I was really prepared to stay calm for a lot of the start of the season.

But this game was really concerning. It was head dropping during adversity.

Very rarely do teams turn around after that starts happening

Same,
I thought I’d be fine with a slow start cause of last year but that was just egregious.
Talking heads can talk their talk now, we officially look rudderless.
 
I wonder if I dare say it two games in, but we're showing the telltale signs of a burnt out team. When was the last time the defending premiers went 0 and 2 to start the year?
 
Just too ragged in defence. Contact wasn't good enough and they can't defend a kick to save their lives.

Parramatta with a very skinny 10m. They received a very good whistle tonight. I don't know how you can take Reynolds out like that and nothing comes of it.
 
We all hate the media scrutiny but, you can’t tell me this team is on the same page.
They look tired, they look disinterested and they aren’t playing for one another.

We should have kicked on early.
Absolute disgrace.

Utter disaster.

- Reynolds needs to give it away. He's done.

- Staggs had probably the worst game of his career

- Second Row is now a massive problem

- We just look so mentally out of it at the moment. We don't look like a team defending our title.

IBM your last line is the most concerning and defence IMO.
 
I think we just got completely gassed and with it came the errors. We also got absolutely smashed by the ref after 25 mins, so not sure what happened but it did.

Gosiewski and Tawha need to be replaced. Mam's defense is putrid. I think Reynolds needs to be dropped and just call it an injury.
 
well very disappointing.

you know what, though?
we still went on to win arguably the best nrl final series in the history of nrl .

im going to go rewatch the highlights from every game right now to cheer me up.

keep heads high lads it is a long ass season. anything can still happen
 
I can see us going 0-5 after what we've showed in the first couple of rounds. That was ****ing disgraceful. Team needs to lift badly.
