POST GAME Round 15 - Knights vs Broncos

[Brocko]

Boyd can't even do the easy things. Like letting the kickoff go dead. Or tackling someone. Or running. And Macca is like watching someone in slow motion. Then yeah Oates head isn't there, or his hands. Not too many issues with anyone else. Refs are shit too actually. Once we had a chance to go on a comeback they started blowing calls against us.

We have had some shit goes with refs this year but that wasnt one of them. They kept us within 14 points.

 

[Super Freak]

What, like finishing 2 points behind the minor premiers last year? Oh yeah, we were really as bad as we have been this year. This is currently worse than Henjak.

People just have short memories.

Like I said...

 

[Ponga01]

We wont have any of our origin players they will all be in camp

Yeah just noticed

 

[Aldo]

We wont have any of our origin players they will all be in camp

Should we have any origin players?

 

[Super Freak]

I think we might be without the Origin players, but not 100% sure.

Yeah, we will be.

 

[winslow_wong]

What we should do is go out and sign up Karmichael Hunt for the next year and a half. He would fix a lot of problems for us imo.

Return of the rightful heir to the throne. Could be the tonic we need.

 

[Galah]

I just read on fb courier mail saying we a resigning lodge for 3 years at 700 and tpj 3 for 650! **** off tpj is worth anything more then offa! And lodge for that matter too.

 

[Wolfie]

Like I said...

Thats your anti bennett agenda talking. We have never been as consistently bad under Bennett as we are now even when we were losing games.

 

[Ponga01]

What happens in the second row with no origin players and no Su’A?

 

[KnToad]

7 out of last 21.
Hopefully it is obvious to all now.
You cant sign a second year coach for 5 fucking years

I for one was a fan of the Siebold move. I followed him a bit at Souths and thought this guy might turn into a great coach. Now I’m beginning to think he inherited a tough team that Madge built and just tweaked them. This team he has inherited from Bennett is anything but tough and has some old tired junk in key positions backed up by a bunch of kids. Can’t see a way out of this anytime soon....

Jamil Hopoate probably.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Prepare your assholes because I'm going in dry, because right at this moment, this team is bottom 4 quality.

1. Milford - Full credit to him, in a well beaten side he shook off the fullback rust pretty quickly and at the end looked like our most threatening player. Even so, it still didn't amount to much, and as our highest paid player he must realize he is gonna get some heat. 5
2. Oates - Signs a new contract and is immediately well out of form. It doesn't get much more clearer than that how shit this season has been. However his shit form is just a symptom of broader problems. 4
3. Staggs - Didn't shame himself and was good with the goals but was otherwise unsighted. At the very least is far, far better centre than his partner. 5
4. Shibasaki - Absolute trash. Offers nothing in either defence or attack, has a stupid haircut and wouldn't make first grade at any other side. He stands as a beacon to the massive depth problems we have right now. 3
5. Kennar - Pretty similar to Oates form in a lot of ways. Didn't do anything overtly bad but wasn't a stand out either. Again, a symbol of our big problems with depth. 4
6. Boyd - It is no coincidence that as soon as Boyd moves to the halves, our attack goes from bad to miles worse. He is fucking done. I couldn't care less if dropping him would piss off the players, suck it up. He's shit and he's done. 0
7. SoS - Hard to get a read on because of the form of the whole side but I'm not seeing any reason why Dearden should be feeling concerned. Knows how to give away a cheap error. 5
8. Lodge - Can't fault him for effort but he ends up with the ball more times then his halves because his hooker is a useless fuckwit. 6
9. McC - OH LOOK it's the useless fuckwit. As soon as Turpin replaced him we looked half threatening. Passes it one out to forwards because he doesn't know what else to do, grapples like a bitch in tackles and often falls off and brings the entire teams tempo down to Mitch McConnell turtle level. He must go and go now. 0
10. Haas - Again, can't fault his effort, he made some good runs in the 2nd half, but nowhere near enough of an effort to say he can hold his head up while the rest can't. 6
11. Fifita - He is obviously a work in progress but in a well beaten side, I think he was one of our betters. Finally got some decent minutes and gave the defence headaches at times. Still, well beaten...6
12. Gillett - Honestly, he isn't where he should be for his profile and pay grade. The honeymoon for the injury excuse is quickly running out of time, and when it does suddenly people start to wonder if you aren't cooked. 4
13. TPJ - Put in a really good 400k a season performance.....5

14. Turpin - Once again our only shining light. As soon as he came on, we looked like a side with some energy and movement. It was way too late a move by the coach who I'll deal with in a minute, but to be honest he has a right to demand being a starting hooker at this point, and if another club offers him that he would be mad not to take it. 7
15. Joe O - Another textbook nothing Joe O performance. Didn't seem to turn the momentum when he came on and just largely mediocre. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect in a side beaten. 4
16. Flegler - I fear he has regressed a bit because of the teams piss poor form. He doesn't seem to have the aggression he had early on in the year coming off the bench. Still, he is a far better option than anyone else we have. 4
17. Carrigan - Wasn't impressed. Can't really even remember him being out there. Benefit of the doubt and all that but I'm not seeing what you're seeing @Wolfie 4

And finally the coach. Anthony, listen to me man. You must get your claws into this playing group and fucking fast. There is a lot more to commanding a side and a club then just chopping and changing players until you find the 17 that will just tolerate you the most. You MUST sell your philosophy to them and soon, otherwise you will be a coach without a team as early as next year. Bennett and Souffs might be in a slump, but they're still well within their rights to be laughing at us right now, and frankly at the end of the day that is on you, and let me tell you this, fans are not gonna be able to cop much more of it.

And the idiot let go of a bloke like Moose.

 

[007]

Its current Seibold vs the rot - and the rest of the playing group are stuck in the middle. That rot is the remenance of Bennet and includes Boyd and attitudes.

 

[Dexter]

I dont really do over reactions, but Seibold out.

Are you hearing anything about AS and his relationship with the squad.
Something is off at the club

You dont see it because you arent very bright i think

 

[ostin86]

If those of you who follow the NBA, how good was Darius 'shaqtin the fool' moment tonight haha

Tbh, i havent heard anything really negative tbh, which is why i'm so surprised that we look like they just dont want to play for him.
