**live game feed ** vs the Sharks

[tony soprano]

When you don't hold the ruck and control the speed of the game this is what happens. We have some fine young players, we need a few more but Maguire is not the coach to take the team forward.

There are that many weaknesses and deficiencies in this team but the fact we haven't addressed them and watched it transpire (and worsen) all year is distressing to see as a fan.

Maguire is just coming of as a passionate fan with no idea how to actually get the team going places. I’m off him now.

I actually don't mind how he supports or cheers for the boys. But yeah like you, overall, feel he's not asking (the team) the right questions and is therefore unable to have them consistently up for the challenge.
We all have a fair understanding of what the strengths of our players are - and definitely what they lack - however there doesn't appear to be a tailored game plan around this, and this bothers me as much as not correcting our defensive problems.
His unwillingness to change or improve certain areas like this but then not build on what's working for us.
It's been painful having to watch the team often look powerless and unsure of themselves.

Don't think he's the only one struggling though, as it looks like almost every person within the organisation are unable to take control of a situation. Still no finals footy for the most patient rugby league fans ever absolutely sucks.

What's he unwilling to change and improve on?

I blame @happy_tiger for this disgusting effort today

Brooks didn't listen ...I literally had him walk within 3 metres of him and I told him to run the ball at HT

Did you leave early ?

No ......you couldn't leave until every player had finished post match interviews as it was gated off

But we have a bit to talk about fans

At least 4 players broke Covid protocols and hi fived fans as they were walking past

Jo O was the WT's culprit ......

Yeah but they’re all Queenslanders atm ?

No mask nothing .....the bloke beside me got photos and even commented on it

I'll be surprised if Douehi plays next game ...he was hobbling badly as he came into the dressing rooms

Did you get a refund ?

For free tickets lol

Subsidised by Centrelink ?

Peace offering lol

Did you give Nofoalooza a serve like you said you were going to do?

Is nofoalooze related to nofobuthoole

Twins separated at birth

 

[Adrock]

I hope that doesn’t hurt our chances against Penrith too badly

LOL … ‘chances’

 

[Demps]

I can not understand how they can play so pathetic. How hard is it to play with some intensity!!!!! How can you not fire up once a week for 80mins.

Edit the profanity before too late..

My take we ran out of steam because of the heat in the last 10 minutes of the 1st half and it didn't improve in the 2nd half

Not too many deserved a paycheck bar Stefano ....Kelma to a lesser extent ...maybe Douehi

Amone went ok when he got on

Just on that. Not sure if its been mentioned but who decided wearing our black jerseys in the heat of Rockhampton was a good idea.

I reckon we need to go George Constanza and get the boys playing in cotton uniforms. That will give us the edge we need. Just make sure they don’t shrink though. No drying machines guys

Did you give Nofoalooza a serve like you said you were going to do?

Yeah after the 1st try .......here he is pointing at the inside defenders and tackling fresh air again

Some of those tries were some of the softest tries I have seen ...Maumalo smashes a bloke 30 metres out from the line ....completely stops his momentum and he thens runs inside for 30 metres untouched ...what the bloody hell .....

Nofoalooza has gotta go .. he’s tanking ..
he was signed by inspector gadget and Pascoe fiasco ..
no way Madge would’ve extended the douche until 2025

Maguire couldn't catch a cold in terms of landing a big recruitment fish! No way he would get rid of Nofoaluma.

He shouldn’t be starting and largely playing 80 mins.
I don’t think he has the motor for that and it shows in defense where he gets tired and struggles at times to get in position and makes tired decisions and efforts in the tackle.
For me, ideally, he would be used from the bench so that he can play less minutes and come on and utilise his attacking prowess to create opportunities and break the game open.

It got really hot the last 20 minutes before kick off ...was lining up waiting to grab a few Canadians before kick off and was sweating

 

[barnzee]

Ophenague, Utoikamanu, and Twall came to play, the rest??

Mbye has been our best, Simpkin also very good, and Joe has had some good moments

Simpkin was holding his own for the 27 minutes he was out there…

disagree actually he put alot of people under pressure running then passing instead of passing off the ground.

For what its worth i have huge raps on him but he hasnt been good

I think you will find he is trying to get them going foward

 

[Russell]

Only positive is that I backed Matulino to score a double in a multi.

Unfortunately I also had Doueihi to score & he looks like he had a double dose of Mogadon for breakfast

That would have been some trick if Matulino had scored.

I didn't think that they were letting backpackers into the country at the moment

Even Brandy just said Brooks is a dud .. what the hell do you brooks lovers see that we don’t ?
Seriously??

I thought you said you had stopped watching Hobbo?

Rubbish - you also have to defend or don't you count that?

LL fitness levels are not upto NRL standard of playing 80mins as a back rower in the modern game not trying to be personal to him but I feel his body weight is far too high with these new rules unfortunately. Body weight of a middle. He tires easily makes poor decisions in defence. He is one of the major reasons why our teams defence is so poor. We cannot afford to carry a backrower like him next session playing long minutes doesn’t matter who our spine is next year. When the game is up tempo on a fast pitch like yesterday with middles struggling he fatigues even quicker. He came here as bench player remains a bench player but our depth and recruitment is so poor we have had to play him long minutes. He needs to trim right down get his fitness levels right up in the off season. I like to see him come on at 25 -30min mark next season when opposition teams are getting very tired as this could help improve his poor defence.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

I really felt for Amone, Talau, Doueihi, Tuilagi and Blore who really tried their guts out.

It was very noticeable again yesterday how poor Lucy is in defence.

Any news on what Tuilagi did to himself?
