[magpies forever]

cronulla are 2.45 souths 1.55 for next week

Manly 1.80 favourites against Brisbane $2 next week

Anyone who thought this Luai stuff wouldn't impact the season, there's your answer

Rubbish. 3 x regulars down, plus loosing Doueihi early in game, plus a bit of Benji weird choices added to the pot. Weakness with Toa and Tuvana area. On the positive, I reckon our forwards held their own still but badly let down in the backs. I thought Madden and Luai went ok. Anyway, the next 2 x matches will test us.

 

[Yossarian]

there can not be any Mr Peter Positives on here after that performance today
wake up to yourselves.
Even without Api AD KPP bula
the effort was terrible

That’s what always shits me. No Api, AD, Bula, KPP. Let’s roll up the sleeves and grind it out set for set. Instead we get error after error. We probably had the ball for around 6 or so minutes all up in the second half and made 6 errors. Tuck it under an arm kick deep. Pin them down.

 

[Tucker]

Problem is we face desperate Storm who ate bound to bounce back against us.

If any team is capable of racking up a proper cricket score against us, it’s them.
We are weak, injured and playing soft footy.
Next week we’ll see how many of these guys are worth keeping past current contracts.

 

[magpies forever]

Most of the guys out today will be out a few weeks .. they got Storm and Manly on deck and away … they are in some bother and I hope Benji has a Plan B

Yep, hope so.

 

[Flippedy]

No depth is the issue once again. The Broncos repeatedly, Canberra yesterday and some other teams also have put in great performances without their main troops. First time we’re under strength this year and this is what we get. It’s pretty disappointing tbh, I thought we were different this season.

 

[TigerBurnsy]

I have bagged skelton out plenty
however
Toa and tavana should never see nrl for tigers again after that performance

And we both just resigned both of them

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

Halfback out, hooker out, fullback out, gun second rower out yet we are supposed to still be beating a regular top four team, wake up people.

 

[Bula]

we
Toa looked totally disinterested

He never looks interested. Never.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Our bench forwards all had shockers

Compounded with Toa and Tavana

The big tank was toothless today .

We will lose to the storm for sure. We have no cattle.

Storm at home after 7 losses against a team beaten by 40 and injury riddled.
We’ll bounce but maybe not next week.

Alright let’s breakdown the stats from NRL.

37% possession
62% completion
1166 running metres vs 2063
Time in possession 19 minutes vs 32

Second half only. NRL.com doesn’t do half numbers so according to Fox Sports we had

27% possession
58% completion (7 of 13)
263 running metres vs 1100
229 tackles made vs 86
0 tackles in opposition 20m v 31

Incredible stuff eh.

We were still in it at half time despite everything.

 

[Demps]

Halfback out, hooker out, fullback out, gun second rower out yet we are supposed to still be beating a regular top four team, wake up people.

We need to show some effort.

This didn't happen tonight.
Sione, Starford & Tavana all let us down.

Problem is we face desperate Storm who ate bound to bounce back against us.

It isnt the same storm.
Ill be suprised if we dont win 13+ despite how poor we were today

 

[Lukic]

On reflection, it probably should've been Doueihi to 1, Madden to 7.

 

[Demps]

I'd argue Luai let us down too.

When we came out for the second half. He was all smiles. Chatting to Taylan - no smiles. Looked locked in and ready. Evident when he didn't take a back step from Braydon Trindall.

Ain't nothing to smile about here.

Forwards held their own? Our forwards have been brilliant this season but the Sharks were rolling down the field effortlessly in that second half

 

[Tigerstripes1]

why does this happen to us every year at this time same thing happened last year we started well and went down to Melbourne by 66 and it had the same feeling today in the second half we completely shut off and add the injuries to that where do we go from here we’ve been so strong this year and then this happens, Its good to be positive but the 50 points conceded hurts exspecially after how well we’ve started the season

Our forwards had the worst game in a while. Played ok first half and were not helped by errors. But even they were flat.

Halfback out, hooker out, fullback out, gun second rower out yet we are supposed to still be beating a regular top four team, wake up people.

Canberra, broncos et all. We are not a top side

We’re gonna be without Samuela Fainu for a lengthy stint also. You don’t get carried off the field unless it’s bad. [This word has been automatically removed] me dead

Forwards held their own? Our forwards have been brilliant this season but the Sharks were rolling down the field effortlessly in that second half

They were making like 70 meters a set

 

[Droppy05]

Yep, hope so.

he diesnt have a planA
