Doesnt matter what the final score ended up...if anyone watched the game they know that the effort our boys put in tonight was beyond disgraceful.

Yeh it was great that we showed heart and did not let the Knights run away with a 40pt win.
Man imagine if we threw the ball around like that with the likes of Inglis in the team.
However saying that a very very poor performance and not acceptable for a team with such high standards. Its sad that it took to the 65 minute sand to be down 26-0 to realise we were in a game. During the first half and most of the second i really did question if the boys were putting in 100%.
Hoffman was our best.
Blair needs to start
The rest need a good kick up the arse.

Only positive is that it puts the Bronco's back down to 8th!!
Why do we try and play this boring take it up one tackle all the time??. The game has changed. You need to give the ball some air and throw it around and offload and do some tricky things.
We are way too PREDICTABLE. And we are paying the price.

Agree with all that especailly the bit about GI. We cater too much for Slater and Cronks game IMO. See Queensland for what can happen when you make Greg the #1 option.Bullets wrote: Yeh it was great that we showed heart and did not let the Knights run away with a 40pt win.

yeh here i was watching us 26-0 down accepting defeat just looking at stuff we can improve on and who are our real passengers in the team when the boys put on 3 tries in no time to give themself half a chance, suddenly i was right back in the game then Anderson blows any chance we had of pulling off the most undeserved comeback victory in history and im back left dissappointed and wondering what if?

Yep just give that ball air and get it to GI wide and early and let him do his thing.Noa Nandruku wrote:Agree with all that especailly the bit about GI.

Cross has a broken leg. One disaster after another!!
I don't care what people some about Inglis not putting all in every week.
He is missed, tonight we needed some sort of superstar spark outwide and had nothing.
Yes Nielson is solid but so is Chambers, Anderson and Turner...a bunch of just solid backs won't win you too many big games

That sucks for Crossy. ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
Maybe Tandy will get his go.

Can't believe I sat through the whole lot! Hoffman was definately our best. Slater was crap and has been for the whole season, sorry. Cronk is really pissing me off, hogging the ball every tackle!!!! Grrrrrr!!
Inglis was missed, obviously. But just because he's not playing doesn't mean we suddenly can't tackle, or that we have no go forward!

Koopu time, same sort of player, tall athletic backrower with a good offload.

Agree about Slater, been pretty ordinary all season and we need him to start showing up or if he is not going to be the absolute star every week he MUST cut down on the mistakes, way too many even for a player like him.I love Cooper wrote: Can't believe I sat through the whole lot!
