I think you are probably pretty close with that assessment. It was a very disappointing result today. One of the biggest under Siebold I think. Mainly because we had everything in our favour leading into the game coming off a long break. I think he probably knows we will be rank outsiders to beat the Cows in Townsville. The season is hanging by a thread.Doubt they'd want him.
Worse was Seibold's demeanour at the presser. I'm normally a supporter of Seibold but his body language seemed defeated, as though he might know what the problem is but doesn't see a solution.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it because of disappointment, not at losing (well yes, at losing, but in particular at how badly Manly played)
Our recruitment has been stuffed ever since Noel Cleal left with Des to the Dogs all of those years ago.Watch Erin Clarke play every week. Warriors got him for nothing after he left a few years ago.They now have an elite 13 and it shows in their results. You could see his ability in a **** Titans side.There are players out there if you can identify them , which is why the Storm is the benchmark.
.
We recruit old cast offs with a comp wide known ceiling ; not even an attempt to identify young hungry guys who won’t break the bank and cost the same as these known plodders. Outside of Grant Nelson and Stefanie the Storm pack and bench consists of multiple guys who came cheap and had the right mindset.
This is the area that is killing us … this craven desire for experience rather than punting on potential. Let’s face it , could young eager kids go worse than the conga line of geriatrics we employed over last few years - it’s farcical. It defies logic.
Agree with most of the things you said. Two things I can’t get my head around and can someone please explain it to me.Well, that was rough. Really rough. Team looked so lifeless it was bizarre. Time to drop the “Fear the Fortress” BS, I don’t think anyone is fearing playing here anymore after 3 straight losses. What a joke. DCE has played ONE half decent game since his announcement, shocking to absolutely nobody we won that game he was half decent in. Amazing what your halfback putting in effort does.
I’m not even going to get mad at Seibold, he picked the team we all wanted aside from Waddell.
Gonna need some serious discussions with Jurbo about if he should be in this team anymore. I love the guy but he does absolutely nothing in attack and our forwards really struggle in attack to get anything going, we rely on opposition errors and penalties to get up field now. He’s not the only one, but it’s really noticeable when our forwards looked better without him there 2 weeks ago. Speaking of the Trbojevic’s, Tommy was super quiet today, clearly not 100% and was very reluctant to just get involved at times. He only does that if he’s not well.
Koula did his thing, unfortunately we just don’t get him involved enough. Looks good when we do, but for whatever reason that doesn’t seem to be the game plan. Our left edge throws it around but looks so unthreatening it’s wild, meanwhile the right edge throws it around and drops it.
That’s 2 home games straight we go down 14-0, make the big comeback and then throw it away. It’s like we need to go down by a big lead to realise we should start playing, but unfortunately it’s too late by that point. If the team aren’t up for it big time next week, it’ll really show how the attitude of the boys is at the moment.
It’s not even that painful anymore though, like I’m always annoyed at a performance like that but I said after that round 2 loss by 20 to the Wahs when we were being talked about as premiership contenders all week in the lead up that we were zero chance of doing anything big this year. When you know this team well and have watched them in recent years, that is enough to confirm it. Even after our big wins I knew it wouldn’t equate to much in the long run this year. Just how the team is now. Attitude is gone, there’s zero desire to get up for home games anymore.
Dunno where we go from here, maybe scrape into the 8 still? We just look worse than last year, which really sucks. Last year we competed in every loss bar the last 2, this year we are being torn apart frequently and having to try and make a comeback which falls short. Will always look forward to watching us play, but this year has a weird feeling for me, almost like I just know win or loss the end game will always be another year of wasted potential. Team is great, premiership material. Attitude is awful though, has been at times for years but this year recently I’m seeing it more than usual.
Hope they can prove me wrong but we’ve all watched this movie many times before 🤷♂️

hamstring tightnessI don’t understand why Tommy Talua is not in the side when in my opinion Saab doesn’t do much?
I think Ola & the whole team has lost support for DCE. The last month every players is different, Ola just doesn't seem to get as much balls as he used to, that's why he's trying hard to do it himself. I don't mind it actually, soon he'll get better it'll pay off and we might have another Beaver Menzies in our side. Also the opposition will think he'll run over the top of them but instead a grubber to in goal try... something different I guess won't hurt us, specially we don't have any halves in the team.What is it with Ola these last few games...
Seems to be trying to reinvent himself as a playmaker throwing wild passes & kicking in general play.
Presume it is under instruction, but will regret saying that as I don't want to feed the anti-Siebold trolls!
Hmmm…did say this before the game.Psssh...this is all everyone's fault.
You all wanted Jazz at lock, Jake at Prop, and Simpkin at hooker.
And we lost!
I blame all of youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ewes
Has a certain logic to it, lolIt would be good if there were three levels of pay for them i.e. a big pay for a win, an average pay for a draw and a bugger all pay for a loss. I'm sure then that they would be more enthused to put more effort into their performance if they want to be paid well because at the moment, where is the incentive to perform well. They know that they are going to be paid the same amount, win, lose, or draw. There is no personal hurt if they lose.
