Everyone has bought into the defensive structures, the senior guys we have recruited have had a positive influence and young guns like Hughes are proving their worth, great signs ahead, its onwards and upwards from here.

Any idea what time?

I agree, well said!

These people just need to be medicated. Schizophrenics can have fulltime jobs and functioning lives. There should be mental health care workers checking in with these people as well. It sounds like he was living on the street for some time..

Makes sense, yeah I agree he likely expected that end result. However, he could have also been experiencing a psychotic episode and hallucinating. Unmedicated paranoid schizophrenics can experience this quite regularly. Either way the cop made the right call..

Anyone know the protocols around police utilising a gun over a taser?

1 man with some balls, if only he had some help!

Hard to believe that a group of people couldnt over power him or grab a metal object, chair, table or anything to pin him down or knock him out, very sad to hear that the vunerable appear to have been left behind while everyone ran away.

He set the bar very low last year. The team has recruited heavily so improvement was expected. Good to see us competing in more games. It appears he has definitely sorted out our defensive issues and has our left side attack humming. How could it not be though, look at the names on that edge.

He runs the ball alot (maybe too much), but I think that goes a long way to straightening our attack and creating space on either side.

Agree, looks a little lost and unsure about how he can make an impact in this squad. Could be the captaincy.

I feel like Hutchinson's problem is that when we play hi-tempo in attack he is a little slow, but he is good at steadying the ship at the right times more often than not.

I think we will be there abouts, but might just fall short. Plenty of teams have improved this year unfortunantely

1. KIRAZ - Unbelievable work rate, rivalled Manu's the other night 2. FOX - Shows week in week out how to finish off a linebreak, something lacking by afew others tonight. 1. CURRAN - Our best forward tonight

Yeah 100% we have some halves talent seeping through, lets wait and see who steps up.

You could pull apart alot of calls in that game, on the balance it probably went 60/40 against us, but that could just be my team bias.

Didn't think we had that in us, we have definitely turned a corner defensively. Our attack is still developing, but even there we have shown some real improvement.

Seriously? Hard to believe after that defensive effort that is your main take...

We outplayed them all game, but we had some really bad end of set plays in that final 10 minutes that cost us. Goal kicking also let us down.

Train wreck

Where were our leaders in that 2nd half? Crighton has been super average for us all year. A superhuman 1st half by Kikau got us this win. He has been outstanding and backed up his Titans and Souths performance again tonight.

Wow what a terrible effort in this 2nd half. Absolutely unforgiveable. We better hold on and win this otherwise this will be a confidence shattering defeat

I don't understand why anyone gets up in arms about political leaders receiving donations to their campaign. Both parties do it. They are each trying to push their agenda and bending all possible man made rules whilst doing it.

This could be the week the wheels begin to fall off

The Tigers have made massive leaps forward this year. Taking down two top 8 sides in itself shows that they are no longer a bottom 4 team. They were hammered by the refs today and still overcame the Eels. We have made some progress defensively, but the Tigers have shown that they are a year...

After our only convincing win in Ciraldo's entire head coaching career, i'd say there would be no changes.

3. KIKAU 2. KIRAZ 1. HUTCH (gets no love here for some reason, bloke busts his ass in attack)

We have ample attacking options but don't make use of them. Burton has no vision, you can see that in his kick selection and his inability to engage the line and then make the right pass at speed. Hutchinson shows glimpses of arranging attacking plays but its max once or twice a game. He comes...

Hoping Hasler fails miserably at the Gold Coast. If we are going to string a win together in the first 10 rounds, it will be on Saturday.

We will keep playing the same squad because Ciraldo only has a plan A, and that is to keep telling himself Salmon is Isiah Yeo and Hutchinson is Nathan Cleary.

He would do no worse than Burton in creating space out wide

2 wins Titans / Rabbits Tigers

That is so sad, my kid is 2, I'm hoping in the next few years we regain some pride in the jersey, so we can enjoy watching games. I don't think we are far off, but three things need to change: 1. Get a real 1st grade coach, Maguire should be our target after NSW regains Origin. 2. Elevate...

Doesn't sound like Burton is getting pushed out to centre anytime soon unfortuantely, it will be Ciraldo's undoing. 1. We are stacked with centres, no room for Crighton, Kiraz, Xerri and Burton all playing there. 2. Ciraldo complimented Burton's game today LOL. If I'm Crighton, I'm pretty...

How can the coaching staff not see this... And I agree, bottom 3 without question at this rate, the wheels are yet to fall off but when they do, we will start averaging 30+ points a game conceeded.

Yep! Someone name one time Burton put someone through a hole outside of 2nd phase play, I'll wait...

Haha mate 100% 100% agree, but you aren't allowed to say this until around Round 10 apparently...

I agree, they are a very well drilled team. And yes, our forwards could not match them for the full 80, so we need to add some starch, but we know that. Our backs had to do a ridiculous amount of work to compensate, which sapped them as well. But we need to be more clinical in attack when we...

The Sharks had a player sin binned, and that's the only time we scored. Our attack is simply poor, the ref has no part in that fact. Despite multiple dubious calls we still had 5 penalties a piece. Ciraldo also didn't even use all of his interchanges so fatigue is not an excuse.

3. Mahoney (2nd week in a row top performer) 2. Kikau (stellar game in attack and defence) 1. Kiraz (massive work rate in attack, and got peppered all game in defence but held up for the most part)

The game was at Shark park, they are going to get the rub of the green. We have to be better.

100% agree, we made plenty of run metres and had good possession and field position, just couldn't create enough overlaps. That is on our halves but also the person enabling our halves.

We used the sapped energy excuse last week. We had ample ball in the first half to put more points on. Should have been well ahead by the 60th minute mark.

That's the problem though, we need the stars to align to come anywhere close to winning a match.

We should have scored at least 3-4 tries but we couldn't make the most of our possession. Ciraldo needs to get our attack going quick smart.

We got grinded to a pulp and leaked points in the final 20 minutes. That is totally on us regardless of how bad the ref was.

All the weapons in our backline, ample possession, ample field position and one try to show for it, c'mon boys lift

Gifted them the restart?

Keen to see us punch back here, we have had ample ball today, need to mske better use of it

Fuck Burton has been sleep walking at key moments in this game

Holes starting to appear in our middle

Great steal my Mann

Right edge been sus all game

Our right edge d looks suspect

Hutch showing some class, good to see. Wilson great finish

Ref is drunk or cooked

Good first 10 minutes, lets hope they can keep this intensity up

Walsh with them Dally M vibes

Walsh is having a cracker, but Broncos aren't the team they were last year

Not with Ciraldo at the helm. Another 17 players and we will still be struggling to make the 8.

I've lost respect for Mam, soft as shit. Next time Leniu will serve physical punishment instead.

Our problem starts with C and ends and iraldo

We've had 3 years of Gould to find one though.

They'd be silly to let him go. Top tier prop in his prime, hard to find. For an overpaid centre hmm

The problem is we can't sign anyone for this year, and our juniors are still developing. What we can fix now though is the coaching. Players needs to be improving not regressing. I think we should be lining up Michael Maguire for 2025. If we are 1 win for 10 games in a couple of months, punt...

To me what was most concerning is that Parra's attack wasn't exactly humming, yet they still put 26 on us. I feel like as the season goes on, and if we keep losing, big scores against us will come.

I agree, I feel like the media pressure is warranted at this point

He looked solid in a couple of games for the Roosters, until he had a punch up with Crighton and then fell out of favour with Robinson

DOGS OF POOR Poor old Canterbury fielded $3 million worth of new recruits against Parramatta – but where are the Bulldogs’ middles? Club general manager Phil Gould has lured some big names to the club for 2024 but nearly all are backs or utilities. Where is the grunt? Even after just 80...

Ah, my mate works at newscorp and i have his login, i wouldn't pay either haha. DOGS OF POOR Poor old Canterbury fielded $3 million worth of new recruits against Parramatta – but where are the Bulldogs’ middles? Club general manager Phil Gould has lured some big names to the club for 2024 but...

To be honest, they aren't wrong. Poasa should not be seeing first grade, let along a starting spot. Morrin has heart but is not a first grader. Hughes has the goods but is really at least a year away. Mann and Salmon should be not seeing the amount of time we are relying on them for...

Issues are obvious. Our halves are not halves. And the one half we do have (Sexton) is not an NRL level half. Burton and Hutchinson are both centres. Our team is unbalanced, we have a plethora or centres and no halves or middle forwards other than King, and he is just a worker. Our coach is...

Just like a horror movie

What an ill-discplined rabble of a team

It doesn't matter who we sign with Ciraldo at the helm they will turn into plodders

We have not been in this game AT ALL, absolutely dominated in every aspect

Ciraldo will be gone by round 10

We are barely 20 minutes in

Our attack moves in slow mo

Taafe has terrible hands for a fullback

Refs can't even save us

We are so off the pace its not funny

Getting dominated already

Agree, if Burton is in the 6 jumper come round 1, Ciraldo will die on his sword by round 10

This is the team, any team with Burton at 6 is doomed to fail

100% agree, writing is on the wall for him

I cannot keep watching Burton play in the 6

Fuck our halves are shit

Taafe shocking

Nope, they planned to play him 20 minutes only.

Agree, although the Sharks are missing their star halfback that commands every facet of their attack, so wouldn't give our defence too much credit, their try was super soft.

He has been worse than Hutch in attack. Yes he had two good kicks, but 0 line breaks and 0 linebreak assists vs Hutch's 1 line break

We had 5 years of possession and an extra man and have scored one try created by a forward.

Curran and Presto creating for themselves

We are way out of sync

We are so ill discplined

Burton just can't time that pass

Hutch rocks and diamonds tonight

Bottom 4 once again

Sounds more like Ciraldo signing his old penrith pals because he has no control of the dressing room without them backing him.
