      We only imploded in the last ten minutes. I suspect the players just lost hope after the Titans hit the front. For the larger part, the forwards stood up and rolled through the opposition and we started making some breaks.

      I stand by my original post. That loss was on the halves. They failed to take control and steer us to victory. They were extremely inept in the red zones. Same thing happened in the Warriors match.

      Can they learn from these last few games? Time will tell because we don’t have many other plausible options right now.
      We made enough breaks to win two games.

          Would you care to explain which one of these statements you actually believe? It's one or the other, not both.

            That’s some super sleuthing right there Waylander - so much so I think it should be Wallander not Waylander

              I disagree. We collectively imploded. Yes Sandon threw an intercept which was undoubtedly a dumb play. But realistically, we shouldn’t have been in that position, we should’ve took the two points to nudge the margin out to 8 and backed our defence. That’s 100% on the captain. I love Teddy but he is not leader/captain material. That was the turning point IMO, then as a whole we self destructed in the most pathetic way.
              This Teddy isn't a leader claim is abolsute bulldust unless you have played under him, or unless you somehow are privy to what he says pre-game, at half time or full time or behind the goal line. If he's not a leader whjy has he led his club, his state and his country? Also the margin was never getting nudged to 8, it was 12-8 at the time so was only nudging to 6.

                Geez your drawing a long bow there mate.

                Don't you just love it when someone plays the research intern and employs the dreaded cut n paste to try and make their point. Not personally against you Waylander, just not a fan of the play generally.

                  Ash Taylor - became a 1 Million a season player at the Titans and the poor fellow couldn't handle the pressure that came with it - retired at 27

                  Million Dollars players or close to it are a risk especially when the onus is on them to deliver a premiership at least if not more - They are often signed on future potential too which doesn't always come to fruition as we have seen

                  Signing players for 10 years at 1 mill plus a season is a huge gamble. - Dylan Brown 1.3 mill for 10 years - what pressure will he be under to deliver - Most NRL halves will want similar coin - 1 Mill at least-

                    And that’s why there’ll only be the injury changes to the team this week.

                      The Dylan Brown contract is one of the strangest recruitment calls I've seen in our game...he's not even that good.

                        Because he’s not playing for a contract, that was last season.I always knew his efforts wouldn’t be the same this season. Bit like Fergo only great on contract years.

                          Angus has been having a dig. He's not exactly going to get the ball one out and run through the defensive line. He's just not getting any decent ball. Who is that on?

                            He has been a massive disappointment since we originally signed he has maybe 20 good games for the club and they always come in a small run of form at the end of a season and then he goes back to being useless.
