also let rip about The lop sided penalty count

for the last 10 minutes i was waiting for the 1st tackle square up penalties-but they never came.
must only happen when we are the ones with more penalties early on(not that that happens much!)

Des is clown. What happened to Harper we were so desperate to get him we got him a mid season release from the dogs and Des doesn't even try him.

 

[Luke_m]

11-4 Penalty count is a joke but nothing this year from the refs surprises me Anymore

 

[chuckee]

Baz would’ve played Albert Hoppa already

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Anyone would think we lost by 40, not 2 points.

Team down on experience;

Some hometown ammonium nitrate dump refereeing; and a

Critical injury for the fullback at a key moment.

It could have been much worse.

Yeah, I know, but just venting and disappointed. At the start of the season it was a year we all had high hopes for and to see it turn to such **** is quite frankly .... ****ed.

Yeah I'm with you. We are a pretty tough team, and can hang in well when we want to.

Although, we are also extremely dumb, and make life extremely hard for ourselves a lot of the time.

That last 30 minutes of the first half was littered with junior footy errors.
Kick out on the full. Check
Give away mindless penalty on tackle 4 right on our own goal line . Check
Numerous dropped ball under zero pressure. Check
Rushing up out of the defensive line, and miss tackles. Check
Etc, etc.

Im not especially down on the team, just fustrated that we make it so hard on ourselves, on top of the injuries, refs, etc.

You know what to do @strone33

You mean he would’ve played pranks on him at the pub already?

It is much worse. Thats our season gone and lucky us we get Slowfua back next week. Yay

 

[Steve76]

Aah I'm way past it. I surround myself with coaches that offer nothing. We got no attack and struggle in defence.

 

[ricardo]

Garrick at the back? Can't wait

 

[sheridanstand78]

So the solution to fill full back is to put Funa or Garrick back there and bring in Jorge, this sums up how poor our selections are and we allow a rookie to play for another team in the mean time? This is just adding to the confusion that many of us feel right now!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Look I am just coming out of the doghouse with the wife now, approx. 210 minutes after full time.

It's another loss... it cant be worse...

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Silly errors and defensive decisions

Not really surprising is it with the winger at fullback, the left winger on the right wing, the centre to the wing and the back rower to the centres ?

 

[chuckee]

Most likely

More baffling decisions!!!

 

[frank stokes]

More baffling decisions!!!

Particularly as we have people who can fill those positions...
