Press Conference

[Raikkonen]

Did anyone else see the presser? Looked like Des spent the game in a ditch.

 

[blueyedsamurai]

He looked pissed which is a positive at least, usually he'd act like nothing happened.

Spot on

 

[_G-Dog_]

The team played terrible.. however im convinced Reynolds & Mbye as a pairing cant take us to the promised land

 

[Mr Invisible]

The tie loosened up... means you know that:
a) he's pissed off.
b) he's been animated in the dressing rooms.
c) there's some poor maintenance man in Townsville being called to put a door back on it's hinges.

If he talked about ball control i swear I'm going to punch him in the fucking dick. Why the fuck did a team coming off a bye look like they played a game a few days ago? Fuck sake ****

haha, punch him in the dick...

Well get ready to go all cock knocker on him as Im pretty sure thats what he said.

By the sounds of it we may have actually played a game a few days ago too

 

[pisssst]

All James was saying was, I don't know, I don't know why we lost. You fu3king serious.

Heard a rumour they played Northern Pride sometime during the bye/holiday. Anyone know if this is true ?

Its like the gaffa says you know. lol

i know why you lost. bad wing/edge defense. poor handling errors due to fatigue because thurston kicked you guys to death. and you all think you're all bloody andrew johns ball players. respect the ball... if you guys wanna go to the edges, hit em up through the middle.

Its amazing.. when we get on the backfoot, we dont know how to dig ourselves out. In fact we dig ourselves deeper, I feel. Seems like we always give away penalties, or drop the ball handing over possession. thus making us do more defending, thus making us fatigued, thus more handling errors. Its a savage cycle.

Another thing I've noticed is the poor footy IQ from our forwards. If they had any sense, they would know its all about building pressure. Its not about cut out balls and scoring off every single play (Eastwood in particular is guilty of this).

 

[Moedogg]

Just like his pathetic gameplan where he uses a cheap alternative instead of buying a real fullback/Halfback he tried to hang himself in the coaches box the minute Perret dropped the ball using his tie instead of buying a real rope.

 

[The DoggFather]

Fraud.

Seriously? We looked that sluggish though aye.

Great analysis

Coz he's a shit leader and no one listens to him
How about a simple instruction from the captain on the field to hold the fcuking ball and just complete the next few sets to get back into the game rather than the side to side shit and trying to score on the second tackle

 

[finchie]

They gave up last night and threw the baby out with the bath water early. They threw in the white towel without putting up any sort of fight.
Disgraceful attitude and characteristics of a team looking to finish in the top 4

It doesnt matter what they say at press conferences.. most of the time what Des says in public is different from what he says behind closed doors

 

[Chris Harding]

Des' appearance reflected how well we played.

 

[rainman]

When perret dropped that ball, it reminded me of Martin Bella in that Grand final dropping it off the kick off
