This year we have had numerous players not roll their sleeves up. It is a culture we have developed...I hope it is not a 'Polynesian' laid back mentality.
Again tonight some players did not put in or have the intensity. It is hard to believe we were outplayed by a hungrier second string Souths team.
We have no go forward, no speed and our attack is pedestrian and predictable.
For the Luke Burt fans.....his stats are below. Two runs in 80 minutes for a lousy 17 metres. Enough said !
Again he missed a crucial conversion, albeit, the game was over. His miss was the final nail.

Hayne to say ben smith had another good game, hard runs with metres and crunching tackles.
We are carrying alot of dead wood, such as, Luke Burt, Joel Reddy (good defender but slow), Tahu, Inu, Mortimer (will always be run at so spends all game defending...too small), Cayless (classic example of signing a contract that was too long and an example of a team having too much say over coach. No longer a NRL first grader) and Matt Keating.
The other major issue is we have too many Islanders or similar. Great players but do not have the consistency week in week out. Consistency is needed to make the semi's. Count the number of Islanders and similar we have compared to the teams near the lead....enough said !
Sadly, I am a huge DA fan but if we continue to have high numbers of Islanders then he must go and be replaced by Kearney to get the best out of them.....very sad I know.
