Firstly, let me state, that I could not be more proud of the efforts of the team as a whole tonight. Massive effort. No team could win in the modern game with two sin bins and the set restarts and penalty count that at the very least stinks and reaks of the usual that fans have been screaming for years.
I have no intention of assassinating the players tonight but am going to make some comments which some will agree with and others won't. I get it. It is a forum.
RCG is a frigging beast. I did not want him when we signed him. He has totally earned my respect and admiration. He is now my favourtite forward. Performs week in and week out.
Grieg was a beast tonight and I have said he should be on our bench for a couple of years now. He was gassed, but did his job. Needs more fitness, but this bloke has so much to offer. Get the big fella fit and he could be one of the best props in the game.
Why has it taken so long for the so called coaches and management to realise how little Waqa Blake offers? The sooner he is gone, the better. I have also said this for years, at best he is a winger, and as I said, at best.
Sorry, but Sivo is lazy, offers little with carry backs and is fast showing he has no football smarts. One triick pony when close to the line and that is all he offers. Opposition have worked out his very limited game. Gutho, yet again showed what he offers this team. I hope the media rubnbish of this week, is exactly that. Gutho remains our fullback,.
I think the Gutho media is nothing more than a deflection as we need to sign a qualtiy centre. How has this stuff taken so long to come to be raised by the Club?
All said and done, bloody great effort tonight against adversity.

That was Sivo's worst game in the Blue and Gold I reckon but mate he's not the reason we are 1 and 4. Waqa Blake is doing a lot more wrong. We have issues in the middle as well defensively.
At the end of the day though I think our big backs and forwards were gassed after all the defence they had to do. Sivo's a power dude if he has to do endless defence he has all the sting taken out of him like a heavy weight fighter.
That first sin bin for an offside. I've never seen that before
Just yep!
Sivo didn't even use his one trick tonight when he should of run over Suali. Blake has passed to Sivo several times this year when there's been no room. I think Sivo is a little gun shy after being hospitalised by Blake several times this year
Atkins was initially saying he pulled someone but never did. Maybe he is still sore at us after we beat Penrith
I only ever seen 10 in the bin for offside once and I think it was Parra VS Roosters last year with Atkins refereeing 🤔 That has never been a professional foul
Proud of what?. The sin bins weren't the cause but the effect, the cause was piss poor D in the middle.
Starting with Hands will do wonders for the team
So you are that blind that you failed to see a massive effort despite the adversity.? Just OMG
I totally agree with you not sure what are we proud of. We have 1 game out of last 5 and people here thinks we can make it to 8😂😂😂😂
Al, bring in who ever you want and sack who ever you u want, but if the effort, attitude and team spirit are absent you get rolled week in out week. Our boys showed grit, determination and played the entire 80 minutes.
Over the years we have lacked this effort, sure we could have iced a couple of previous games and dropped a couple of nuffies to reserve grade and promote those deserving ... thats on the coach and his poor decision making - nothing new here :( BUT we have the team that can rattle the competition this year by a few tweaks.
Let's not forget the our fresh the opposition have been and the bias in repeat sets .. I think 5 or 6 in our 10, not sure how many other teams could of pulled that off.
I guess it's backs to the wall and we all know this area is where the boys tend to thrive .... Game on
Spot on re Greig and RCG. We get Lane back next week too.
Why the hell did Arthur take so long to put Hands on?? Hodgson was gassed-we we're gassed from no ball and 12 players and still no Hands until after half time! He is a fantastic defender and we looked so much sharper in attack with him out there
