****WE ARE AN EMBARRASMENT*****

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

Russell, I can understand Robbie hogging the ball because almost every time the ball went out to left flank it was a disaster, it would frighten me. When we did not score off Farah's early break or half break that was a blueprint for the rest of the game. Off one of the Knights big runs late in the game everyone was missing their tackles and who comes in from afar and takes him - Robbie - and looked like stopped a try. The other stand out was Moses, always everywhere he should be doing his job the best he can. When Woods went off whom was captain?

No one is doubting Robbie's ability in defence BBF- we know what he can do.

It is everything else!

Whats an embarrassment is the consistent poor decisions with your kicking game, kicking over the dead ball line from halfway, flick passing at a million miles an hour to your winger thats right next to you, not being able to hit the target when passing along the backline after you've played together your whole lives, not selecting a team that's worthy of first grade, continually rewarding people that have never had an impact in a single game.

Robbie Farah stiffles play once again.
No spark out of dummy half. Brooks getting the ball with defenders just 3 metres away.

I'm not sure if others see it but Robbie really slows our attack down.

could not agree more.. Farah is killing our young half. he is getting the ball way too late.. we have not won a game since farah has been back and our attack his dropped significantly. I think Farah is a hog. I have watched these two carefully they cannot work together one has to go…

Don't know what you are on about, half the time our two young heroes aren't anywhere near where they should be , and I'm sure if they call it they get it, ever think that he may have been told to run it, actually he was one of the few who did run it and provide the chance for anyone else when he did.
Watch for the difference in May/ June when he has some genuine first graders around him.
I feel sorry for Tedesco and him. To have to front up to this badly Coached team with our over rated imposters each week . And the Nrls most useless Coach, must be mind numbing, and it's about Woods started playing to his reputation

Poppycock.

Here is a measuring tool on out talent; Grant couldn't get a run at Souths and he one of our best. The talent is there, the attitude is not. We are a club in rapid decline. Hopefully, the players take more pride in their jerseys and turn things around.

I think at the end of 26 rounds we will end up with 8 points
4 we already have and 4 from byes

do you know for sure that we will win the byes, ??
I'm thinking of backing the byes in both games.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Win the first two games without Farah. Lose the next three when he plays. You have to be brain dead not to work that out.

He really has to go, along with Sironen, Sue, Brooks, Milone et al. If the selections are not based on salary cap problems, then, Taylor must go as well. I say this as having been a supporter of JT from the start. But this is getting beyond a joke.

I can see who is brain dead col.
Really stupid post.

Col, that just shows what poo the Warriors and Manly were
Would you like to play them again and see the result ?

Farah cost us a try today. With Newcastle in possession near half way he appealed to the referee for a penalty with his hands up in the air. The Newcastle player kept running and made a break which led to a try. I am almost sure that Farah with his hands still up was just starting to run whilst Newcastle went over for the try.

Talking about costing tries.
Moses cost one when he dropped the ball which gave them possession which they scored from. But let's not worry about little things like that.

To put it bluntly the side is soft. They need a major clean-out & get some footballing hard heads in there who want to win. To be honest you could pencil in Tedesco, Grant, Nofa (does half the forwards work for them) & Woods (though he is not a hard head). The rest of the side and the coac hing staff should be shown the exit.

Grant???????? are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!

Do yourself a favour and if you can stomach it, watch this game again and watch him get destroyed every carry he has against arguably (no the worst) pack in the NRL.

Everyone is entitled to an off game but he's more than due for the ESL.
As the season wears on im expecting to see a gradual decline, thats if he doesn't get injured and earn his coin in rehab.
Ordinary personified.

Grant was back to his Souths form yesterday.
Most of the forward pack are soft as marshmallows.

AND we will never do any good whilst he tries to become the play maker inside the oppositions 20 metres. It jars the attack and is not fair to Moses and Brooks. Their reputations are on the line and he is undermining them.

Reputations what reputations.
They haven't earned one yet.
Wonder if they are embarrassed negotiating for 700k atm.

In todays Herald Phil Gould did not put any blame on Farah at all, but on the poor handling and decisions of our youngsters.

 

[Swordy]

Please tell me you dont take Phil Gould seriously.

Please tell me you dont take Phil Gould seriously.

You don't think he knows anything about football?

 

[maxxy86]

Look at the end of the day it wasn't anyone in particular that lost us that game. We aren't playing as a team and playing an entire 80 minutes.
We would be lucky ATM to be playing 8 minutes of good footy.

 

[maxxy86]

Please tell me you dont take Phil Gould seriously.

He did point out maybe 2 seasons ago that we have two halfbacks in our team. Yes he may go on and on but he makes a lot of sense also.

He knows way more than i do, but i believe there is a fair bit of media myth about him also.. ….and he is happy to feed that myth.

Im just thinking i wouldnt place too much importance on his thinking or reasons.

Which was obvious if you watched the game. Farah deserves a kick up his backside for the playing for penalties that he did and a couple of the poor options that he took but he deserved our best player if you take that crap out of his game and that crap didn't impact the result.

That is because the only forward the Knights needed to muscle up against was him. Woods performed up to his usual high standard, Ava is showing half the fire of last year when he did not have a contract, Sue was gone injured after 20 mins. Most of the rest of the hit ups were done by wingers and teddy. If you want to see someone that would be an ESL star look no further than Curtis. He shows all the potential of Dave Taylor

Grant was back to his Souths form yesterday.

I just watched the replay and Robbie seems to opt for Brooks a majority of the time and its slow service. It may as well be a get back 5 metre rule because he has half the time to play what's in front of him and its all rushed passes. Moses was shackled and only made progress in 2nd phase play.

Robbie is not giving quick service and we cant make any metres.
We only managed 16 points all game when in recent weeks we were 16 up in 30 mins without him.

I'm tired of this rubbish.
The reason the defence gets up so fast is because our players get dominated (or held up) in tackles giving the defence more time.
In the first game our forwards actually got back and ran onto the ball taking us forward - it's been retrograde ever since.
