[Cook]

but do they really need another winger? Tbh they need des, or some hard arse coach that isn’t scared of latrell or Cody. Those two are brilliant players but if the press is to be believed (big if, btw), they are a bad influence on the locker room

Maybe not when Graham is back. Milne and Kennar pretty shit though. Johnson not looking as good. Yet that Munroe kid is out injured too, he looks quality. Yeah seems a split is in the playing group hey. I heard Ilias killed it in NSW cup, got man of match.

good point. Milne and Kennar are fucking rubbish. Agreed with rest. Hopefully illias doesn’t come back with some confidence in his step

There’s no way he’s naming him this week. Coach has backed himself into a corner, has to play Hawkins for a couple weeks at least. These have been the traditional games where we play a side into form. I don’t see that happening anymore, not with our defence. Be a massive win if we could pull it off. Bookies aren’t giving us a chance, judging by odds

 

[Chris Harding]

Just checked the stats and a few stand out.

- 9 to 3 penalty count against us (we did get 3 restarts though)

- Errors were similar. They made 12. We made 10.

- 8 line breaks to 1.

We really should have won by 50

For sure. There were four other occasions when we crossed their line.

Wishful thinking, but we could have potentially run up a score of 60 points if all tries were awarded and converted.

For some reason the mood seems to be sympathy for a top eight team that has lost three in a row - not for a cellar dweller that had one win after a long string of losses, and is finally coming good.

The goodies and baddies MO that the main stream media live off.

I don’t get the Hutchinson slander for this game. Sharks game he was shite, Eels game don’t really care only round 1 but the disallowed try he set up was very good imo plus his hands for preston’s try also. He ran the ball when he needed to and often had his hands free for an offload. Taaffe or Mahoney need to look to support that more often cause i recon every time he ran the ball he broke through with hands free. #HutchoHive

 

[Mr Beast]

I think kiks is having a big impact on him to.

100% that too.

If Nathan Cleary or DCE had caught & passed in one motion like Hutchinson did for Preston’s try, Andrew Johns would have been frothing at the mouth.

Yep agreed mate.

We won’t really know how to judge that game until after this Friday. Gold Coast were awful. They have serious problems.

It’s strange to see a club with a decent roster go so bad with a new coach.

 

[Howie B]

Foran was a good yard offside. Nothing said, be interesting had Brimson gone over if be pulled back.

 

[Doggysee]

Only concerns are

Taffe is a reserve grader, Tracey should go FB

Sam hughes was underwhelming, looks nothing more than a run of the mill forward which is disappointing given his size

Obviously there are other areas of improvement we need but I'm only pointing out in respect to what players we currently have

You are dreaming. Have a look at most of the games Sam Hughes has played before the weekends one. Whenever he is on the points for the other teams completely dry up. Dogs bleed points when he comes off. Nobody has a better tackle efficiency than him.

 

[PeteHazz]

Souffs got another hiding on show, good to watch for a change. Can’t believe they had Dom Young all but signed, then coaching staff pulled the pin. Big mistake, he’s a freak

Totally agree @Cook

With the wingers they've got, young walks into that team. More importantly, burgess delivered him.

There's a serious cabal there and no one is calling it out but burgess. morris just left, assuming he didn't want to taint his reputation locally by speaking out about club matters. burgess has warrington humming (wish we had the money Vaughan was looking for, his form has been strong)

I really hope the volume of press is living rent free in their heads. They're down on confidence and if murray really is injured, that will also play on their minds. He's been by far their best player this year. We need to start super strong, steamroll them and then frustrate/smother them with our defense. If we do that, in the headspace their two biggest stars are in, mistakes and niggle will (hopefully) cost them.

I just want our boys fired up for this. It's time we won Good Friday!

That stood straight out for me when i watched the match replay i changed my opinion a bit after that 1 piece of class from him gave Preston all the room.

Hughes did his job well i was taken back a bit by Capt Jacksons comment to i was more concerned by the way Knight was struggling .

 

[D- voice]

We rightly deserve to enjoy the win...
Let's hope we will back it up by another win against Soufffs,
We need to continue the momentum !!!

So you guys know what "underwhelming" means? I didn't say he had a bad game, I'm saying I expected more from him. His hitups usually bend the line, he didn't at all vs titans. Clearly CC is using him as an impact big body for the final 20 to 30 minutes, hence I'd expect his hitups to cause a little bit more damage, with a quick PTB to get us onto the front foot. Rounds 1 and 2 he was ok with this, vs titans I was underwhelmed.

I was only talking about the Titans game

 

[alwaysthesun]

As horrible as the Titans were, if we're serious, that's the type of team who we should beat 9/10. We have had mixes results against them in recent seasons so it's nice that our boys put on a display to suggest that it is us who are moving forward, particularly because for some reason Titans were predicted by many to make the 8.

It's wonderful. Hope they can maintain their shitness. Karma is a bitch Desmond
