I don't think the end score was a true reflection of the game, I thought we were quite good in the first half, but unfortunately we just Can't seem to play for the full 80 yet, and the Sharks try from a supposed drop goal was pure luck and shouldn't have been given imo.

Talakai didn’t even fucking kick it..
They got every call tonight..every call
Never seen a ruling in a game regarding the try being disallowed due to a ref infringement..absolute bullshit
How many 6 agains did we get?
I have a pic of Talakai’s ‘kick’..but can’t get it to upload here for some reason..clearly shows he didn’t touch ball before it hit the ground.
Unless he has size 17 boots on..his boot ain’t long enough to be touching that ball that is already touching the ground
That was a BS try at a critical time too… hopefully we get some calls like that as the year goes on

Look at Cronulla's last two tries - perfect examples of not dying with the ball, and backup knowing exactly what is going on.
How frustrating is it watching a team that always dies with the ball and not support and take risks.
Negative footy .
I fear for Ciraldos job

Now that’s a decent post.
I said after the trials Sexton should be 7.
He’s got more attack in him than Hutch who proved tonight he’s too slow to get through a gap. These are the realities Alzz, not ‘corruption’. Stay real :-).
I think Hutch is there for his defence.

Hope Burton is watching Dylan Brown play. Guy putting blokes through on both sides of the field.
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 pissed off with the non-service I'm getting.

Can we please spread the ball just a little, there's no point in having a so-called "Ferrari" backline when all we do for 4-5 plays is just hit-ups all the time, is boring as shit!!!!!

I could only imagine sticky’s reaction if that happened to raiders, I’d happily chip in to his fine.

That was a massive step forwards, scoreline doesn't reflect how far we've come

We'll upset a few teams

Playing away from home against a massive pack, boys can hold their heads up
the boys shouldn't be dishing out high fives in the sheds after that one but it was a definite improvement on last year where we would've had 50 put on us.

We don't have props, given that we were really good

Props also create chances close to the line by forcing 3 defenders to take them

Proud of the team. As soon as we get some parity in reffing we will compete. Fck the NRL. Great effort, the bias shit we cop is inexcusable. Fkn so ika
Absolute delusion. Team has no points in them. In the early rounds we will be ground down and look 'brave'. After round 8ish we will be getting 30 to 40 put on us every. Poor coach, average players, bad administration.

Need to fuck ciraldo off, why is every other player that was once a bulldog, killing it
We have a culture problem and until that’s sorted we will continue with the losers mentality

#sackciraldo
It’s not a culture problem…it’s a lack of a quality half back and dominate forwards who strike fear in the opposition

I witnessed daylight robbery today ..by the rorted refs and people are still hating on Burton. Burton’s not a five eighth. Burton to centre. Burton out.. fmd wake up. He’s the least of our fucking problems. He was actually threatening unlike our 7 and 1.

Even if we had a better 6, 7, 1 and an alpha prop it wouldn’t matter when we get jokes of decisions against us. Kikau is over the damned tryline and the ref gets in the way and we have it taken away. Who’s seen that ever before?!

How about a penalty to sharts for escort, none for us in a similar situation. Sharts get a penalty for Critta putting a hand on a player in the air, same thing happens to Taaffe. No penalty. Kiks is penalised for a high shot. Nowhere near high contact.

YES we need to be better but for the love of God any team that has to play 14 men is on a hiding to nothing. These corrupt ***** will get their way because how are you supposed to support your team when this shit happens all the time? Clear cut decisions that one team got and the other didn’t. Oh and you know Sharts didn’t knock on in that try that got them on a roll… noooo.

Seriously, we went to Shart park for their first home game and were in the fight up until 55 minutes and after losing a prop in the first hitup! We did remarkably well considering that and all the calls going against us.

Still, we can be much better (players and coach) and not let refs decide the result. Taaffe and Hutch have to go. They’re just too weak and don’t offer much. Critta needs to go to fullback and get involved more and Tracey can play centre. He was very good. Never looked out of puff like most others and got through a heap of work. Xerri has to come in sooner or later because we simply don’t have enough powerful players. I like Wilson but don’t think he’s good enough.

My back 7 would be Critta, JAC, Tracey, Xerri, Kiraz, Burton, Sexton.

How many runs did he have....fuck all!!
Kiraz misses tackles cause he gets involved in everything. Critta hardly put on a sweat. Like someone mentioned earlier, Critta is out there like he's an assistant coach.
We’re all pissed bro, but watch the game back, Kiraz is not the best defender at the best of times…he plays with heart and effort, and that’s why he’s in the team and we love him for that - He knows his role in the team, Critta does things that doesn’t show up in stats, I thought he played well, but there’s only so much a centre can do.

Onto next week
