Round 2 v Bulldogs at AAMI Park
Crypto currency is not in a great place at the moment. Fair chance they can't spare the real money this week.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately
Dreadful performance.
Melbourne turned up thinking they would just have to go through the motions. When it didn't go according to plan everyone waited for someone else to do the hard work and pull them out of the excrement.
Young had two brain explosions in 2 minutes and got himself binned. Then it was all over.
Last week Munster stood up in the second half and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and got us back into it. This week Nelson tried, but he got injured and no one else stepped up.

I thought Welch tried to get the guys going after he came back on but was too late. Agree on everyone looking around for someone else to have an answer. Felt like we had the same issue during last years awful run too.

No way. That’s on the players. Fkn soft and lazy. If you can’t get up to play like a maniac for the best NRL coach of the last 18 years…then lima lima lima duck off out of the NRL.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

With respect to the eminent Sally, I'd agree with SS. The usual gauge as to a coach is "Has he lost the sheds" or " Are the players paying attention to him" and by the photos being published, there is no evidence of that. The other thing about coach's "use by date" is negative items leaked to the press and I've seen none of that.Storm Spirit wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 3:11 pmNo way. That’s on the players.

Yep, was going to say this.
Our roster management and strength and conditioning staff should wear a chunk of this.
That doesn’t excuse effort issues. Two weeks in a row, we are running sideways or looking for a sneaky pass rather than rolling up sleeves and trying to win the ruck battle. It’s looking for a shortcut and the antithesis of what Bellamy is about.
I would also say that we have in the past had so much experience that when we bring in a younger player or journeyman, they can slot into a well established system, focus on one or two things and be successful. With that experience gone, the structures are flimsy and they seemingly can’t glide through unnoticed like in days gone.
