Re: Official thread and signing news

I don’t know how we have landed where we have but I can’t see any quick fixes. It’s gonna take some time, and that’s even if the club appreciates the scale of the problem (which I am not convinced).

Re: Official thread and signing news

In days gone, we had our superstar spine, a strong but underrated pack, a number of young guns pushing for first grade and supplemented by a couple of journey men / outcasts. Today we still have the superstar spine, but the pack has completely fallen apart, there is only one genuine youngster pushin...

Re: Official thread and signing news

I’m so worried about the shape of our roster.

Re: 2023, The post mortem

Hughes is the only logical choice for captain in my opinion. But I said that same thing this time last year as well.

Re: Queensland Cup

I’ll tune in for that but that’ll be it. I genuinely could not have less interest in the NRL GF.

Re: Who is no be kept from the 2023 squad

It’s almost as if the post season went exactly as predicted. Funny that.

Re: Rep Squads and Awards

Yeah I don’t think we pick up anything this year. Harry might snag the Hooker award, but I’m not convinced it would be entirely deserved this year.

Harry’s defence is a not spoken about problem we are going to have to address at some point.

Re: 2023, The post mortem

Post mortem is appropriate phrasing. My autopsy results are simply that our season died around Round 10 and we have been “Weekend at Bernies”-ing since then.

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium

A Prelim appearance paints over the gaping underlying cracks IMO. The words coming from the club aren’t great with some saying that they don’t see it as a failure, rather more success making another Prelim. “We were one win away from another GF”. Technically true, but in reality we were miles away f...

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium

Honestly hard to fathom how bad our shifts were.

I could understand it if the Penrith defence were in our face and putting pressure on. But most of the time we were getting in our own way. Players weren’t sure where to be. Then basic one out passing was made to look difficult.

Astonishing.

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium

Before we turned to utter trash, we had more than our share of opportunities to keep it close or claw back a reachable lead… But we squandered it through some of the worst backline plays you will ever see in first grade.

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium

Everyone said it. If we keep naming the same team, doing the same thing, expect the same result.

We didn’t change and doggedly held onto mediocrity.

Ultimately, got what we deserved.

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium

The ref is the very least of our worries True. But it should be a big worry for the game overall. You can’t have a professional sporting comp where the game is so heavily influenced by arbitrary calls that aren’t clear cut. The RL ruck interpretation and 10m rules are beyond a joke. If it makes me ...

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium

What a way to go out. A 38 - 4 humping.

Deserved in every way.
- Team selection
- Tactics
- Discipline
- Skill

You could pick 4 players out of random Q Cup teams, throw them together at kick-off, and they would likely be more in sync than our left edge were tonight.

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium

Hahaha, we shift left and people trip over, run in front of each other, stop… it’s like a 3 Stooges skit.
