Calm down

The reason why we lost was nothing to do with Norman not being there. It was the simple fact we were very poor with the ball and gave away tons of penalties . Late hit on Taylor gave them a panel to which they scored from. Also scored 2 tries of kicks off rebounds and bat backs. We showed when he keep the ball in first 15 minutes . Heads up Norman will be back, if we control the ball we should be fine.

It had everything to do with Norman not being there. He controls our play and gives us structure. He returns next week and we crush the sharks

With the personal they had tonight - any half decent side would have put 30 on them. We will play badly and lose matches in the future but considering the opposition that was one of the worse performances they have dished up in recent memory. Most fans are not dumb and most will rightly call them out for such a performance. I thought it was downright pathetic and I'm usually pretty measured after loss. They deserve a huge kick up the backside after that rubbish.

  Stop it Fat or you'll be called disloyal and not a true fan by some who wear their heads in the arses.

  It was an extremely disappointing performance, hopefully they are embarrassed & knuckle down at training all week & get back on track against the Sharks

  Fat you're right. It was total rubbish from all concerned. I'll throw BA in there too for his Rory O'Brien strategy. A night to forget.

No one is saying we had a good night. We have an inexperienced spine as it is but we took out the form player of the competition. Things were always going to be ugly. Gold Coast were desperate and tonight they lifted dramatically. Next week you will be high giving eachother again and forget about tonight's glitch

If they play like professionals.. Yes I will applaud them but conversely they deserve to be absolutely roasted for that. Any team that fancies themselves a chance in this years premiership would never be embarrassed like that. There was just no excuse.

Norman had nothing to do with Semi dropping the ball twice giving away dumb penalties
