Yes, that's a massive problem for them. Definitely not Galvin he was awful as a halfback.

Galvin was back to his tigers form today. He looked threatening at times, made some errors at others and kicked poorly throughout. I was at the game so not sure how it looked on the telly, but it's interesting how all of the attack and movement went through him with Burton and sexton virtually...

I thought Hynes was excellent tonight. He plays fast and gets players into good spots around him. He's not an especially threatening runner but his creativity and kicking game are really good and means he's a tricky player to oppose. He's not amongst the very best halves but not having paid much...

Wow, Penrith actually being called regularly for offside!! When did the refs decide to enforce that against them? Bulldogs, Penrith, Melbourne all are excellent at pushing the boundaries (and going beyond) of that offside line.

Bulldogs defense was excellent, Melbourne look really erratic. It looks great sometimes, but Grant and Munster are such adlib players and it seems to stifle their attack at times. I think sexton, Galvin, Burton all in the side was better for them. Galvin probably the least threatening of all of...

Bulldogs showing why they're top 4. Really good defensive contact earning turnovers and intimidating opposition forcing a grind. Galvin has been ordinary but looks much more threatening at 5/8, sexton has a more varied game and plays much faster than Galvin. Melbourne have been very poor...

NAS hasn't been a wrecking ball this year, he's been terrible and barely gets a run. What are you all watching? Highlights from 4 years ago? He's the exact opposite of what we need: He's ill disciplined, he doesn't seem to have much of a motor these days, he's not a particularly effective...

KPP is average as other have said. Seems particularly lacking in what we urgently need physicality and aggression. Frizell looks much better than him on a well beaten side.

1. Does the Canberra result mean they can't win the comp (50+ in a game)? 2. Eels showing what a team making progress under a rookie coach looks like.

He's a very talented player. Great front foot player, but we'd be better off with a less skilled and dynamic hard worker. Until he gets somewhere near Taylan for toughness and aggression he's a liability in a team that needs players doing gritty work without momentum. I could see him go to...

Perfect reflection of our season that one. So much promise that you almost start to believe but then just horrible weak mentality and massive disappointment. There's a lot of quality footballers in our team now but we are collectively fragile. They need the best psychologists and physical...

Reynolds, mam , Hughes, Munster, Moses, Fogerty, C Walker, s walker, Metcalf, Dearden Cleary, katoa are all better. Is Campbell better? Probably, although I haven't watched him defensively. I don't think there's much between him and Hynes. That said, he'd be starting half at most clubs. Hynes...

The bunker allowed us to score a try!!!

Yeah, wouldn't want to get him angry!

I find it incredible how little impact seyfarth has as a 'hot head'. Surely we should get a hard run or a strong tackle to go with all the ill discipline and sin binnings? His consistent low impact mildly spoken below average play doesn't match his apparent inability to control his temper.

Just about every tackle Melbourne go for the extra push in the tackle. Not dominant in the tackle, just a flagrant extra push. It's really poor defense and they're lucky not to be penalised a lot more. Melbourne teams of the past earnt it more in the tackle with stronger tackling and more...

For all luai's adlib plays he rarely seems to make errors. I think that doesn't get much of a mention. Passing is always excellent and he usually sets up players around him well. Long kicking is accurate and short kicking is ridiculously good (why doesn't he do it more?). The only issue for luai...

Why not?

Gee titans team is good on paper. Their forward pack in particular is stacked. I think it's only their spine that is a little weak, but still pretty good. They shouldn't be last.

Yeah, I get the hope from everyone but as much progress as we've had, we're still a long way from good. It's just not good enough playing competitive losses and it's a long way to convert that to winning. So many say, 'if only we'd won a few of those narrow games', but we're losing them because...
