I am starting to think we have the dumbest supporters on here .... watched they way we manouvre and undermine any failures.
The relentless criticism and then the undermining of the coach, front office etc indicates some people cannot just understand the current problems.
Players were pretty pathetic today and I honestly think with the injuries and dislocation of being maimed that we will be lucky to win another game this season......Can we fix it, I doubt it, it is not an actual lack of effort it is more a lack of ability.
We have two backs with any pace and real class, both obviously carried injuries, you all being such determined critics out there realising Moses could not run, or place kick. JAC's ribs are so heavily strapped he had problems breathing. Joash Pappilli tried hard, never dropped a high ball but had no support, Penisini has come back early from injury, Kelly is just a pathetic mess from a once competent player, Volkman was honest and the debut winger also honest. Realistically both Volkman and the new kid are not first graders. You can use players like that in one off's but not as regular first graders. It really was a non existent backline and the length of field tries that were put on us reflects that.
Our forwards I cannot defend them, but I do know that you only need one or two key defensive players out and you are buggered. If your backs cannot carry out defence, then the forwards will always be run ragged.....tell me you understand this?
See I can defend my team, why cannot you at least attempt to understand our situation. Last year Souths had similar problems, their supporters stuck with them, we don't have the talent that they have, it will be interesting to see if we keep our new St George players after he watches and see's this result but no we will blame MON for losing him and anyone else that wants to come.
NB Anyone that wants to sack the coach is a non thinking moron, he can only work with what he has and I am sure he is trying as hard as he can to come up with a side to play canterbury next week.....good luck with that one Jason. I don't envy your attempting to make something out of a club like Parra, but we stalwarts will support you.
Final point rather than being perenial pessitmists laced with disloyalty, try coming up with some solution's and commitments to support the coaching staff through this period of "seeming disaster" without coming with your fantasy solutions.

Arrr yes Poppa the king or queen of the unicorns....how you can defend the indefencible is peerless.....Honestly you continually bang on against fans that are upset and critical and WE are the morons....but you sure know how to defend this shit show for decades DECADES fairplay ..........................lol
I am not homophonic PG, but I am not a cross dresser so Queen would be unlikely.....Unicorn yes, King, Your appoinment not mine.
I continually bang on about morons on the site.....well if the cap fits you should wear it. The concept of the morons is self identified, i.e. if are not one, then don't worry, remember you are on social media so be called one should not upset you.
Well I have basically said nothing you didn't know, do you have anything to add to what you don't know LOL
Said to the wife before kickoff that they looked terribly lethargic and disinterested during their on field warm up. Then when Moses, the captain, and one of the most experienced players kicks out on the full in first set, it was the Parra of seasons past where you could just tell the game was over already. Titans first try was as soft as it gets. Even the Titans players looked completely surprised. Ryles mentioned in presser a lack of spirit evident, poor decisions and bad body language. The bloke sitting next to him was the worst offender. In most team huddles after conceding points, the team looked as if they attempting to rally. Arms around each other and trying to encourage. Not Moses. Barely involved himself in the huddle, barely said a word. Terrible body language, throwing his hands in the air at players. Terrible lack of leadership from him today.
Thanks Old School, I know exactly what you are saying, thought the same......maybe and stress maybe Moses knew he should not have been playing and it was a hopeless cause. His effort on the field was OK but his execution was not good. Its been that way most of the season from my observations.....
I have suggested something was wrong ever since the Lomax situation arose. He wanted to go before R360 arose and I don't know why? that said our end of season form denied any problems, but then again the unwashed may not have known.
This whole blog has been about my defense of the indefensible, equally as discernible about sacking the coach. Most on here do not understand the damage they cause with their outrage, when actually the real damage needs to be dealt with as a subsequence.
Pops only created this blog to take the focus off the real issue which is O'neill and Sarantinos. Its a distracting thoughtless blog nothing else
He saw the blog i created was getting a lot of airplay and because he is buddies with O'neill he created a brainless blog to disrupt the real reason the club is now dead and buried for 26
So pops, you've won but trust me and those who know what you're up to.
You may be cunning, but you aren't going to play the real fans, so f off to bed because its way past your bedtime
They are YOUR issue not THE issue Chiefu. We have us plenty of 'em to go 'round....how's that GOAT of yours looking tonight?
Just read that out to my wife Chiefy, she agrees and is sending me to bed......LOL
PS have a nice rest Chiefy and when the nurse wakes you for your 3 oclock wee wee, don't tell her you were having a nightmare about your Poppa.
The new rules and interpretations have made the game a joke. If you are 10% off you get hammered but we are starting from 30% below other teams before kick off when comparing players. When Melbourne struggle like they have despite world class spine with Munster, Grant, Hughes and Fa'alogo it shows the game has changed dramatically over what we have seen in the past and majority of fans agree it isn't for the best.
I used to watch every game every week but just can't get interested when eels aren't playing now due to the refereeing and the touch footy style of play. Even when eels play I always watched to the end previously but can't get invested now when momentum is near impossible to change without a bit of luck or individual brilliance so find myself flicking channels or going on my phone with eels on in the background.
I really fear for SOO this year. With momentum decided by referees and fatigue determining results what sort of games will it deliver. Bwhat I do know is Qld will win as it is what is best for the game and some referees know how to reach the NRL KPI's while showing clear bias or delivering results for favourite teams. It will definitely go to a 3rd game and is probably the safest bet this year.
I can't engage with this new entertainment product either Fakey...I just have no fucks to give for it
Agree... speed and momentum used to be generated by fast sides, quick attack, quick ptb, quick defence, mobile forwards etc... now it's generated by the ref and 6 agains.
V'Landys Ball does and should continue to eat a bag of dicks... the game gets worse by the year.
