play without Hayne and prove they were a worthy top 4 team, Considering they have been the laughing stock for the past 3 seasons and had so much to prove tonight they damn well should have turned up interested.

Poo, do you think BA has a gameplan or just let the players play what they see.

i.e. ala what Brian Smith used to do.

The start was very interesting indeed.

Daley said that they did not have a plan to attack JT and it was the players who played what they saw in front of them. aka Hayne

They lacked leadership tonight just like they have since Cayless retired. Getting a new coach hasn't changed that.

Will they even bother forking out solicitors to defend him at Philip St? Or just give him a bus ticket and ask him to rock up himself?

I feel sorry for his old man.

I missed the first ten minutes but it looked like the conditions didn't suit our style of play. We stuck with what we do best (use the ball) and it led to some errors. Then our intensity dropped off and Penrith's lifted.

I think that was bullshit intended to stop Thurston from firing up next time.

Every team attacks one (or both) of the opposition halves. When faced with the choice of Cronk or Thurston you would attack Thurston every time. Cherry-Evans is a better defender than Thurston as well.

Oh we got it from the kickoff, made 1 or 2 rucks then went wide and knocked on.

We tried it again and lost it not long after.

We were like trying to play 2009 parra ball in the first 10 mins.

I think we thought we could use hunt's footwork and speed to get him in the clear.

You are too kind. We didn't just go wide, we offloaded after the 3rd pass (to no one) when it wasn't on in our own 20metres. We had made 3 errors in the first few minutes

That's how we play every week, or at least against teams with better packs than ours.

The only team we have beaten through the middle this year was the Dragons.
