Oh, and that's handed the minor premiership to the Bunnies.

We have no idea what we're doing when behind.

Aaaand we give up an easy try on full time. Tigers players have an orgy to celebrate.

Icing on the cake.

Just an unStormlike game. 3 tries off terrible decisions/errors from us. Outplayed.


Hope the boys enjoyed the week on the GC.

Meh. One of the most pathetic efforts I've seen.

Slater and Cronk probably had their worst games. Ever.

It goes to show the effect of Origin mentally. They didn't turn up. Horrendous.

Calling us pretenders is idiotic. So many of the comments tonight resemble comments that were made last year during the slump that we suffered at a similar time of the year.

I believe many underestimate the effect Origin has on players, not only physically but mentally too.

good defence in the first half, didnt turn up after half time

tigers come off the line very very fast in the first half and we would come 1 or 2 metres and wait, giving them easy metres.

games over now... move on the next one

Blair, Waqa, Chambers, Bromwich, Harris and Ryles can hold their heads up, the rest were pathetic

I think Bobby Blair, Sisa and Ryles were the only guys to actually show up tonight. We really seem to lose our way when Cronk is pressured. Slater was trying to do too much tonight and didn't play is usual off the cuff football.

We also looked more dangerous with the Ball with Griffin at hooker.

Frustrating loss, specially with Souths pulling away from us.

I don't see Souths creating a buffer on us that big of a deal. They could rest on their laurels and become complacent going into the finals.
