How are we feeling on our chances for the remainder of the year? Is Origin players a legit excuse? Is there concern and leading us to having a dreadful finish to the year? 46 points making you feel we cannot recover from that?
Warriors fans claim they players out too, please. Added Canterbury put 36 on Souths who had players missing, we would have gotten 20 or so points had we played Bulldogs tonight, I'm certain.
4 points away from technically season over with that 50 point stat. Though look at Newcastle in 2001, three times they had 40 put on them. Including 46-18, 40-0 and 42-8. Two of those with Johns playing. I mean 40 point game does not mean season is over thankfully. Same with Roosters in 2002, 48-10. Canterbury in 2004 36-6, North Queensland had 40 put on them in round 1 2015. Most of these they were full strength.
So I think next week is a massive indicator of where we are, if we can as a group react to BA's criticisms which he was obviously disappointed. An average performance next week obviously is concerning, though 46 points I cannot fathom, it is not season over. 50 on th other hand....

That stat doesn't apply when you are missing nearly half your best starting 13. Having said that I didn't want them to hit 50.
That game means literally nothing in the context of the season other than making it that much harder to finish top 4. Put it out of the mind - move on.
1. Both mid year recruits Davey and Offa have been average at best. Even young Moretti showed more heart
2. Sivo is bloody lazy. Where are the coaching staff telling this 110kg winger to get more involved. He needs to be laying the platform for the forwards with 1st or 2nd hard fast carries (aka Penrith outside backs)
3. Dylan Brown, such a let down. Downing 15-20 beers on a week off. Poor attitude for someone with such great potential. Thinking talent alone (not hard work and discipline) will get him to the top. Another Jarryd Hayne in the making.
4. Junior Paulo, just needs to go back to basics. Hard runs and quick play-the-balls. The game is all about ruck speed and retreating defence, not standing in tackles or post contact metres.
I think most of us trust Joe O will come good but he needs to get rid of his tigers attitude and form. I don't expect much from him until he gets a pre season under him at eels. So 2024 he should be good. Just dk if he should be in the team till he fixes that up. I have really been liking Moretti.
Ofa will come good, 2nd half he was pretty good. Seemed he got kick up the arse.
Seems Ofa is positive reinforcement type player.
Davey unfortunately is showing his age, nice player to have in depth but that is it. Should usher his way to bench for Lane next week.
If we can stay fit - I believe we can win any game. We just have to have the mindset and stay positive. I'm really worried about Jnr and Sivo... Jnr is a real plodder atm - trying to much like a 6... And Sivo runs as hard as my grandma... I'm hoping top 4..🤞
Sivo is useless in my opinion and Junior is past it
I agree to that. He makes terrible descisions when defending the line. I think they don't care.
What terrible decisions did he make in defence? Pretty sure that was lumelume mate who was terrible defensively. I think we can all agree Sivo isn't a high involvement player but what he does do well he does very well.
Agreed. I actully think Sivo's decision making in defence is a lot better than in previous years. When he jams in now he usually shuts the play down. The right side of Matterson, Penisini and Lumelume was the issue in defence.
Had Dyl played the defence obviously is better, we still lose but it would have been like 30-20 type score.
