Inexperience?????

But Pearces stats this season suggest otherwise mate. He ranks up there behind JT and Cronk in most of the important ones for playmakers.

Why don't you petition the powers that be (that keep themselves in splendour and security) to change your name to Pearcelover73.

It's better than the name you go by on Usenet, BoyToucher47.

[Chook Norris]

You need two halves in a team - a 7 AND a 6! We have only had one.

well here's hoping next season will prove that.

but if nothing changes.... will the excuses then be because Maloney is not good enough?

Next year will be better the young guns have stepped up.The best thing that nick ever did was to employ pos.Geez he has brought some young talent to easts.Its a shame that smith didnt give the kids a run a few weeks ago if he had we very well might have made the cut.

I think smithy did the right thing in hindsight delaying the debuts of shek, moges and tupou...they got the taste...now with a good off season let em rip next year...

Brian Smith did alright this year. I believe that we will do better next year.

IF SOMEONE FORCES MINI TO RETIRE!

You blokes are so close yet so far away to what is really going on its not funny.
So what if Mini retires and Anasta leaves. It will make no difference.
A premiership could be won with this playing squad.

Jumping on bandwagons is so easy when you don't really know. Getting off them when the truth is presented is hard when you can't see the big picture.

It will make plenty of difference because they won't be here.

The fact that we often lead and then go on to lose also indicates that our boys aren't as fit as other teams.

Regardless of who is the head coach, the training staff need to look at their methods, or management need to look at the training staff and how much money the club invests in this area.

We had this problem in 2009 and staff were shed because of this, yet the same problem is now rearing it's ugly head again. 2009 would have been a fabulous year for us if it were a 40 minute game. At the time, I thought it was the organic diet some of the players were on. They were eating like sparrows and then fading like flowers in the second half of an awful lot of games, including Fitzy's last game against Nth Qld.

Might explain the hallway escapades to some degree?

During the coverage of last weeks game it was said by one of the commentators of our last 11 loses this season we have led in 9 of those games and one of the others we we 6-6 with Penwiff.

Also we are the only team to dip below the 70% completions this season.

Valid???

Lack of heart, we have shown what wre can do but cant do every week. Smith has to go & let JT rule the roost

Oh, please do NOT remind me. After that day, I never listened to breakfast radio again.

You answered your own question

Personally I think it was down to lack of a genuine game breaker in the team We were in games but couldnt finsih them off This should change next year
