That was deadset embarrassing.

Hutch is replacing Manu at centre which makes him the biggest downgrade ever.

Geez this has been a pathetic effort.

[fletch]

Look at Hutch again in defence. Absolute spastic.

He is truly awful.

[TK1990]

All the talent in the world, and no structure whatsoever. Without fail, if we are in the opposition twenty on last tackle, we run it every single time, we never kick!!!
Scrambling around on the last tackle and we’ve given away 35m before Melbourne even get the ball, and then a penalty.
Melbourne kick on last and score! Running on last will not work against teams that have half decent defence! Probably why we 4 wins and 20 losses over Melbourne, souths and Penrith in the last few years.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Hutch is a joke...get him off. Game over already

[player 1]

I didn't have an issue with this one. Thought it was fair.

If there was a call we should've got it was keary being blocked on that grubber from Brandon Smith early on. Jarome Hughes just took him out in a try scoring situation.... definite penalty, possible sin bin. Klein just completely unaware of what was going on, as usual.

Nope. If he was completely unaware the calls would even out.

He is an out and out cheat.

[Tommy Smith]

That's just so frustratingly stupid from Radley. 12 points scored whilst he was off, I love the way he plays and if he cops a sin bin and suspension here and there for getting a tackle wrong I think we can all accept it but he's just lazy there and put simply not a good team mate to have at the moment.

Games not over but you can probably count the sides who have overturned a two try deficit in Melbourne over the last decade and a half on one hand.

Nah he's a top 10 player in the game apparently and much better than Cam Murray.

[weplayforprems]

Harry grant is a gun. A try here and we are gone

[Easts75]

Hutchison escorted the touchie

[milanja]

Gee Harry is good, our number 9 isn’t fit enough to even be out there.

[The Lip]

How do people on this site that watch a lot of footy come out week in week out singing Hutchos praises? Fair dink I am missing the biggest joke of the century?

he is deadset pedestrian - someone please tell him if you back pedal 5 out from the line the opposition will most definitely run over you, step you or cut you out!

[elo]

We have badly failed our first true road test, just an awful performance.

[DP1990]

Get hutch off now !!!


F*ck off ... Seriously !!!

[yeception]

Rip

[Sentimentinel]

Manu what a trysaver, get hutch off we will have 50 put on us
