To be honest, I don't recall Thurston playing as badly as DCE did today with what was at stake. No doubts he has had bad games, but as another poster mentioned, his bad ones do not hit those sorts of lows. He is far more consistent and reliable at this stage. Hopefully, DCE will learn and develop that consistency in coming years. I never ever want to see a game like that from him again. EVER.
Yeah great goal line defense by Foran letting that player run over himTonight's performance, and last game against Canberra, he has looked particularly pedestrian overall. But tonight's game was complete crap by him. Foran has carried him the last 2-3 weeks.

Top 3 overrated who didn't perform.......Dce was in our top 3 today easily
All this bs about dce getting paid more than Thurston is only due to when the contract was signed. JT off contract would = much more than dce
Not his best game today but if you are going to single out one player as a result of that game you are a better judge than me
I am certainly concerned about the animal and aggression in our forwards, even for next year. We have let Mateo back in the fold.....have been saying all year he is a liability under pressure. We seem to sign players other clubs don't want and pay the price.
Lussick, Api, Brown, Myles. Are they the answer?
Look at the forwards the Roosters have on the bench.........they would be our best. Who honestly in our forwards would make their best ten forwards? Except for JT I don't see fire, skills and attitude in many others. Even he wasn't at his best in attack today. It is not just the effort today, but 2016 has me worried too.
Funnily enough I thought cherry tried hard in defence. His monster kicks for touch and that grubber that unfortunately hit the post. But yes, largely ineffective and should've done more, those kicks that gave them 7 tackles hurt us. Still, not his fault his team mates dropped the ball 15 times.I disagree somewhat. Foran played his guts out and did some good things. The brilliance of that first try was balanced by that dreadful miss in the dummy half try in the 2nd.
DCE was just deplorable today.
Worst performance in recent memoryI agree. The whole team were pretty well lazy and garbage. Heck, even one of my favorites on Trbokevic had an absolute shocker tonight. I hate it the weeks Manly gets positive press !!
We need an animal, that's for sure. A JWH, Sam Burgess type.
Worst performance in recent memory
