All I'm seeing is more players going backwards under Maguire. When they finally sack him, Pascoe should follow

She showed enough incompetency last night for the NRL to really get on board with her. She is following the long and proud tradition of useless muppets doing a job that they are hopeless at. It's the NRL's bread n butter.
Well... he wasn't the reason we won.

Everyone was getting so worked about signing him up. There were reactions about why we left if so late when he has 2 years to go on his contract. There were comments stating to sign him on whatever he wants.
He is a good middle forward. He is potentially an origin player. Aloiai though ran a lot harder and had more impact.
Stef is still a young forward working on his game who struggled at times last year and may struggle again at times. He is going to be targeted as well.

There wasn't really too much that happened last night to be surprised about TBH.
Don't know why some people are so up in arms about what transpired.
What really stands out is that we have no players with footy smarts, we are an extremely dumb squad. Smart players win footy games, only had to look at Longneck's 40/20's to see that, completely flipped the game on it's head. When the game is up for grabs we can't even manage to get a bloke in at DH as we saw last year.
It's a real problem, especially in the halves, they need to be as quick between the ears as they are skillful.

No they didn't, they didn't have DCE, Foran and quite a few first grade forwards either

We severely overrate our forwards…barring Luciano and Stef I really don’t think our forwards would get much of a go at other clubs
Not liking to catch the ball?

this thread is good for a giggle, last year we lapped manly in the trial and we were going to win the comp, this year we lose and its i have a mother and sister, but women should be in the kitchen not refereeing, sack the coach, players are crap, sack them all.
some of you lot boo santa and the easter bunny.

Agree. And despite the scoreline, I actually think we were the better team in the 1st half.

Showed period of good defence and rolling up the middle
Thought I saw him in the stands last night.

I wouldn't go that far but it's not all doom and gloom.
Miles ahead of Dillon and Ogden based off what I saw so far... maybe they jump him in the coming years but right now Laurie is our best fullback and a great prospect himself
Good mates with Gildart

Honestly thought the first half was pretty solid. Peachy at 13 was doing what he's meant to and our defence was sliding soo much better than last year. I thought the effort was there for the most part, which is the best thing. 4-12 at the half, could have easily been 10-8.
Madden looked a lot more relaxed than in he did last year, he doesn't have the all the tools but he's got a lot of nous.
Second half shouldn't really mean too much for our season this year. None of the young forwards played, bar Rua who looked very comfortable.
Biggest plus is getting through unscathed
