He's fast becoming a huge grub in the nrl. He should've been on report for that dog shot. Two eye gouges last year..

We should have taken the penalty goal when Starling was binned, reset our attack, discussed line speed and moved forward with the kick off. Taken a few minutes to get ready to start again. Instead we did nuffy attack and couldn’t score against 12 players!

C'mon we got outclassed. Nothing more nothing less and that is just purely because of our current roster.
There were two teams out there. One is very settled with their roster with depth and class where the other has fringe players that would struggle to make top eight sides and who are revamping their squad with alot of uncertainty with individual players. Not to mention a fill in coach.
Did you honestly expect anything different? We put up a great fight most weeks and honestly we don't deserve being last if effort and guts determined where a teams sits on the ladder because teams like the Broncos show nothing like the effort our guys put in week in week out.

For the last three years the defence has been passive - whether it was a lack of fitness, technique, strength - other clubs are able to dominate with and without the ball. It has an accumulative effect. Ogden Toomaga Katoashowed against Canberra why they have had little time in fg - they dont defend consistently enough - Jackson has been woeful last night Hopoate was basically a passenger.

The first half showed why we should not deserve the spoon.........the second showed why we do........
Shouldn't really knit pick on this. End of the day we are a team of losers who have no clue how to win a game. Bit of pressure and the boys crumble.
I am extremely disappointed in Josh Jackson. I thought he was still a good solid player but the drop off this year has been massive. He is looking more like a front rower.

Agree. Turning point was when we were given a penalty, and a Raiders player binned. Instead of taking the 2 points and extending our lead, we opt to go for a try, then die with the ball on the 5th. No kick into the in goal to test their defence, or trap them in goal; just a dud run and get tackled. Then we give them possession to get downfield and score. After that, they had a whiff of a win, and we went back into our shell.

Actually, I noticed Tolman passing more than normal during the game.

Yep we should have backed up the first half effort with even more effort in the second - that's the only way to win games.
The turning point is we just don't have the cattle.
On skill and size alone we were outclassed in every position with the exception of Ogden v Lui and RFM v Whitehead.
Meaney, Montoya, Holland, DWZ, Lewis is just about the worst backline in modern nrl history. It's exactly why we are on the bottom of the table

Holbrook ! , do you rate him ?
He is one of the best League coaches out there at present and if he gets his way after the next 5 weeks, he will taking the player you don’t rate, Thompson to the Gold Coast too.

Good, he can take him. Then maybe we can go out and buy a player we actually need.
More importantly it’s the strength and conditioning coaches that’s required ! Not more players to blame.
The worry though, one of the new coaches coming in is from the Titans, can’t see Holbrook letting him go if he was any good...

It's Dan Ferris and his results have been terrible in the NRL. I don't have much hope under this current administration.
I understand and I share your frustrations
