Positives

Today was yet another loss, and as much as I hate losing, and I love to express my emotions after a loss, I want to throw a few positives out there to brighten everyone up.•Pauli Pauli was PHENOMENAL. Outstanding game from the youngster. Just the 9 runs, but for a whopping 120 meters to go along with 15 tackles.•Tep and Pauli created a very move rotation on the left edge. I though both played really well. Makes you wonder why they have been playing reserve grade for the most part of the season. RE-SIGN PAULI ASAP!•despite the lack of creativity, I thought Norman busted his ass today. Some people may disagree, but he ran the ball very well. I give him an A for effort. It's a pity he had no help... *kelly was useless*•Mannah played his best game of the season. Take it how you wish, and I'm still not a fan of him, but I though he was very good today. Consistently pleas Tim.•I also though Choc played his best game as an eel. He had some much better carries and was complemented with a try.•Manu was at his typical best.•2nd half was a positive. Came put firing, and I thought we were the better team today, it was just goal kicking that cost us. We out scored them 3 tries to 2 but unfortunately failed to convert a single goal.Anyway folks, we play the GI and Reynold-less rabbitohs next week. Let's hope we play for he full 80 and not just 40!

  • I agree with every thing apart from Kelly. I thought he did what he had to. Didn't win us the game but didn't loose it either.
    • Yeah I might be a a bit harsh with him. He wasn't too bad, just wasn't a match winner. In a way though, he did somewhat lose us the game though by not concertina single goal. That's why I'm so mad it him lol. 1 goal and we win.
  • kelly wasnt great but a much improved effort, a kicker would have been handy tho lol

  • Defence is Pauli's issue, terrible attempt, or lack of, to stop Thompson from scoring the winning try. He has so much potential but he must fix his defensive lapses.
    • It was Fa'aoso. 

    • If that's the reason for not re-signing Pauli (if reports are true), I'll stand under the Town Hall clock and I'll be fucked (thanks for the quote, and RIP Rex Mossop).

    • Unfortunately a lot of our fans ignore defence.

    • Should sign pauli their attack looked better when he come on. As you said parra lad he is only 20. If another club signs him up it will come back in our faces.
    • Yeah, we should be doing everything to keep him. Give him two seasons on first grade and he will be one of the best forwards in the game imo. Same to for Tep. All they need is experience. Playing ressies isn't going to do anything for them. It's not like we are going to win the comp this year anyway so we may aswell play some youngsters.
  • Mate as disappointing the loss was today I feel we really turned a corner in regards to effort and creating pressure, although it was majority 2nd half only we really stepped up. I really hope we get Pauli Pauli re-signed as we looked a lot better when he was on the field and as just as I hate seeing players get injured we also looked way better when peats knew that IDG was not coming back onto the field
