Ladies and Gents.

Season after season, time after time, our team plays a game or five against teams that we should wipe from the map.

Today, we saw it again.

So, my solution to stop future seasons duplicating the same is simply this.... Don't bother. The future will always repeat.

One thing is assured. Our No: 6 and 7 will not be in the NSW team. Good, or bad. At present, neither should be in ours. Simple.

Tony Williams. Right now, I am full of a virus that has made me very ill. Tony is as hot and cold as I am. I am 56 years old and I will take Tony's spot next week. I am damn sure that I could have crossed for at least one try today.

We were INEPT. If anyone comes up with a better word, good luck to you. I have never minded losing, but not like this today. Inept is the only word I can find.

Two myths were exploded today.

1. Depth. Got smashed to a second rate footy team.
2. Dogs of War.... nuff said.

Nothing same old about our lineup this week though. On paper i also thought we looked ok, but when u rip 5 players from the side one week to the next, including arguably our best 3 forwards, and captain, and our best offensive weapon (Bmoz), its bound to have an impact.

Depth doesnt mean that if 5 players are out all at once, 5 new players would come in and hit the ground running with a new lineup.
It would take the side a few weeks to gel with such a different lineup. St George on the other hand are on a golden run with form, and i was impressed with their defence. Whether they can do that for 26 rounds remains to be seen, but they are going ok now.

Trex played well and is in no way responsible for that effort. Our halves were abysmal.

I could not agree more.

T REX was best on ground ... Go and watch the game again yes the score was disappointing and the over all performance was poor but T REX couldn't have done anymore then he did. He held his own out there.

I honestly believe our full strength squad would have beaten them. Problem is our full strength squad should flog them. Even today's team should have beaten them and had enough ball to win but our halves are incompetent

I said in another thread he is like the big kid in the under 8's that gets given the ball to do something out of nothing

Our halves were the issue it starts and stops with them. Hope Tim Browne pulls up well, it's not a bad thing that he won't remember any of the 50 minutes of football that he took part in today though LOL

Any other set of halves would blow their load about playing behind this pack except that we have the worst pair in the nrl and first division incl. I can't believe how Mbye got taken off and Trent was left on. I'd be shaking my head silly if I was Moses and I'd be on the first bus ticket out of the joint if those two are selected ahead of me. The forward were good imo, however our backs are shit!

our backs dont recieve quality ball from our halves so they look poor

TRex has looked poor on occassions because our halves do not know how to draw a player and put him into a hole, though this changed when Mbye came in.

Whens the last time you have seen Hodko put our winger away like Benji did today with matautatatata

TRex was far from our worst. None of our other back rowers scored tries either.

Forwards get u into good field position which they did today and the backs especially halves should take over from there. T Browne, kaufusi, Eastwood, jj and Pritchard all got us down the other end but then the backs dropped the ball both literally and figuratively !!!

our attack was painful to watch. so terrible.

the dragons barely got into our half but every time they did they would score.

we were camped in their half the whole ****ing game and had 6 points.

Morris and Chase were terrible in defence.

Williams had the 2nd most metres gained from a dogs forward, 1 try assist, 1 linebreak assist, 3 offloads. Why anyone would bag him after tonights game is ****ing ridiculous.

Williams was exceptional today. Especially with the poor ball hr received. If I didnt follow dogs I could have sworn he was our halfback coz on last tackle Hodkinson passed it to Trex to do something.
Any other half would have ran with the ball and put a flying trex into a hole instead of the poor balls he got where he was flat footed.
Reynolds has a lot of heart snd I love him for that but he has poor vision and doesn't have a footy brain.
And a coach who still thinks its 2012...

That is an annual event at most.
