Referee asshead hadn't ruled the pass to Rads in the first half forward, he was away.

[BenCumminsIsACheat]

The worst player I have ever seen. No exaggeration. Can’t catch, tackle or run. Absolute horse manure

[Andrew Walker]

Hahaha… love ya work son!

im old and only getting older. The way boys and girls, men and women did things in the good ol days was and still is sooo much better. Because of the internet and only the internet do we tolerate this shyt these days.

Full stop!

Yes the internet has a lot to answer for in that respect and even the education system which normalises or encourages certain things that young kids dont at that age need to know about. The stuff my Daugther would come home and talk about almost blew my mind, lucky for me I am open minded. My Daughter has two friends whom identify as non binary. One I can understand you only have to look at them ( her ) to see why. They say never judge a book by its cover, but the 1st time they ( she ) came to my place I didnt now whether it was a boy or a girl. I was freaking out not wanting to say the wrong thing The funniest part was they realised it and when they left told me that they identified as non binary ( if I know what that is ) I told them I did smiled and said that is nice as long as you are happy and you are welcome in our home anytime. I had to tell my Daughter next time to warn me if she had any other friends such as that Not hat I care but I just didnt want to say the wrong thing

Now the other who is a good kid and is always welcome in my home as well, is a product of where society has gone askew and I have said as much not to her obviously Im sorry she is all girl and is only doing this as she has had ideas put in her head and she wants to upset or get attention from the parents. It is amusing though as they are woke academics who consider themself intellectually superior to most ( wheich they are not ) They are not happy with it. They dont know I know. That is the thing with being open minded the kids trust me and talk to me tell me things they might not tell others, they know I dont care or wont judge. Although living in a house where wokeism is alive far more in others than me. I dont consider myself woke just accepting. I find I am the one who has to pull things back into some sort of order and decorum in the household, because at some stage I think things have gone well and truly beyond where they should have gone

That collegiate swimmer with the penis who shags women but identifies as a woman Lia Thomas is a prime example of a world and society that has completely lost the plot

I get it mate. I understand and sympathise with those who end up feeling like they are something different to what they are ‘meant’ to be however that does mean society should normalise it.

Society will be accepting of things when it wants or needs to be. It shouldn’t be forced onto people and then have those people labelled if they don’t accept it. Isn’t forcing people to accept this movement the exact same thing as the movement trying to be accepted! Let them do what they want. Just don’t expect others to accept it and respect their right not to.

Its same with gays. I don’t agree with it but two of my best friends are homos and that’s their choice. They are cool and take the piss out of themselves all the time as well. They don’t get offended by others views and don’t expect the world to change for them. They aren’t victims. Totally cool guys and I love them to death. *no homo*

not only take the piss
I bet they put shyte on each other too

The players let’s Robbo down, terrible performance.

[Rooster_6]

Just to back up my point on this argument around split halves because I'm seeing it being mentioned more and more and people just seem to be accepting it as fact I've gone through and just pulled whatever pictures I can from our last 3 games highlight packs. Admittedly not a whole lot of content there especially not many showing our structure and set ups close to the line because a lot of our points have been scored off the back of breaks or from dummy half (Manu) recently, we've actually been quite poor close to the line.

From what I have seen early this season, Walker & Keary are playing more as a traditional first receiver/second receiver combination but both are floating from edge to edge, they are not locked into a side. Now there will be moments where both position themselves on either side of the ruck and don't play a traditional pairing but instead as as 1st or second receivers with the likes of Radley or Tedesco stepping in to play first or second receiver and that's important so that the defence can't always just load up on the side Walker & Keary continually position themselves on and those sides will more often than not be the sides that they defend on so that when we reset in transition our defensive structure isn't out of whack but that shouldn't be mistaken as them playing split halves of playing as a left and right combo.


1. Sam Walker try Vs Brisbane Broncos, Keary at first receiver and Walker at 2nd receiver on right edge.

2. Sam Walker try Vs Warriors, both players on left edge in each others pocket to run short side play.

3. Sam Walker disallowed try Vs Dragons, Keary at first receiver and Walker at 2nd receiver on right edge.

4. Joesph Manu try Vs Dragons, Keary first receiver on left side & Walker first receiver on right side.

You highlight a few instances of them playing together but for fair periods of games they are playing on different sides and when Tedesco joins in when they are playing together you have three players all trying to do the same thing - there is no this is your role or role definition.

[ism22]

Hahah sorry this the bloke that has won 3 grand finals?

Yep, what a disgrace. Has he ever missed the finals as coach?

Oh no, a coach lost a game. I get that we're not the standard of the Riff/Drizz right now but IMO we're on the right track. The Merge defended well (probably won't defend that well again all season) and our attack was too clunky to put an otherwise tired, defeated team to bed.

Losses always s*ck, but they're part of watching the footy. The Drizz and Riff are looking for members if anybody wants to temporarily boost their chances of success.

[<ME>]

That’s a performance that starts and ends in the coaches box. A bunch of stars so unsettled, clueless and lacking intensity reflects on what ever this ‘plan’ is that’s meant click at ‘some stage’ this year. If not for Manu and Walker moments we are deadset on only 2 wins this year.

[Flipper Hands]

personally though I blame Teddy for our poor cohesion on the field. He is our captain, he is drastically out of form, and his constantly below average performances are setting the standard for rest of the team on game day

You do know he ran for 312m's right?

[Bansai Pipeline]

I'm not a fan of Tedesco as captain. Seems lost out there when it comes to making decisions. He's not a natural talker either.

But what would I know. What would any of us know.

[zac]

i am a fan of teddy as captain. there's a leadership group there so it's not just him and he's pretty good at talking with the refs and will get even better.

[Kentucky_Fried_Rooster]

And there it is, without fail its the referees fault we lost again.

[The Lip]

I thought you were going to say - we hadn't signed Momo

[Thirteen]

I love this place after a loss. It really cheers me up.

[ChookMaster]

How about manu’s blatant knock on 5M in front of our line and play continued..

Both shocking calls but my point is - can’t blame the refs for a lacklustre performance. We had our chances more than enough.

You didn’t hear Robbo complaining today.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Win lose or draw what we need every week is "An OFFICIAL Post Game Venting Thread." One thread where we can call for players to be dropped, bag the bias refs and complain about how the game has been going backwards for decades

[BenCumminsIsACheat]

The penalty which proved to be the 2 point difference in the end was a disgrace.
That’s the problem with the game nowadays. Refs see someone laying on the ground and just call a penalty even though they weren’t even watching. Happens with high tackles, crushers, decoys. V’landys and Abdo are to blame. Those two clowns are a joke

[ccfc bondi]

Calling a fair pass forward is in my opinion one of the greatest sins a referee can ever commit!

YES!!
Thirteen, surely u take the duties

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

We are playing below our expected high standards and its killing me.
But watching the Riff yesterday and now the drizzle tonight, as a lover of the game, I have to admire just how cynical these two teams are/have been.
I wish we could get our errors out of our game. Caz that's the biggest difference between us and them atm. We dominated the dragons in defence in that 2nd half, and showed glimpses of what riff were doing yesterday.
We are capable, just gotta stop being our own worst enemy

[rented tracksuit]

Nah. He’s got his niche already. Ism has been trying to get in on the match day threads racket for a while now. Let him take this one.

The Riff and Storm are incredible.

The Storm in particular are the greatest Australian sporting organisation this century.

Look at their team. A star spine but...

Meaney
Reimis Smith
Coates
Josh King
Loiero
Moeroa
Chris Lewis

And yet here they are putting on 70pts.

We have a bad game every second week the past few seasons. They have a couple of bad games every year and have barely lost a game they should win in 15 farking years.

Bellamy is the greatest club coach of all time.
