I am 36 years old and yet to see a premiership and I honestly don't think I ever will.
This club is so poorly managed it's insane, I usually try to be optimistic but man we are a joke.
* Dumpster needs to go, offers nothing. It's like he's afraid of being injured. Since his injury he's a shadow of the player he was.
* Sivo is so turnstile. He is built like a brick sh*thouse but runs the ball back like he has floral undies.
* I love gutho but he has no right to go at Will who's alll heart and did good tonight. He's not the problem. He needs to check himself, he's caused more try's for the other team lately then anyone on our team.
* Hodgeson should retire, not paying Reed a bit extra was fking dumb. He offered far more then old man river.
* If anything happens to Moses we are screwed, Jake seems like a nice kid but he's still got the body of a ball boy.
* Brown shows he is not a leader, he didn't step up. He just plays good when he feels like it.
* the coach is clueless, I am done unicorn supporting him. He needs to go and maybe we just rebuild AGAIN!!!
I am sure I'll get over this and get ready to be let down again next week.
Being a parra fan you can be optimistic but you know deep down they'll find a way to lose or let you down.
I hate being a emotionally invested fan in this team.. if only they were the same we might win some games.
Rant over ahhhhhhh

Cheer up mate at least you know you have the NRLs largest fan base suffering along side you. That's some comfort.
I feel for fans like you because at least we older fans got to experience a premiership.
We live in hope mate that someday soon the drought will break and you will finally to get feel what others felt years ago...
Some good points .
Guthersons a poor leader. When we are on it's all good as the poor leadership is wallpapered over , but when it's not going his way , his ego can't compute that he's the problem.
The last few weeks he's personally been responsible for leaking try's , tonight he was mentally beaten by the Raiders fans and players and his ego beat his own brain and the errors again crept in. Kudo to the Raiders they got in his head . How many times have we seen him abuse his troops when he's not exactly playing brilliant himself. That divides teams.
Brown, he's a choker. Typical entitled brat . As long as the media are talking about him like he's a superstar , winning comes second. There was some negitive chatter about him a few weeks back so he felt motivated to show them how good he is , then he's content. Just like Hayne was.
Agree and your not the only one who sees this
Most on here and around the NRL can see how bad Hodgson has been playing, or how little Dunster offers, or how weird picking Davey ahead of someone like Matt Doorey is. As a club we have no back bone. Arthur never challenges the refs in the presser, the board never challenge Arthur and put pressure on him, Arthur doesn't challenge his players, he will only drop a player once the club is done with a player, example Waqa and NBrown.
The part that frustrates the most, Arthur will roll with the same team next week, against a red hot Rabbitohs.
I thought Davey tackled everything that moved tonight. Topped the tackle count, and only fell off two. I didnt think he was bad at all.
Mate I'm in the same boat. 35 and its likely Brad Arthur will be extended until I die of old age. I can handle the losses. What I can't handle is the lack of any real change. Same game plan same players same piss poor recruitment each year.
Nice blog mate, I feel your pain I really do. I'm 46 years old and let me tell you when I was your age (not that I'm much older) it took me the whole week to get over a loss. Not winning the comp for 37 years probably add's to the pain, but a word of advice (I know it probably won't work) but there is more to life than footy. My kids taught me that and I can honestly say that even though I still wanna cry after every loss, they've helped me big time in not kicking stones the whole week. I'm grateful for that cause I reckon I would hade been 6 foot under with stress by now without them, agree on the blog as well, especially BA. He's dead set out of ideas, he thinks chasing the collision & getting through your sets is good enough & has no game plan when it doesn't work . I said to my daughter you watch them score just before half time and after half time. Every single time
Some raiders fan said to me on the way out, it could be worse, you could be a tigers fan. I said take a look at the ladder, we are one win above them. Seasons done, i had such high hopes after last season. Dumb penalties and plays cost us again. Ive been a big fN of the bush coach, but clearly something is not right. Ill be watching again next week (getting smashed by souths) but our season is done. I wont have to stress about gf tickets this year. So disappointed at the moment. Im sure im not the only one.
I feel your pain mate. I am 33 yet to see a premiership and getting increasingly frustrated. We need a coach who isn't afraid to cop a fine and call out BS when it clearly happens, Brad has been too soft in this respect.
I doubt a team this low on the ladder after this many games has been +20 in for and against ever in NRL history. I could be wrong, but you have to say one or two decisions go our way this season and we could be looking at a completely different position on the ladder.
Does that mean Brad is perfect? No he, has to change his tactics sometimes and play to our strengths, the power game might work if you are playing against teams such as the Panthers, but you need to understand when we are playing teams that bleed points to play to oyr strengths from the outset and not rely on the refs to call it even, when they may not
I agreed with you until the refs comment. We done a lot more damage to our chances tonight than the referee did
