**** me dead, this season is shaping up to be another 2021. Just bloodbaths every second game.
 
It wasn't as bad as it looked - we just couldn't hold the damn ball. Hustled in defence, really good effort at times. Just nothing went our way.

3 of their tries were just junk tries. Still count unfortunately. As soon as the draw came out and the WCC was set for England I was like yeah f**k round one.
just curious bro, did you get the tatt
 
I agree, they all need a huge boot up the arse. Last night's showing was pathetic in terms of execution. Xman, Riki, and Staggs all put into holes with the try line beckoning all three dropped their bundle.

A simple pass to Paddy- put down. A simple pass from Haas to Hunt - put down. A simple pass to the Karp from Shiba - not even put down straight out into touch. Twice we were carried into touch with the ball- I mean FFS boys!

How about the Walsh kick into the back of his team mate ?
 
- Ben Hunt is passed it, the first 2 times we get good ball and he kicks it on the 3rd and the 4th with nothing even on? Then when he moved to 9, his service has to be the slowest in the comp, it just gives our outside men no time or space , can’t pass off the deck
- Reynolds kicking game isn’t the same, he doesn’t have the height or length he used to , his running game is also non existent- we will struggle if we play these 2 the entire season imo
- Staggs was off, made that many errors and dumb decisions, sprinting out the line for no reason caused a try, he dropped it the set before, playing and jumping at a kick that Penrith went back 20m and re gave them the ball, hogging the ball with mariner wide open, he cost us quite a lot tbh
- Jack gos has been serviceable, but he isn’t up to first grade, he gets folded in attack, and his defence is disgraceful, he is too slow
- I think it’s time we go to market to replace Riki, year after year it’s the same crap with him, for someone so big and so athletic he struggles to bend the line or look a threat, runs like a fairy
- Ezra is an 80 minute 6, he is one of the best in the league , leave him there.. hard for halves to get into the game coming off the bench - poor decision making by Madge
- why is haas playing 80? He came off then straight back on for a hia, but give the bloke a spell, he is less effective playing those minutes
- a real concern never feel confident when a high ball goes up, we drop it more often than not
- rarely win short drop outs I’m not sure why?
- I think Ben hunt needs to be jersey 19, and we call upon him if we need to.. mozer into 14 , it’s either hunt or Reynolds, we can’t run them both the entire year it will be a shit fight


- Penrith weren’t great themselves, if we can fix a few thing, and clean up the errors we will be okay, it was round 1 at the end of the day
 
Those two halves can't play together again. Need better backrowers.

Everything else will sort itself out.
 
That's the problem with being a comeback team, your luck will run out eventually and when it does it's not a pretty sight.

Good that it happened early on and against a premiership rival. Hopefully Madge was able to drive home that as the reigning premiers everyone is coming for you every week, and if you dish out performances like that, that's what you'll be going back to the dressing room with post game.

The benchmark has been set, let's see if we can rise to it.
 
One game ! ... one freakin' game !! ... and already the pundits (aka dumbshits) are calling the season over, Broncs can't go back-to-back ... Fifita is the "buy of the season" ... Panthers are a shoe-in for the flag .. yadda yadda yadda ... all after one game !!! . Can we start a thread that chronicles these predictions and shove them up their collective, expert butts at season's end. I lived in the UK for a few years and Sky Sports over there have a choice of 3 commentaries .. the Sky commentator .. a couple of fans from each side (pretty funny when the banter starts) .. and my personal favourite .. Crowd noise, like being at the game, no commentary whatsoever .. paradise.
