All I will say is **** THE NRL, THEIR SHITTY SCHEDULING AND THE FUCKING REP SEASON SCHEDULE.

I'M FUCKING SICK OF IT!!!

THAT IS ALL.

EDIT: AND **** GALLOP TOO, GET A FKING CLUE HOW IS THIS SHIT FAIR ON TEAMS LIKE US.

 

[user_nat]

Missing Lockyer and Thaiday (+ injured crew) is unfortunately not a good excuse for that embarrassing defensive effort.

Also unfortunate, I don't think we can scapegoat that one on McCullough. Mc/Baptiste > Mc/Hunt >>>>>>>> Mc/Beale/Norman.

Why would you do a grubber at the half way line when you are only 6 behind with 20 to go? How dumb.

I really don't like how we are heading down the same route as the previous 2 years. These losses wouldn't be nearly as bad if it wasn't for the history.

I could complain forever.

 

[Big Pete]

We were just dominated up front and Manly scored some real roulette tries.

When you're missing the likes of Hoffman, Hodges, Lockyer, McGuire, Thaiday, Gillett and Hunt it's going to bite you somewhere.

Frustrating all-round and now after a great start we find ourselves on a slide.

Next week is a big week.

 

[Donny]

Shit attack, Shit defence, Shit effort.

 

[Crazy Sam]

Well **** me. I get home at halftime and effectively watch the broncos lose 30-0. Pathetic stuff.

 

[Donny]

If it wasnt for Teo and Hannant we would of been beaten by 50+

Broncos of 2010 here we come. Come next friday it will be 5 weeks since we have won a game.

 

[Big Pete]

Next week we're up against Cronulla in Cronulla.

Certainly winnable with our full contingent back but we'll have to wait and see.

Are there any positives we can draw out of tonight? Ben Hannant? Kurt Baptiste?

 

[Kimlo]

I like Baptise, Hannant is one of a few quality props at our club.
Hala and McGuire are good too, we need Thaiday to play front row because we're short on front rowers.

I prefer Carlaw to Kenny at least he doesn't get pushed backward every run.

 

[Dee]

I am so fucking disappointed.
What was that?!
My god......

 

[Ghibli]

At least we can come to the conclusion that Gagai is hetrosexual, if he wasn't he'd be able to hang onto the ball(s)!!!

Kenny and Gagai should not play again this year!!!

But then again, the whole team (except a few) were terrible!

[icon_lol1.
He was pretty bad.

 

[markmac]

As soon as our starting props came off we struggled. Anderson didn't look like much chop at the game, same on tv? I think having Anderson and Dodds on at the same time lacks go forward. Baptiste looked handy and definetely deserves another run on the bench. Corey Norman needs to play Q Cup and start dominating there before we play him in first grade and rest all our hopes on him post Locky...

As was mentioned before, if Manly had the injuries and reps resting I think the margin would have been a lot closer. I wouldn't mind Cherry-Evans at the broncs. I think he might be something special one day.

 

[pennywisealfie]

The defense down our right was fucking abysmal. Copley was so shit.

 

[Alec]

I agree with Gould, Yow Yeh's positioning was awful. It didn't help that Copley and Norman aren't very good defenders either.

 

[ningnangnong]

I agree with Gould, Yow Yeh's positioning was awful. It didn't help that Copley and Norman aren't very good defenders either.

Yes, but Gus kept saying Yow Yeh doesn't know how to rush in and shut down trouble, when he's pretty much done it every game this season - usually belting the opposition player in the process.

I'd put his indecision tonight down to having an unfamiliar player on his inside in Copley. Copley's defence is really worrying, tonight's not the first time he's looked completely lost.

I thought that other than Hannant, our props were absolutely dominated by Manly's pack. They just looked fitter, faster and stronger in all aspects.

Their halves were also far superior to ours in kicking, and in creating holes in the defence.

Baptiste impressed me. Te'o did very well considering he's coming back from a broken arm. Glenn was also solid as usual.

I know it's Origin period and we're missing some of our big names, but I'm a little bit concerned.

 

[noisetheory]

not having hodges on the right side is costing us.

i dont know what else to say, so disappointed, again.

kenny is a punching bag.

a few other young 'guns' just seem to be lost in the nrl.

 

[Professor47]

Nah we'll be right, we just need to get our shite together again. I have to say, When Locky/Thaiday/Hodgo don't play ... we're like a different team - which is fair enough.

I think we can once and for all end the P Wallace debate though. He can't lead a team on his home - his a good support act but the Broncs need a leader in the half post-Locky. Which means we need to buy someone because it ain't going to be a young gun.
