LIVE GAME Round 21 vs. Warriors

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

I think we all need to move the mental health thread if there is any positivity about that game. We had just been flogged twice. We just played a team playing terrible and could have won if we were not totally clueless and USELESS. There is nothing to be positive about. Nothing!

No a finisher is someone who finishes it. That's the exact definition.

Alex Johnson is a finisher. You shouldn’t make first grade if your entire skill set is catch and ground the ball.

 

[Spidercam]

No sin bins is a plus

 

[Telltails]

Dont have anything to add that hasn't been already said. 4 more games of torture but will still head to Leichhardt on Thursday

 

[happy_tiger]

Low effort season from ute

Not easy when you have all those Dogs $$$$s weighing you down

 

[Squater]

Any chance of one of the 12 other blokes out there running a line for him to give it to - or they just watching the game like us?

That's why he runs side ways. No one running straight lines ffs they just watch him

 

[stephen]

Sit Steph out until he makes his decision.

Club should make it for him.

 

[balmain boy]

We don't have any backs on our top 30-40 that any other club would want. Even Bula would be playing NSW cup for most other clubs.
So at the end of the season we need to offload/terminate the contracts of:
Faatape
Toa
Naden
Sukkar
Staines
Lobb
Feledy
Douiehi
Porter
Matamua
Alaimalo
Klemmer
Bateman

Both Lauliliis and Mason are borderline, both still 18 months away from first grade contention, but highly unlikely to succeed.

If we can do this we have a chance of competing for the 8

 

[Strider]

Warriors played as bad as any team we have played in years. Last year would have been 70 nil. We were WOEFUL mate sorry

Yeh but i never would have had a hope to beat warriors this year, so ill sleep fine.

BAGNF05 is accurate. These days. They create a finish as well as finish. Stains never creates a try. Our other winger can.

As much as this result is disappointing and absolutely unacceptable as a standard it’s pretty obvious to see that losing this game is not a bad thing. I know it’s a bad look but the Warriors had far more to play for than us, we are out of finals contention, they are not. Had everything to play for and we didn’t. Not to mention going squad for squad we get beat pretty much everywhere.

I know emotions are raw when games are over but looking realistically we probably should be getting a wooden spoon. Next year is where the line has to be drawn, I feel for Benji cause I mean realistically who can he replace in the positions that need to be changed? We have horrible depth in terms of quality, I mean our 5/8 in NSW cup is Brent Naden. What I mean by line in the sand is that we simply cannot cop poor performances from the same individuals and Benji has already done a bit of that this year. After this performance Stefano NEEDS to be dropped like seriously imagine he played that ball with the game on the line it’s honestly disgraceful. It’s a spit in the face to Benji, his teammates and fans. These multiple weeks he has not been anywhere near FIRST GRADE standard let alone better prop status.

Tbh hard to be disappointed with 28 - 16 against warriors, comparing the two teams lineups.

Thats how disillusioned we've become, that losses by 13 or less are acceptable. Good if you made that bet though.

What crap we served up tonight again , one out football , u would think after 20 minutes u would release that there middle defence was good , so go wide but not our dum lot .
Again dum stupid mistakes , wonder who benji will blame this week , no Bateman to pick on , BUT maybe he has him on speed dail. That was a game we could have won , ref again shit on us two forward passes in there try’s , and he gave Rodger a pass on two knock ons , tigers shit refs shit , not happy jan

That's all Johnston does

 

[Westie]

He is gone and I don't expect much from him in the future.. I have the feeling he will go the way of Woods...jump from club to club .not reaching any highs

I agree with that. Not sure that's what he was saying though.

I like young Luke. He's brave if nothing else. Still a place for courage in League.

Benji spits in our faces when he continues to pick him. Is that Stefs fault?

Benji needs to replace himself immediately.

That's all Johnston does

You haven’t watched him, he routinely shrugs off defenders to score.
