Here we go.

You do realise we were on the end of a 13 to 4 penalty / set restart count.

Warranted we did some dumb things, but we win that game if we flip that count around.

At one stage in the 2nd half, he gave them 3 x 12 sets against us.

It's not just this game. Go see our other games. We're always dominated through the middle

Thompson and Hetherington are killing us, offer absolutely no punch in attack while being totally ineffective in defence. Opposition continually rolls through us when they're on and then in possession they can't even carry us out of our 40. We had one set during that 10 minute spell after halftime yet Ogden and Ava still managed to carry us out of our half.
Which game did u watch,they were by far our best forwards,they played with aggression,I lost count of the number of 6 agains,and for me y is Meaney still playing first grade,3 errors today 3 tries conceded,positionaly he was dreadful,we lost that game today,because we dint respect possession,

Stop. Blaming. The. Refs.

Offer some better analysis please. Blaming the refs every single week is such a cop out.

Bro Thompson is a back rower playing out of position and Hetherington is a park footballer at best LOL!

I just ask Barrett please for the love of God change something in this department, try something different what have you got to lose?? We're dead last and every week we struggle to get out of our own half.

69m from Hetherington and 106m from Thompson. Ava made better metres than Hetheringtons in much shorter time on the field.

Vaughan is the best available at the moment, his last game was 232m, other games between 150 and 200.

100% agree with this take! Thompson does not dominate anything in attach or defence. He is on way way too much money as well. We need to offload him ASAP.

Hetherington is an interchange forward, not a starting prop.

Thompson is starting to strike me as an awful waste of 800k. We've clearly paid overs.
800k was always overs. But he's still a good prop. Just not good enough for that type of money. He's wasting his athleticism and agility by trying to play too physical and seek out contact when he doesn't get great post contact metres. He needs to use his footwork more and run wider of the ruck. Hopefully someone addresses this with him in the offseason.

Hetherington needs a really clear and simple role because he is extremely thick. Literally just needs to do one job all game and do it well.
