Our worst ever wests side

I think they will too.

And I agree that we never look like scoring a length of the field try. You're always thinking…give him a runner Then your next thought is...but who...There seems to no game plan and it's a long time since I saw anything that looks like a set play.

Still I'll tip them against Knights next week...if Tedesco is in the side

Teddy won't play again till origin, we will struggle to beat the knights just like last year when we were the only team to lose to them

I really believe that Cleary is only looking to '18, giving some of the younger guys a shot to see if they are worth keeping.

Funny, I am sure I read where Pascoe insisted Cleary was appointed to 'stop the sideways drift this year (2017). The only drifting we have been doing is downwards. Of course we will be so much better next year but I wasn't expecting this sort of embarrassment.
 
I think the Knights are already a powerhouse this year..they beat Canberra…

I think Cleary is as confused as everyone else as to why they make so many errors. They give away the most stupid penalties. They kick the ball into the legs of players over and over again, they pass the ball to no one and on and on it goes. Stupid mistakes. Tigers need to commit to winning games and that means not making school boy errors.

Like you mate, shaking my head!
 
The Magpies had a fullback one season who only had one arm. Don't get me wrong I'm not bagging him because he had tremendous heart but it says something about the team when your fullback has one arm.

Seriously? When was that?

I'm thinking 70s. His name was Kerry Gibson and I believe he lost one arm between the wrist and elbow. Despite his disability he caught bombs well and tackled well too. He just wasn't first grade material but had unbelievable heart.

That's nothing, now a days we have about half the team running around with no brains.

I am an ex Balmain supporter and i remember him well.he never copped any rubbish from opposition supporters and he was well respected by everyone for his efforts

42 games by University.

They won Round 1 in 1934, then lost the remaining 13 games of the year

They then lost all 16 games in 1935

And then lost the first 13 games in 1936

Saints lose Vaughn after 3 minutes, but Widdop ripping the knights up, keep it up saints, we need the knights F/A to cop a hammering
 
Knights now all over saints and lead 18 - 10, we will still be last even if we beat the knights next week due to our poor F/A
