Looks like they've drawn a line through Iverson Matai

It can only be game defining if the team has enough quality to capitalise on strokes of good luck. Good teams punish every inch given to them, and have the resilience to turn things around in spite of poor calls from the referee. The decision not to sin bin Sezar could well have been "game...

We never want a situation like in other sports where it is acceptable to shout and swear in referees faces. The way soccer players carry on towards the ref is an embarassment. This stuff filters down to local footy too. If young kids (even some adults) see that kind of behaviour, more often...

Its a fair point, I think where we might disagree is that imo at this stage based on form in inferior competitions, all mentioned bar maybe matamua and s fainu would be significant downgrades on Twal and Seyfarth. Im not happy about it, but i think thats the reality. I just dont think...

Yep, I think they are just names on paper to a lot of people. I'm convinced they haven't actually seem them kick a ball this year. Reality is all those guys have individually struggled at different points in the lower grades this year. Kit Laulilii has looked out of his depth on several...

His wife is actually playing for the swifts in the netball today. Looks like they are pretty settled in Sydney

I think this has the added benefit of both Latu and TDS getting some proper game time together in reserve grade.

Yep they dont have the cattle, but theres things wrong beyond a lack of talent imo. The decision making, lack of composure and total inability to build pressure are things that are so ingrained at this club

Understand what you are saying mate but to me defence is mainly effort. Our defence has improved 10 fold compared to the end of last year, but it terms of points conceded we are almost exactly where we were at this point last season. If we dont win some games expect our defence to get worse...

The ref was bad. There are bigger issues for us if we want to win more than a couple games a season though.

Blaming the ref is easy. We were so bad in that 2nd half. The attack is dreadful, discline is worse. Maybe I dont get it but I dont see where our points are coming from on their line. We were out muscled and out worked. Things are grim

Dont know how we win more than 1-2 more games this year to be honest.

I know he has better cattle around him, but the way Sexton drops back and totally dominates is what Sullivan should be doing. Thing is Sullivan has dominated this level before. He looks worse than when he started

Thought Caseys effort when his opposing centre scorer was awful

That kick chase defence from Laulilii and kepoa. These are meant to be the next guys up. Dreadful. Sullivan looks to be at his level too

TDS just about the only real positive. You can see it with Miller and Faagatu. Objectively though, Bulldogs seem to be well ahead of us as a club. Hurts me because I cant stand Gus.

I think their light forward pack to an extent might work in their favour when it comes to defence. Lots of media reporting around Ciraldo's defensive coaching has been a focus on repeat individual efforts. Probably cant do that carrying too many big fellas. Works against them though too as...

All deserve scrutiny, it comes with the territory, but it has to be reasonable and in context. Things would have to go drastically bad for Benji to be under any job pressure before 2026. As most have pointed out we are improving in some areas and are at worst stagnant in others.

The clown journalists are so transparent with their axe grinding I don't know how they can take themselves seriously, let alone anyone else.

I agree, I only meant Stef could be a Haas lite because I think he has strengths similar to Haas (but to a lesser degree) like his capacity to be a damaging ball carrier and to play long minutes. Haas is a superior player in every sense though, as you say he is probably the perfect prop. The...
