Did you see Cleary laughing at the end of the game …. such passion.

Yes that'l do it for me, he can get on his own damn bus and get back on the M4

I haven't seen the footage, but if true, he can leave. That is one thing I cant stand. He should be heart broken like us supporters, I don't care if he fakes it.

I went back looking for the footage and all I could find was just after Naiqama scored and he barely cracked a smile, bit hard on Cleary if that’s the case.

You guys expect a lot.
Realistic results this year with what we have available.
Settle down.
Improved roster next year and we make the eight.

Next year. It's too funny.

Improved roster
:roll

I hope this improved roster doesn't come from the Old Mens' Home.

Do you think tonight's performance was acceptable against a very out of sorts Dragons team that last placed Parramatta put 40 points on?

Can cope with losing but when we make Luciano Leilua look like Taumalolo and Kurt Mann look like Fittler something's really amiss

Dragons did everything in their powers to hand that game on a platter to us in the 1st half and our lack of control and patience killed us

What? It can't be! We have Benji and Farah.

We have "old" Benji and Farah and it certainly isn't the 2005 version.

Well, there's a lot here that believe these blokes are God's. Theyre rubbish and need to go. There's no excuse for these clowns to not learn anything in the last 13 or so seasons as far as controlling a game goes. Just plain disgraceful.

We have the worst attack in the NRL, and it was all on show tonight

Lets be honest, we dont deserve to be in the finals…. we are where we deserve to be. Scraping into the semis seems to be the be and end all of most of the fans, but I want to be a real contender. Being bundled out in the first finals game to me is as bad as coming last.

We knew months ago were werent contenders, whats with all the vitriol tonight? Were you all delusional enough to think we were a chance of winning it if we managed to win tonight...

I hope that Farah and Benji have their careers for 2019 sorted out just as Ivan surely has.

 

[Harvey]

What a weak effort, Cleary and his distractions can go to Penrith, that was disgraceful.

Yep he sure can

For me , massive call not starting with Rowdy

We were playing crash ball footy and the best in our side at running a great line at speed was sitting on the bench

Any thoughts of re-signing the elder statesmen has to be seriously rethought about after tonight

All that experience and no control , no patience , no building pressure

Brooks didn’t help by doing a disappearing act whenever it came to the 5th.
Shambles.

Yeah he was hiding one pass off the ruck. The dummy half couldn't find him

This is falls back on the coaching staff as it sounds like the game plan. Do u think Bellamy would put up with that from his key play maker if it wasn't in the plan.

Now this is a very good question…I am not to positive at this stage have to wait for the 6 top liners signed I suppose well hopefully.

He’s the halfback - he should make sure gets in a position to take the ball and demand it.
Remember him saying it was his team?

Game management I really was not going to bring that up again sorry!

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

The amount of ball we squandered inside their 20 in the first half was criminal. Poor ball security killed us with the first six penalties keeping us firmly entrenched up their end. Soon as the square up came around we lost control.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

We were terrible tonight and so were st George. Not sure who was calling the shots but it was a mess all over the park. As a club we have too many of these games each year

I honesrtly couldnt believe what i was seeing.

Giving the ball away on first and second tackles 10 matres out from Saints line.

It must have happened half a dozen times in the first half.

Just incredible…..
