God help us
That's great. We usually win those away games. A great chance to regain some touch. You're an absolute feckwit actionman, or is it roberttuz?

Nah, I give cherrypoppins the benefit of the doubt here. At least he doesn't change identity all the time.

The time will come when a side will miss finals due to being depleted during origin, if it hasn't happened already.

Well that was really disappointing.

I never expected to win it, but I thought we could keep it reasonably close.
The decision making by both wingers was dreadful, andf the centres inside them did them no favours at all. The halves did little to direct play and whatever the game plan was I doubt they read it.

What irritates me most though, is that the the dogs scored three tries in the 10 minutes that Reynolds should have been off the field...
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Gives a massive advantage to the dogs against other teams who don't play us during origin.

Lucky for dogs that luke patten was the video ref today otherwise williams would have been charged with a shoulder charge
and Juzzie would have been paid a penalty try for being taken out by reynolds and he should have been put in the bin.

Have no one to blame but ourselves. Plenty of other teams have gone through this over the years and have gone through it better than we have. Bellamy has no idea what he is doing when he isn't coaching a team with the big 3.

Pathetic performance.

I am not blaming anyone for our loss but I was just pointing out a couple of REALLY BAD Reffing decisions.

The boys just threw in the towel after Justin O'Neill was denied courtesy of a professional foul by Reynolds. Oh well, thankfully the dreaded Origin period has come to a close.

The evidence for stand alone Origin weekends continues to mount.

Bullshit play by the dogs & officals aside - what cost us ?
NO defensive structure
NO attacking hunger
NO team cohesion
NO HEART
