Tell that to Marley

Watta you mean, I'm his biggest fan.

These cocksuckers are so pissed that Gus got arguably the best centre on the planet to a struggling dogs outfit for 800k, Burn on mother fuckers.

 

[w00t]

Tbh I rather like us being trashed as opposed to being hyped up by the media. Hopefully we prove everyone wrong this year

Last year all those feel good stories and talk of change only for us to fall flat on our faces was embarrassing

Why give this BS jibber air time?
Next

 

[SunnyCoastDOGG]

What a rubbish article, atleast our sponsors are getting their moneys worth with all this airtime we’ve had recently..

 

[liljohny]

Some nobody called Paul Suttor

Yet another dead shit article

 

[Bad Billy]

This has to be a Drunkfield article? Or at least one of his minions.
Crichton is the best centre in the game.
Taffe is a Fullback.
Tracey is also a fullback.
that is all.

We not only bought Critter for skills, but also attitude and work ethic. To show the boys what you have to do to win. A good buy I reckon

Motherfcuker that whole thing was just one BIG fcuking negative rhetorical question! Yuck!

 

[KLil]

I do wonder if the big-bodied halves pairing may help with our defence.

Hutchison was barking orders last week, that communication and onfield talk/leadership can’t be underestimated.

I watched the game again yesterday for kicks... I focused on defense.. Our defense was vicious, well calculated, well drilled and dominant.

Yes it wasn't exactly a first class NRL team but most teams would struggle against it.

Notably Salmon's defense was amazing, he lead the way and the team followed.

The Roar should NEVER be cited as news.

THANK YOU

We were literally losing at halftime to a reserve/flegg team + Pappy and 2-3 NRL shitters..

No doubt, but the truth is they bombed give or take 5 tries in the first half alone.

If they manage to defend like that every game and convert chances into points then I have no doubt we'll be floating around the good part of 10th place come season's end.

True, but we bombed a few and I believe Clark should of had a double, I believe with a closer look there was evidence that he grounded that ball.

Sure, but we aren't getting those same opportunities against better opposition. We should've blown them off the park in the first half and it's concerning we didn't. This Sharks game will tell us a lot more, better quality opposition and less squad rotation.

All will become apparent by round 5-6...
