It’s just a little defensive lapse.
It’s still good, it’s still good.
It’s just a few unforced errors.
It’s still good, it’s still good.
It’s just a lack of discipline.
It’s still good, it’s still good.
It’s gone isn’t it?
Yep!

But yeah, I actually think we will be fine 👋
 
Anything to be gleaned from the fact we completely collapsed following Haas big **** up?

watch reynolds get needled up for the next game and last 12 minutes

Dead set want him to miss a month or two of footy and see how different we look in attack.

He can't kick long, he can't run, he can't defend in the line (the letting the lead runner run into you trick doesn't work any more ARey). He's spent... why he's gone another year is beyond me.

I think small stuff like our discipline and some of those penalties will be worked out as we go.

Our fitness concerns me, last year we weren't saying how shattered we looked in the final 10 of a game and that's very concerning.

Piss away a preseason for an exhibition match and this is the outcome I guess.

Reynolds looks like he can barely move, our 2rfs are absolutely terrible, and PVL has ruined the game again with his emphasis on keeping the ball in play: once parra got momentum at the 30th min mark off the back of a BS 4th or 5th tackle 6 again they never lost it

That wasn't on the game though (not being able to get momentum back) - that was on us either dropping the ball or not knowing how to tackle.

YEs we were terrible and deserved to lose, but it's a sign of things to come this season
 
Walsh is having serious issues under the bomb at the moment. He needs to work on it.

I thought Reynolds started of pretty well. Was running at the line, kicking well... there were alot worse players on the field than Reynolds.

It's not really about the quality of his performances, it's the fact he can't stay on the field.

I don’t want to be too negative because this group just won the comp but wtf was that? Why is Riki simply incapable of the basics…
We have too many liabilities, JetSki and Riki offer nothing, Staggs is too dumb

How did Riki bottle that try. He had 1 guy to beat and 2m to make. How do you not just charge over from there...
 
The only players I have time for were Karapani and Mariner and that’s just because they were solid. The team looks like they’re trying but we need to refresh and reset this week. These guys look tired already.
 
How have we regressed so much that we can’t do the basics…..again.

No one wants to play for each other.
No one has the energy.
No one seems to care enough.

What’s Madge’s plan because if it’s a repeat of last year, then I won’t watch the broncos until round 17 or whatever it was from last year for their run.

It is fkn putrid what they dish up.

Anyone who didn’t do the basics need to be punished. This is not park footy.

And why is it that two weeks in a row we **** up, the opposing team punish us.
The opposing team **** up and we seem to be caught up in a whirlwind of stupidity and not punish them.

Melbourne are salivating this game and will put 40+ pts on us if we dish up that shit again.

Payne and Patty were visibly tired….Madge is clearly working them too hard. FMD ease up on them.
