They haven't been that poor since 2012

[Guest]

Lot of mini critics, but he played no different tonight than last year, took the bombs and brought the ball back as in 13.

I agree 100%, for me that was your typical Mini game. There were many worse than Mini, Maloney was terrible.

Anyway RC is right that was the poorest we have played under Robbo.

Not to worry it's round 1.

Aside from one or two dubious penalties, I think the penalty count reflected the game well.

JWH had some brain explosions. That one with his foot on Luke(yes Luke took a dive) was diabolical. I still think he is pretty fit for his weight, but I think he will get better as his weight will drop as the season goes on.

SKD brings a massive dilemma, there are no real contenders for his position, but to be honest nobody in our top 25 can do a worse job than this bloke.

Who was it, when that bouncing ball was kicked close to our line, and all our players missed it...who ran around the back and forced the ball behind the goalposts, saving the day, with 14 left in the first half?

SKD of course!

The absence of Luke "Brain" O'Donnell will be a major factor in why this team will not back up to the lofty heights of season 2013. The forward depth is quite poor outside of the starting two front-row forwards.

Aghree with the title of the thread If we dish that up next week we will lose again

[Arties Pie]

Dejapoo.

Are you comparing last years loss in rnd 1 to this Last year we made about 7 line breaks This year I will say 0 line breaks

The losses were chalk and cheese

HOPEFULLY THE END OF THE YEAR WONT BE

Agree but we are going to see the opposition expose mini by putting the ball along the ground alot more

Yeh agreed, back to his usual self.

Air swinging at grubber kicks, getting dragged back 5 metres from the field of play into the ingoal, getting smashed on every kick return & failing miserably when playing as the link man.

Geez it was positive to see RTS spend some time in attack at fullback. Or at least the roaming role he was given license to play. That and the slight variation we made to our favourite set play even if it didn't come off were the only positives to take out of the game for mine.

[Tommy Smith]

Lol back to his usual self. 1 ****ing game.

He's the Premiership winning fullback who was brilliant throughout the finals.

Then one bad game from the entire team and it's all over.

Thankfully our Premiership winning coach knows better than most in here.

[Rooster_6]

Well at least you're not as deluded as some Tommy, you can recognise the fact that it was a bad game. I'll give you that.

[Tommy Smith]

It was dreadful.

Mini was dreadful. Sadly, the rest were even more dreadful.

But ...

Unless he remains dreadful for a good month I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I rarely make predictions mate, especially this early in the season. We haven't even seen Watsamatta play as yet.

I do recall the same posts from last season.

I do recall pre game both years noticing Souffs looking very slick in the trials.

I do recall warning it's round 1 and quite possibly we will warm into the season while Souffs like to make early statements.

I do recall stating its a loooooooooooong season and round 1 means very little in October.

It's dejapoo all over again.

Humans are like that, especially fans.

So what do you think will happen next week???
