This team are also rans!

Changes will be forced now for the Penrith game. Aloiai for Jake. Hopefully Bully is ok. Can Simpkin play 80? If so I’d use Jazz or even Arthur at 13. Toff and Burbo are on the chopping block to be dropped - if we had guys to replace them.
Also if Seibold has the guts to drop em
 
While we didn't execute well our resolve was strong tonight, and it was a better effort than we gave against Cronulla.
Most things went Illawarra's way:
Jurbo knocked out early.
100-metre intercept try by Sloan
Down to 12 men when Sippers was marched.
Brooks denied a winning try
Lost the penalty count, at home!
The stats show we ran for more metres than Illawarra.
I actually thought we'd lose by more. Down our two premier props, although TKO has taken over well. And no Turbo.
All in all, I expected a loss. But if Turbo is back next week we will beat Penrith
I can’t agree with this assessment of our game. We were terrible. Shocking in the first half. Completions were disastrous. Our attack looked so out of sorts it was as though no one knew each other. And the most aggravating aspect was that certainly in this game and in the sharks game as well, both of those teams weren’t that good!! We could have and should have beat them. It’s just sub standard and unacceptable and the coach doesn’t seem to get that.
