Cheer up...

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Atleast we have the best for & against so far , just saying

How dare you....we want stuff to complain about.

ISM food positive thread but I don’t agree about Angus being incompetent the other night. He was very good off the bench. I think he’s earned a start in Round 5.

Oh agreed... I thought he did great.

Its the same Sookpen members who make the most noise about sacking Robbo......yes the same Sookpen members who wanted him gone for supporting Manlys inclusion jersey a couple of seasons ago.....the same Sookpen members who wanted Robbo booted when he said we shouldnt boo Latrell. Probably just a co-incidence so i wont mention any names!

I mean, the booing Latrell was creating a rod for his own back though wasn't it? I'd say 95% of people would agree. I wouldn't use that as an example.

Kelby it’s been our problem for years. We are a powerhouse club with plenty of great players. I think some of them think we just need to turn up, put on the jersey and we’ll win. Complacency has been our achilles' heel for years. I think it’s the coaches job to sort this out. We have seen that any team can beat any team in this competition if you don’t show up with the right attitude. Manly are a good example this weekend.

and parra today. Go the tigers!

Crickey. How many thousands of posts have been written complaining about our dirty mongrels getting suspended too often? Now apparently we need more of em???

No.

I'm not talking about the biff or suspensions.

I'm talking about mentally tough players that play for the whole game and are happy to do the dirty work. Players that turn up every week and play for the team.

Leinu and Collins are those type of players.
Also players like Jerome Hughes, Welch, Carrigan, Su'a', Leo Thompson, Frizell, Capewell, etc


Anyway based on the form guide this year WLWL we will beat the dogs Friday.

We have a strong front row rotation but the back row is still trying to figure itself out apart from radley
in the backs the back 5 are okay however halves still trying to work it out

Jeeze you’ve done a LOT of reading for a new poster who only joined a few weeks ago!

Not really. It’s possible to infer a lot from a very minor sample of posts. Particularly yours.

We played terrible in the first half and still the deciding factor between the teams was a joke decision from the bunker which not only robbed us of the 4 points potentially 6 to tie the game in the end but it robbed us of the momentum as the try was scored at a crucial time and never mind that they received an identical that we were denied which is another point swing against us. There's a lot of handling and discipline the team needs to get right but I am not as down about the game as the year Penrith beat us by 40 both times I give us a chance next time we play as long as we are full strength or at least not missing crucial players like Lindsay Collins

Agreed.

- IMO it's easy to downplay the fact we were without Collins and Leniu (and yet still finished stronger than Penrith!!!) Re-watch the last few Origins as a NSW fan if you think Collins' inclusion makes a minimal impact. If he was available against the Riff and played like he does for QLD then we wouldn't have just had him tearing up... JWH and May woulda had less of a load to shoulder. Collins is a beast!!!!

- No mongrel? Rads, Collins, May, Cheese, Leniu and Whyte have got a whole heap of mongrel and we've got a formidable forward pack. Just the other week, Brisbane accused us of bullying when they didn't get the result they were expecting. With more DISCIPLINE (as the season goes on), we'll only get better.

- The gap was narrow and included a wrongly denied Joey Manu try. Not saying we won the battle but IMO these are the best signs we've seen for some time.

Gus played26 mins for 7 runs totalling 65m and made 7 tackles. Those stats don’t suggest a start imho

[The Brain]

Didnt bother me just saw it as a 3 games in 12 days buggered them out.

It’s not all about stats.

Seems Robbo agrees with me. Angus named to start this week.

Not sure how you infer 1000’s of posts from only a few but glad I’ve got my message across to you soo easily!

I’m going to kick Baxter off a bridge!
