This was really an incredible loss. I was at the game and you could see Parra were already hanging on for dear life after 10-15 minutes. We were physically right on top. We should have won by 40. We didn't need any X-factor or brilliant attack to crack them yesterday. We only needed to be competent. Any well coached team with that physical dominance would have put 40 on Parra.

2 very big losses
It's OK. We're playing the Titans.

It's not OK if we lose.
How do we keep beating them? Why do they lose nearly every gamed they play?

I am annoyed at Flano (coach) ... For the last 20 minutes of that game when Luc was off he had Stewart playing edge forward. That meant our middle forwards were Ryan/Lawrie/Guler. None of whom can play that lock link role that a team needs when shifting quickly from side to side.
The result of that was Emre Guler getting the ball on the left with an overlap and not passing. Stewart absolutely has the brains to throw that next pass.
Stewart is our lock going forward for a number of years. If Flano thinks we need to carry a player who can play middle and edge then pick Halangahu on the edge and Luc on the bench in that role.
Actually hopeful given the shitty HIA/Suspension for the couchman boys that Halangahu gets the call up ... Loko probably would have too if not for the injury. Any chance he gets picked?

Toby not quite, was 92m when he left the field after that mush sandwich. He'd have done 140 minimum if he'd had played second stanza.

The bottom line is Gutho is too slow to take advantage of any defensive openings. Cant see him being extended or definitely no more custodian role for him.

I seem to have a little prob navigating the NRL stats page.
NRL website, go to our game each week, click on it and when it opens up there’s a section, 3rd one across, player stats. Click on that and away you go. Updates regularly during the game

I'm finding hard to switch on this site today after yesterday's performance. There's just no leadership and team management, we never look like winning, we dont know how!
Parra had players falling down everywhere and still no counter punch or willingness in the backs to take over........ Kyle is just not good enough, he kept passing only absolutely no creativity, there is none.
We may need to get young Reed in now. We have to change now, otherwise this will be the same outcome every week.
And Guler not passing to the overlap and a certain try. Look it all comes to WOW come on Flanno shake the f.....g tree.
