Yeh but from what I could see it wasnt the rookies making the crucial errors, it was the senior blokes
I'm still angry about that performance

The forwards were outstanding in the first half. I think playing an aggressive high tempo game, combined with the use of the bench really took its toll. We played with 15 men for 60 minutes.
For me Farah and Marshall really let us down. Things didn't stick around the ruck and we looked quite one dimensional in attack.
I think there are some positives to take towards next year. We're taking a huge gamble on Brooks being a success.

I think what you have to look @ is how many of our Players would walk into another Team.

Bingo is right! I couldn't even be bothered coming on here and commenting last night after watching us lose such an important (for all the reasons Happy mentioned above) and winnable game and seeing our season just fly out the back door - there was nothing left to say really 😢

Also the SCG Dragons game and last weeks pathetic 1st half against the Sharks. Don't even mention the gutless display versus the Knights.
We lose so many games that we really should win. Good teams beat inferior opposition, those extra 3 or 4 wins are enough to get you into the finals.
From last night's game, we have a second rate team.
Farah could have been tired, but he lacked consistency in general, that's what distinquish him from Cameron Smith and some other hookers. Maybe he is not tough enough for the NRL but merely playing above himself.
Benji and Blake let themselves down as usual, I have to agree they have to make way for the young ones coming on. Benji is too slow for the NRL, too fat and is in the comfort zone. He should probably try breaking into the media asap. He has a good name there, don't try blaming everyone else for his downfall. Everyone understands that we can never be on the top forever.
Woodsey is good, but I won't rank him in the top 10 prop in the NRL.The way he played so far, he is even behind Fafita. He should try to lift himself up another level. I know he is capable of that, if he really try. He is not making the yardage of a really good prop. Have a look at how Hargraves play, take something out of that.
Tesdeco is improving but still a long way from being a good full back. If only he can make more yardage, otherwise he played above himself at this stage of his career. Kevin Locke shows that he is a much better player than him. I like him because he keeps on trying and if he continues to learn and play well, he is a player of the future. We may need a good fullback now to win games.
Lawrence tries hard as usual. He needs to be better still. The wingers were good. The rest have played an average game.
Potter needs to make the hard decisions now and get ready for next year. The year is gone, so no use perserving with the has been. For the rest of the year, the players will have to play for pride.

That was me too. I wanted to be angry about the performance, but I've seen the same performances for most of the year, so I was more indifferent than anything. Which in hindsight sad, I go made for the footy. Only Tim Simona got my heart rate up last night.
And whilst I am partially sad that Benji is going, man alive I will not miss the number of passes he puts on the ground. They always talk about the champions playing what's in front of them. Benji seems to have forgotten about this, he winds up and executes regardless of what he sees - push passes to Tedesco, dribbles behind his centres, slice kicks out on the full.
Not that anyone else managed much better last night, but I hoped for so much more and should have known better - 2013 isn't one of those years.
But hats off to Liam Fulton, that guy is my 2013 hero, absolutely everywhere in defence, even cutting down Manu around the legs a bunch of times. What a champ.

They beat a full strength Storm team today. Maybe we shouldn't be that angry
