That was our elimination final

[Kenya]

I might even skip next year, whats the point of wasting time and getting angry when you already know the outcome?

I can still remember our first match against Manly this year and how I thought we had finally turned a page. Even Graham got asked by sterlo about what did Des change and Graham smirked like they had some secret up their sleeve which made me excited only to be let down with the same shit as always.

Exactly mate. So frustrating.
And before we knew it we were in a rut.

The sad part is we do not change.
We just bang away at the same thing week after week.

I'm so frustrated I'm making up stories - honestly it seems even the players are bored.

We at times seem more confused by what comes next than our opponents.
The embarrassing sight of our confused 9 throwing the ball to some prop forward standing still. Oops me?
Throw it to Tolman on the 5th, 5 metres out from the opponents try line for a settler. FFS (not blaming him).

Cowboys read us - they knew exactly the order of our game.
Rush up on Graham.
Rush up on Klemmer.
Rush up on Jackson who will get it from Mbys.
Then rush up on Tolman.

Just check the urgency of the Cowboys defending their line vs us.
Our D in the ruck area tonight was embarrassing. No heart - no urgency. No pride.

We play this fractured stumbling one out style with absolutely no creativity.
Almost no support play.

The only thing we have is pigs hitting the middle compressing the D line then a floater over the top to a winger,
It works, its impressive - but we are a one trick pony.

Team feels controlled and heartless to me.
