Enough if the bull shot excuses. We were awful today. We should be able to field a team that can not leak 30 points a game. Injuries or not. If Casey is so bad, then pick a better option ffs. Every week it’s a different excuse with you guys. Our defence hadn’t been up to scratch all year and the score line that tested us today. Canberra were denied a 100 percent clear as day try snd we score off the next movement without actually crossing the line.

Call me troll and abuse me as much as you like. The simple reality is we are not good enough.
Cool story bro. You should be coach. You are a fkn genius. No one can support Flanno like you. Dopey ****

How on earth was Mariota not sin binned for a professional foul??? It was a penalty try for fucks sake! Waddell get sin binned for holding onto the ball when hethought it was still his ball, yet an early hit to the back of a player in a try scoring play, which results in a penalty try escapedls a sin bin???!!! The NRLol is a fucking joke. Wheres the consistency???
@gbrussell explains it further up. I think hes a retired referee (is that right?)

As I said before, players like Perham, Casey, Alamoti and RFM need a stint in reserve grade as they haven't showed anything at all since the start of the comp.

In saying that (now that I have smashed the TV and calmed down), I am still proud of the boys considering we played a full strength Raiders side and we have Kikau, JAC, Sutton, still out injured. Kiraz, Pele and King are still not 100% and we still only lost by 4pts.

Please tell us what exactly he did wrong? Or are you ignoring Alomoti and his atrocious defensive reads, failure to contest a ball that comes down right above him?
Alamoti was fkn terrible. Casey was so bad I felt sorry for him.

The discipline is too lax. There are still braindead lazy reactions to incidents that happen in play.

We let opposition run up to us or run out of the line then cant get them to ground. They seemed very wary of hip drops.
We need bigger middles and we have too many jinking sideways forwards runners who arent robust enough.


You can't play a competitve game with mistake riddled players or players who turn from rocks to diamonds with their effort plays.
There is no place for Oki. Replace with either Edwards or Hughes.
No place for Casey.
TPJ needs to come off the bench. He is too inconsistent.
King shouldnt have played by looks.
Perham is a tryer but not robust enough for first grade. Easily dominated at the back and out of position.
Fox cant get back quick enough to help Alamonti.
RFM's spot really should be under a cloud.
Waddle must be a middle. He is wasted at 2ndrow.

Thought Avo, Preston went well.
So much of this is spot on.

Rfm to me really is not demanding his role.

He has the “boys” role. Though on field? I’m yet to see a quality game.

As a staring player I want a lot more. Murray, carrigan, Jake t, radley, Harris etc I get he’s not in that league but he’s underwhelming at best.

Pangai I have backed. He’s only back a couple games and his first was his best. He’s not progressing at the moment.

I miss kikau. His offence was off but his defence was A+

Alomiti was terrible tonight. Him and Casey for sure the worst on field. That is a concern. Is alomiti struggling without Jac and someone as shit as Casey? Or worse is he regressing and showing Jac just made him look decent?

Perham has moments and does things well but he also needs To fucking run into the line. Look forward to critta .

One thing for sure. We need forwards. Thompson, Sutton, kikau out is hurting. Waddle can’t be an edge player. Rfm can’t be our 13.

Kikau when back has an edge but we need a 13.

Rfm can go to bench with waddle and Sutton and our pack looks alright.

Be as aggro with me as you like, Fam. It’s not going to stop us from being a crap, ill disciplined footy team that leaks 30 points a game.
BuT CirO
We are decimated by injuries, have ***** like Casey who belongs in Massey. Young Alamoti lets in three tries and we only lost by 4 to a full strength Canberra. You are the biggest fkn loser **** on here. You talk shit about oloapu, ciro and anything positive in our club. Fkn clown ****
u bag casey but not the silly prick that keeps picking him every week? Off to bed son, you've had enough.

Poor selections cost us badly Wilson and Edwards should have played.
Wilson should have played anyway instead of the Casey shit show.
You'd hope Ciro will wake up soon with some of these unreliable mistake riddled players he picks when others are available.

I really won’t bro. Saying Ciro needs to go is fkn ludicrous. Saying Flanno deserves to be in first grade is fkn crazy. You are fkn fried and whenever loose your trolling style gets fkn annoying. Pick your moments ****. It’s like you don’t want us to win, you just want to be right. Fkn clown ****
Calm down.

Ciro is making unnecessary changes, screwing up our players’ heads, sending mixed messages and making our injury situation even worse. And our defence has been soft as this year.

Karl struggled today and if he continues to play first grade it’s only going to set his career back. He needs more time.

I don’t enjoy watching us lose, but at the same time I’ve become desensitised to it. I’d rather watch us lose if it will result in us making changes and becoming better. Once again we have gotten our coaching appointment completely wrong. I think of Crichton coming next year while we are still short a half, a fullback and some big boppers and I shudder.

Enough of the sunshine and flowers crap. We are going about this rebuild all wrong and it’s depressing to watch.

That’s my opinion. Don’t like it? Deal with it.
