Flanno is going to use the Bird injury to justify not making any non-forced changes. Because first in line to get dropped is Kyle. Eisenhuth just behind.

You give him an easy pass. If he's that fatigued, he's not fit enough.

Would've been bad for them to would have been bad for them to lose to a team with Flanno, Brown, RFM and Eisenhuth.

It's not an easy pass. If you have ever played or coached at this high level you will understand this. If you are a coach worth half your salt and you see that your opponent has moved a fatigued 2nd rower into the centres next to Flanagan then you change your game plan to target that weakness. Your talking about a state centre up against a 60 min 2nd rower and a defensively poor 5/8. It is a recipie for disaster. Good coaching by Ciraldo. Just my views

I haven't but those were 3 pathetic misses which a first grader has no business doing. One of them was just after halftime. 3 were within 10min of halftime.

At least they didn't get 50.

If you look at Eisenhuth stat's he usually plays between 40 - 60 mins a game, usually being replaced about 20 - 25 min into the game. Defensively Eisenhuth has been one of our better performers. It was just fatigue and having a left edge defensive line structure with Eisenhuth next to Flanagan next to Rav was always going to be a bridge too far

Ya think? The first 3 of those are very far from high-flying Bullgrubs rejects. If we are going to pick up rejects you'd think at least they could be Penrith, Melbourne, Rorters or Broncos rejects.

I understand you but as he is in the team specifically for his defence, don't you think no matter how fatigued, those misses just weren't good enough? Needs a stint to try and get his mojo back in the NSW Cup.

Tom Eisenhuth is a Melbourne reject.
Before
jodragon40 goes off on me, I know he hasn't been that bad until tonight. But I wouldn't say he's been good either.

Just saw the second half h/ls, pathetic defense by Eisenhuth, RFM and Rava in our end zone. We badly need an injection of pace in our outside backs.

Fox has only Jack running over 100m.. again. Add his 35 tackles and another herculean game from him.

Agree mate , but there were a lot worse than young Flanno out there ...... The Sook again out played by a fringe 7 his kicking game is imbocolic ( if that's a word) or it's a new word for Hunt ........ Every kick went straight to the Fox

In one word, a woeful last 40. I am seething!!! Nothing has changed since the Grubs thrashed us last year, different head coach, defense and attack coaches and supposedly the best fitness bloke in the business, same bloody result.

There were consecutive tries where supposedly one of our best defensive players Tom Eisenhuth was brushed away like a pesky fly then a slow as a turtle RFM watched as a bloke run round him like he wasnt there to score. I saw Rava go inside twice and miss his man allowing their outside backs to waltz in for tries, just too slow to recover. He has repeated this scenario countless times in the past three years.

I thought it was 3 in a row. First one where I think Crighton brushed him off as though he wasn't there. Second I think was Burton and I'm sure the 3rd was their backrower Preston.

Our worst buy of the season without doubt.
R. Faitala-Mariner 17 RM, 11 tackles. Has yet to give us 100m in a single game, is as slow as a turtle and lacks any kind of passion. No wonder the Dogs got rid of him and we like fools snapped him up.
