I'm going off early tonight, we are the worst team to watch in the NRL..our attack is useless, we have no urgency in our play, no creativity, our passing and kicking game is average... We don't even have a decent goal kicker. Why is it that 1 in every 3 or so games we turn up?? It's gotten to the point that I prefer watching other NRL games. Tonight's game was downright ugly.. When will Dessie's negative style of play (5 forward hit ups, all flat passes, no depth, thoughtless kick and no chase) be exposed. Or perhaps it's our forwards who resemble an off/on switch? Maybe they will turn up next week... Disappointed.

The have been disrupting us when we were in the 20 all night and it paid off. They barely got penalized and threw us off.

The only positive to take from this is we are still in the top 8. Knowing this team we will bottle a top 4 spot again and finish 5-8th

Our forward pack is grossly overrated. They only really look good when the other side lies down like souths did last week

We've had the same issue for years, and that's the halves.

None of them can direct a team around the park, they go missing on the last. Mbye is a pacey bull runner and Reynolds is a heart and energy player.

If our forwards aren't ball playing, which they can't always be expected to do, then we'll hardly win any games. Just look at the possession we had today on their line and didn't even look like scoring. It took a miracle pass by Rona to get anything on the board. Then Mbye steps up for the kick - does he even practice his kicking?

Am I watching the roosters play in our jerseys? What happened to our players?

"Having looked at every camera angle that showed no evidence to over turn the ruling... we'll be over ruling it."

As if players aren't smart enough to take the tackle instead of score
