I didnt watch the game, but going off what I read here and on the LU forums if Hook tries to put any sort of positive spin on this performance I will lose my shit.

pathetic, soft pack of forwards, and no aggression in defense.
McCullough had better have been injured otherwise I have no idea why you bench him in the final 10 and shuffle around half the side.
Klein was terrible as usual, parramatta were offside and going early the majority of the game.

How embarrassing. . Your right Griffin,we don't need new players next year.. These ones are great.. All we needed was someone with X factor to break the game apart. . Folau would have been great.. Oh that's right.. he was busy winning the game for the waratahs .. We don't need players like that though.

terrible ruck plays and that has been the case for years. We Are a dull, pedestrian team and, as much of a nice guy as he is, the Reality is Griffin is out of his depth.
The criticism of Wallace is mainly by ignorant types who don't see the issue at 9 and the lack of line runners and decoy plays.
The Brisbane hierarchy are dinosaur like in their ignorance of the modern game. When will these fuckwits realize that grooming juniors for future success is a brain dead approach. surely by now they would see that these future players get picked up by other clubs.
The game is about now, not 3-5 years time.

Just feel filthy really.
That was a true bludger of the game, was there for the taking, yet the boys ran around like headless chooks. Too many dumb options and not enough leadership from our playmakers.
McCullough just continues to get worse really, giving away dumb penalties, bad missed tackles and taking dumb options from dummy half. I thought fans were harsh on him to start the season, but he's just gotten worse. For a player that has so much support from the club, it's disappointing to see him turn in such disappointing performances.
Still, the biggest disappointment belongs to Hodgo. He was absolutely out-played by his opposite and took way too many soft options with the game on the line. Nothing worse than when a senior player plays poorly because they should know better.
What else can I say about the match?
Hunt ended up OK. I thought some members overreacted in the live game thread, which I didn't like because it hurt whatever credibility a pro-Hunt argument may have but he came up with some good plays and kept himself in the game. Still a little raw, but I never expected Hunt to be an instant success in the halves.
Forwards played well I thought, I felt we won the territorial battle but the long distance game from Parra nullified our efforts. Loved how much Sammy fired up after the all in brawl. He ran with the fire and gusto I want to see from him all the time. Parker always put his hand up and Hala was a handful off the bench.
I reckon we can kiss McGuire goodbye for a few weeks too. He's letting his temper get the best of him out there at the moment, and it's sad because he's a player of true potential.
But yeah, I feel like kicking the cat, throwing the toys out the cot, spitting the dummy and declaring the sky is going to fall. Broncos lost, my weekend is ruined, cut my life into pieces this is my last resort.
If I lose to pwn, it's only going to get worse.

I'm honesty not even that upset.
Parra were always going to be up for this game after a string of losses and embarrassing efforts.
The game against the Tigers was an indication that this game was going to be a close one. We could only win by 10 when they were missing so many players, so how were we going to flog an almost full strength eels side?
Ningnangnong was right, the bye has come at a bad time and were not the same team that we were in R4-6.

He's got a 'crutch' tonight - "losing Prince in the first five minutes really hurt us.... But I feel for our guys, the effort was there, we just need to work on our execution..."

I know we should normally have beaten a side like the Eels but is the loss really that much of a shock?
The current Broncos side is not that good that games will be gimme's, especially when the opposition put in a spirited display. We almost got the same result against the Tigers.
As for this game being the reason we might miss the 8, could be a blessing in disguise. Making up the numbers and going out in the first week like last year can prevent any pressure or change in the club.
