Could think of at least 15 players in that team who don’t belong there.

He is right about the first 5mins of the game. Somehow they turned to complete shit after the dudbuy offload in our own 30m.

My theory is it killed team morale, Tevita dudbuy (TDJ) went away from the game plan of complete high and power game through the middle. He showed his team mates he didn't want to roll up the sleeves and they all followed the 'alpha props' example.
or we can’t defend sets on our own line. So any mistake like those done by tpj just starts an avalanche of bullshit.

Disagree.
Stuart has been at the Raiders for a very long time and gets away with plenty from his club and the media.

Ciraldo only been here for a year. He knows the players we have aren't up to it... What purpose does it serve going off like Stuart publicly... Just allows the media to lay the boot in and belittles players publicly who probably struggle to get a contract elsewhere anyways.
Because his state of origin second rower Kikau, SOO prop Pangirl and international prop Thompson got shredded up the middle. If our 2 million dollar men aren’t up to it……… it’s a lack of effort not skill there

Wouldn't mind seeing a bit of ricky stuart action from CC. Something like, "Revolted by that performance. No training this week. Nothing but burpees and they can practice the difficult stuff; catching footballs and making tackles"

Yeah same but I don't think CC has enough runs on the board yet for a blow up

In saying that, Sticky's blowup is extremely contradictory. He complained the team didnt show up to play.. ermmm isn't that your job ya idiot

Game changed on the back of the tries missed by Wilson more than the poor offload by TPJ. But end of the day all teams make mistakes, good teams defend them. The defensive efforts of Thommo and Burton was disgraceful and not up to first grade standard

No chance. You can tell CC is heavily media trained and has churned thru a bunch of useless new age short courses on leadership and culture. You’ll never get anything but clichés and woke “make sure we upset no one” bullshit out of his mouth. Hes totally manufactured

Thompson’s defence overall is terrible. For a middle forward where for the most part player’s are running straight.

Thompson’s technique is not close to being NRL level. Whether it’s his first game this year or his 21st game there is no excuse for a middle forward to miss 8 tackles in less than a half of football. I wonder if they count the misses on the first two try’s. Being that he didn’t lay a finger on them. Does that count as a miss.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Thommo.

What about this coach's brutal honesty?
