No Heart

[maxta]

We level at 14 all
Fall away from there ???
EVERY other team coming from behind has gone on to Win .... except Manly
Just kind of clocked off
Boo me
Boo them
But absolutely terrible

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

To many ball handling errors killed us unfortunately.

 

[Phobia]

I think most of the team seemed to be full of effort... Just the big three were completely absent.

I cannot wait for the day that the Turbos and DCE go. That "big three" are one of two constants in this decade of ruin. Where on earth have our premiership winning standards gone? Those three are woeful.

Bring on Fogarty, Navale, Hopoate... Honestly anyone. I'm sick of this era.

We can't compete with the best because we don't have the forwards. Pure and simple.
Yes, we've lost Paseka, but he'd hardly be enough to turn us around.

Of greater concern is there is little real talent out there even if we do go to market.
Combine that with a lack of new blood in the lower grades and it doesn't auger well for the next 5 or so years.

When you look at the 8 and 10 of the best teams, you start to see why we struggle.

 

[Wombat64]

Putrid effort

 

[Under the Sticks]

One of the most underwhelming and over the hill forward packs we have ever fielded.

Don’t fear we have another tired aged FR in Lodge to come back and a broken makeshift hooker in Froggy.

Sadly Tartak controlled our future forwards who have now disappeared at the Dragoons and simmering at the Tigpies.

Don't say that they are adding two new teams on top of the Dolphins I have been told there is plenty of talent

 

[Disco]

That butchered try between Brooks and Koula was a turning point

Agreed. We will struggle for years and years unless we get a better pack. Ola & bully our only good forwards. Paseka isn't even that good lets be honest. Burbo Sipley brown jazz aloia all rubbish !

I agree with the sentiment here - these players really don’t give a ****, hence I’ve become the fair weathered fan. All these are are blokes in Maroon coloured jerseys, whatever that means to them.

I’m with @Phobia, let’s move on from this Turbo-DCE-Jurbo era. Hasn’t worked, and died with jersey gate never to come back.

I don’t think DCE has ever forgiven half his team for that.

This year has been one of the worst honestly. It will only get worse if the talent is spread so far out

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

That butchered try between Brooks and Koula was a turning point

Yeah, that wasn't good. Neither was Garrick gifting them a try. Or any number of passes Haumole threw that led to turnovers in possession (like the one before the Garrick fumble). But tempted as I am to blame one play or one player, really, it was all of them. As a team, we were woeful and simply didn't deserve to win. If Player X hadn't have f**ked up, you can bet your life Player Y would have done so two minutes later.

Are you suggesting DCE would hold a grudge 🤣

I think you just offended the Perth Bears who have outplayed us this week!

Five day tun around. I'm selling a special cowboy lube blend for next week now ....... Get on it early .... I find early lubing helps.

That butchered try between Brooks and Koula was a turning point

We got beat by 16? The turning point was a flat pathetic effort in the first half from a substandard pack with a captain who has checked out. In reality there was so much luck in that first try ,shark error , miskick ny Ola that fell to Saab. Individual effort from Koula for the second after a DCE brain fade.Otherwise we had nothing.

Anyone who thinks that pack with an uninterested DCE and mortally wounded Tommy is making the eight needs to reconsider.

Our pack is the worst in the comp. Our bench is the worst in the comp and we have no first grade standard hooker in the entire club.

And lastly .., I doubt Jake makes any sides starting side at prop and he is definitely not a bench player.

Hard to swallow I know but these are the facts.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

SHOCKING SHOCKING SHOCKING, VERY VERY VERY DISAPOINTED, thank GOD we didn't travel 5hrs to watch such performances. My 20 yrs interstate membership's on a knife edge, 10+yrs of ****TTT. Simpkin, TKO, Koula & Burbo whom I dont've the time for played really well, specially Simmo he's tough & TKO gained lots of yardage. Love da way Burbo played today, with lost of toughess & agression, he need more of it.

 

[bob dylan]

Too many stupid passes.

Our fullback in about 40% fit and a shadow of what he was?

Our forwards just cant do it week in, week out. We need at least 3 new forwards urgently.

On a positive note I think we have addressed our hooker issue.

How does it perform in combo with spurs?
