Good Defensive Effort.

This is my first post, i can't believe how many of you are bagging the team out. From my POV they did a great job defensively. There were a couple of miss tackles but it was pissing down. Give us a dry track and I reckon we would have won that easily.They're going through a rut at the moment but I believe we will turn this corner soon. I have faith in BA and the playing squad.They need to teach Morgan how to use his winger cause whenever he gets the ball he just tucks it under one arm and charges without using the winger.Everyone bagging the team out just support them and stop being PLASTIC fans.

  • It's just frustrating for us tragics it's all a vent mate, can you honestly say that what we have produced over the last 5 years is a above standard.
  • Doesn't matter mate we should of won, I'm sick of hearing "should of" it was another dreadful performance Sandow is #*&$ing dreadful he cost us
  • Mate he's not a fullback you can't honestly blame sandow for that game . Blame BA if you wana blame any1 . Sandow fullback pathetic choice , richie "gets injured if Some farts on him " faoso rubbish team selection . Jr Paulo only playing 30 min rubbish rotation system
  • Too bad we didn't swap Sandow for Gordon would of been a lot better at fullback & better goal kicker
    • A couple of missed tackles??? Go have a look at the missed tackle count for us and for Souths and then report back.

      Our defence was bad, thankfully Souths attack was equally bad.
  • Good first blog and welcome mate, i agree we defended well apart from a few individual tackles, i thought we were ok tonight, we are certainly in an official slump but we fought hard, our halves are the worst in the comp, neither could set anyone to score in a brothel with a fistful of fifties.

    Kelly easily the worst half and Corey the worst 5/8 despite the ridiculous wraps given to him on here who are so used to our halves being poor for so long they are content and excited by mediocrity.

    Chris was terrible tonight, only a complete idiot has ever mentioned his name and FB in the same breath, he is as much as a FB as Mannah is.

    T everybody has the right to bag out their team after 30 years of embarrassment and thats part of a site like this.

    We wont come good this year, in fact im now putting a few hundred on us getting the spoon.

    Having said that credit where credits due, he boys tried hard tonight.

    cheers

    • I know snake whats with the Norman wraps there killing me . I honestly started second guessing myself I see him do nothing
  • I completely agree Snake

    Must be hard for the forwards to keep putting in when their hard work is wasted

    We got lucky with Sandow at FB, it could have been a lot worse.

    Please drop Norman. I want to see how we go without him. Drop all who won't be signed next year and give the young kids ago (Matterson, Folau, Lavaka). They won't do much worse.

    Actually I would really like to see Matterson and Sandow as the halves in FG 

  • Brilliant last kick by Norman, 90 seconds to go 2 down and he puts it over the deadball line on a deadtrack.

    What is Norman's success rate for stopping it in goal - must be similar to our goal kicking stats

  • Honestly? Do they give us a reason to talk postitve? There hasn't been any improvement for how long now? Dosent seem like there will be any time soon.
