    It was an absolute fluke and if it didn't happen, we woulda had a pretty good chance of scoring.

    Here's why I'm not too hard on the boys. But for some absolute shytehouse luck, we got VERY close!

    We just don't seem to be able to win a trick right now. None of the 'luck' goes our way.

      It's actually a bit different to that...Dom didn't knock the ball into Latrell, latrell was behind Dom not in front of him . Latrell reached forward from behind Dom and knocked the ball forward...I'd say play on in this scenario...watch it again in slowmo..

        Ism they lost both their halves by halftime, lost their winger shortly after halftime and were down to 14 men for 35 mins. We were diabolical. Droppes balls, stupid penalties and poor defensive reads in the second half . First half defence was fantastic I’ll give them that.

        We were up 14/8 playing against 14 men and lost 20-14 - that’s appalling.

          That comes down to one man & position, Townsend & your Halfback. Everyone else have been doing there job pretty well besides ball handling, our forwards & backs have created enough opportunities for Lego man to setup some trys.

          i think he’s on 0 try assist? Am i right?

            Just a lazy player with loads of natural wasted ability.

            we got more out of him when he was with us. He’s treading water at souffs who are slowly drowning him.

              Every team in the League would take him if he was available.
              He's got attitude, presence & an aura about him that no other player has in the NRL, he is enigmatic & I understand why people dont like him but he is champion football player.
              Wasted ability wont get you picked every week for your club then for your state & then for your country.
              As you know I dont dislike Latrell.

                Add to that, majority of fans don’t want him to do well, so he is scrutinised even more, he beat us pretty much on his own the other night, with some added contributions from our own players.

                only a handful of players are genuine game changers, he is one of them.

                  Lazy at souffs because he is allowed to be. At state and national level, he’s not allowed to be.

                  As I said, wasted at souffs.

                    latrell is just total x factor , similar to turbo , if they are on they are on all you can do is limit the damage .

                    not sure there are many others like those 2, teddy, cleary, hass, even kp , closest equivalent is gi, yea they can be horrendous, but when they are on look out.

                    I always remeber that early to mid 90s pakistan cricket team , they could be horrid 1 game and destructive the next , no rhyme, no reason...

                      We weren't THAT bad, things just didn't go our way?

                      Right, so souffs lost both halfs and were left with only 1 on the bench and played probably their worse game in all 5 rounds and still win..No that's bad and we were bad and Shank Townsend shat his diapers badly for the third week in a row when we could have won all three games. And it's gonna get worse in the next two games.

                      Maybe the Tigpies weren't that bad for their last 3 spoons, things just didn't go their way....

                        I don’t think we were terrible but we played dumb footy in key moments of the game and found ways to lose it.

                        It’ll sting for a while. I’d love to see Townsend and Young given a spell to see what Savala or Elliott could do. I think Billy Smith deserves to back up his performance from last game but we can’t drop Mark or Toia.

                          Our D was awesome in the first half.

                          We would've blown them off the park if Sammy Walker played

                            Actually it would be great for the coach to ' once ' actually acknowledge the fans.
                            It’s been called a ‘rebuilding year’ so Robbo can get away with mediocrity.

                              Unfortunately, I think there was plenty of rhyme and reason for the results of that cricket team.
