Welcome to the bandwagon. The signs have been there right from the underwhelming trials. Whatever profound overhaul he's supposed to be bringing to the team I'm not seeing any evidence of it.

I'm not on the bandwagon, I'm saying the same things I've been saying from day one.

I'm sick of us using Sua and Fifita through the middle where they have very little impact. Play them back row or not at all.

We aren't really THAT bad. Raiders are throwing the ball around and the passes are sticking. Bird needs to stop coming out of the line every time play goes that way, it has become predictable. A few of the usual suspects........

I really was torn over the Bennett Seibold swap but wanted to be optimistic. I'm quickly losing faith though. Everything they are doing just looks so slow and unimaginative. Let's see how his half time pep talk game is.

Bennett wins out of all this. He would definitely ruin his legacy with this group where as at the bunnies he has a golden opportunity to boost his legendary status. Seibold is punching the air now with the direct swap.

McCullough has been great this game so far. No complaints here and one tremendous front on courageous tackle on a way way bigger man. I just want him to keep it up and if were Seibold I'd tell Milford if I see him go high one more time he'd be in ISC next week. Fucking terrible from Milford.
It hasn't been his worst game, I'll grant you that, but on the other hand he's done nothing helpful in attack, yet handled the ball nearly every play.

I think you'll find we did, at times.

That said, I really believe a lot of what is going on attitude-wise is about Wayne.

In my opinion we have gone to the next level of clueless. I never saw this level of confusion so often.

Check out the 18th minute attempted spiral pass from him though. Bounced before it even got to him. He needs to work on them. And fast.

I'm actually beginning to lose faith in Seibold. Awful team selections, no balls to drop players. If he is still doing the same shit with this team in a couple more rounds I think I'll be done with him.
Maybe inflated expectations is the real problem here. He was magically going to take us to the top 4 this year, remember that one? He's a total nobody and nobodies do very poorly at the Broncos. They won't reach double digits in victories this year.

That's the most fucked up thing. It's just these little things..has been for years. Weird, fixable things.

Seibold has been his own worst enemy so far.

Bennett done fucking great out of this. He's a decent chance of bagging another premiership. A better chance than if he'd stayed.

He's kicked well, made metres, been courageous in defence, cleaned up and his passing has been adequate and I'm NOT a McCullough supporter. Credit where it's due, more please in the second half.
