Not too unhappy

I am not unhappy at all after last night, I mean obviously I would have been happier if we won but without a halfback which messed with the games of Marshall because he doesent suit being first reciever like that and also with robbie not being able to be in at dummy half as much ruining our momentum a lot we were really good - McKinnon showed he is only going to get better and better, Lote was strong, Lawrence was brilliant, Ryan solid except that jump for the bomb and the issue was more the others not trusting him and taking their man. We were right in it for 70 minutes and if we score in those 5 sets on their line then its a different game. Plus having a half back means our kicking game would be so much better and that was the big difference. As for the Dragons I dont think they can play any better .

Listening to the Wayne Bennett interview he knows that the Tigers are a big danger and was very happy to get away with the win

Also if Weyman had been sent off like he should have been would have made a difference that was way worse then the Luke O'Donnell tackle in Origin just because McKinnon got up should make no difference

I'm unhappy. But more so, very dissappointed.

We were dealt with the cards we were dealt with, and yet we decide to 'fold' so to speak.

- Ayshford should have a stint back in NSW cup
- Daniella is not first grade material
- Ryan should stop chasing channel 9 contracts rather spend time actually learning how to JUMP and contest a bomb kick. He is absolutely s*** both in attack and defence in this area. Tuiaki to replace him ASAP.
- and lastly, Benji. You need to spend every second of training learning how to tackle properly, it's embaressing. The spare moments you have you can also learn how to kick conversions consistently too.

It's no excuse blaming inuries and players out of position, quite frankly, our attitude let us down once again.
When Emmett knocked on at the 70th minute mark, that was our opportunity to show what we have got, but instead we simply GAVE UP…threw in the towel like a schoolboys team. It is unacceptable. Those tries at the end were pathetic and should have been stopped, we let the game get to us. We've gone through it time and time again with our mental attitude at the end of games but we still don't measure up. It is very dissapointing.

Fair measured critisim is one thing but this is another, Beau Ryan did not miss one kick bombed to him last week or this. He scores 2 tries one week and ok not this week but other than that didn't put a foot wrong. Saying he is shit in attack and defense is just plain wrong, you are entitled to your opinion but when it's this ignorant keep your thoughts to yourself.

We lose to the best team in the comp without a half and despite switching off at the end held them pretty evenly put up a fair point. Yes the team will be disappointed and so am i but this is good. We come out next week and get back on track and SUPPORT the team, not just bag them for 1 loss after winning 4 in a row, mate go and work for te Daily Telegraph they will make you editor.

I was dissapointed. Dragons were clinical, and if we are being honest were always in control of the game. Inexcusable to let in those last 2 tries, for and against is crucial at the end of the season and we of all teams should know that having missed out on the finals before because of it.

Dissapointed with a few of our established players. Galloway was woeful, dominated up front and no chance of a rep call up anytime soon. Marshall played a shocker, for a guy who now has 100+ games under his belt I don't think he should be making as many elementary errors.
 
The thing is I and i think everyone else here have seen us play better.
We all know we can.
I dont think Saints can, I havent seen them play better, do they know they can?
Dont think so…come Sept same ol same ol
Yeah i agree.The saints where well prepared and played their best game of the season.
We did some silly things when it was 22 10 that could have changed the game if we scored.
We played well for 70 mins & i think the boys can get some confidence out of the game even though we lost

Short memory must have a…. must've missed him successfully defend the kick several times last week against Joel Monaghan, a noted leaper. And his success rate under the high ball, under pressure, is actually quite high.

Beau had the right idea re: Morris, if the 4 other tigers around him were a little more alert and showed a little faith in Beau, a try could've been saved.
