  • What a directionless rabble

    I was hopeful after the first 25 minutes. Now it's just more of the same old garbage. It's disappointing that Smith is injured again, but he was a passenger out there - couldn't even move in to help stop Tupou getting pushed over the sideline and misses a simply tackle to let them score. Yet another HIA for one of our blokes, and yet again getting caned in the 6 agains by the ref. Kicking game sucks, never deep enough in attack to bomb the line and maybe get a repeat set. Early penalty to us, then bloody nothing even though the Dragons are standing a mile offside on the rare occasion the Roosters are on possession and deep in attack.

    No-one big enough to smash and seriously hurt Hunt.

    Tedesco once again caught in a spin cycle, Walker rushing out of the line, Momirovski will never be a match winner and the Butcher brothers rarely do anything exceptional.

    I think 2022 is over...even if we win this game!

      Sorry. You were saying? A half is a long time in footy and we were only down by 2.

            Perhaps..but they are our directionless rabble and we love them anyway......any team that can double the opposition's points can't be that bad..

            My streaming site crashed at 12-nil and by the time I found my little radio and put that on and did a re-start it was 12-10..then the stream cut out again when Momo scored....too much excitement today..hope Thirteen and Horrie Hastings and everyone else who went up gets home safely and thanks for representing us up there.

              I'll happily eat my words - humble pie and egg-face is on tonight's menu. It was a fantastic 2nd half effort, but once again we've been cruelled by injuries which I fear will effectively kill off our season. Management needs to sign up Suaalii and Walker and Manu for life.

                  The initial post and follow up must surely be in the running for one of the best backflips of all time on here.

                      Doesn't bother me. At least Carlos had the good grace to post his second message so soon after.

                        It wasn't a backflip at all.

                        I said "I think 2022 is over...even if we win this game!" and sadly I have to stick to this viewpoint. I really do think injuries will kill our season and I still believe that there are some passengers in the team. I hope I am wrong.

                          Post of the year!

                          And sadly, I agree, the end is near. I'll be there to the death though, riding with the reaper all the way!
