Nah, far better to try and win.

You are absolutely right. At this stage, Laulilii is the far better NRL winger and should not have been dropped. Other than prowess under the high ball, he is miles ahead of Tavana too.

I don't think so but it's the best team I could come up with.

This is damn hard with so many out of form or plain awful options but gave it a crack! 1. Bula 2. Tavana (not really first grade standard but ..) 3. Turuva ( generally defended well in position) 4. Herbert (another weak defender but .. ) 5. Laulilii 6. Luai (someone kick him up the ...) 7. Latu...

So you're saying that Makasini is proven Sirro? General consensus is he was abominable yesterday and a lot of people believe he's simply not ready yet. I'm one of those people.

Nice idea except that he could never tackle and that was our main problem yesterday.

One thing I do agree with, regarding the latter comments, is that Benji has made lots of head scratching team selections recently. In yesterday's game, Geyer on an edge Makasini in the centres and, before that, picking Tavana ahead of Laulilii, refusing to select Skelton, starting Seyfarth...

Yes, that's what disappoints me the most. Just no guts. What happened to all that preseason /early season resilience and positive response to adversity? It's gone out the window to be replaced by a weak mental attitude and meek submission. Pathetic and I feel let down and angry about it.

Always has and often costly.

This thread is irrelevant. I didn't watch the second half and, even if I did, what is the point in judging 321 in such a pathetic and embarrassing performance.

I tuned out at 36 nil and just checked the final score. I was hoping, even expecting the Tigers to fight back a bit in the second half. Boy, was I ever wrong! I put a comment in this thread at half time, saying that the size of the score line could not be excused and that I was embarrassed to be...

I haven't read any of the previous comments. I'm sure none of them are positive and neither should they be. I turned off at 36 nil. In the space of one week, we have returned back to the bad old days of complete ineptness. There's no way, even with the various outs, that we should be...

Which stat? Within 20 or high completion rate? Ha, it's what I hope for, not necessarily what I expect!

All I ask is that they fight hard. This means that they employ a fast defensive line, high completion rate and a smart kicking game. Hopefully they can frustrate a Penrith side who could be a little flat after the battle against the Warriors. I'll be happy if they get within 20.

Oh dear, this could get ugly....again....
