The Klown loves his 6 agains. Just remember the Chooks vs. Raiders GF where he won the Chooks the GF with his waving arm in the wind antics.

that says more about your footy knowledge or lack there of than mine mate.
Listen to the font of all knowledge.
Everyone, we must bow at the feet of Papenhuyzen23's superior wisdom. Clearly he is secretly Warren Ryan.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Why is it that when we play at Brooky the side's IQ collectively drops by 80%?

Our forwards seriously need a tune up.
I don't think being skipper has done Harry any favours. Problem is, who would we give it to?

Positives

- Sua Fa’alogo is a player, if he is ever dropped again I will start questioning CB.

- Loiero has his best game of the season, only forward that ran for over 100m and turned momentum off the bench.

Not much else.

Negatives

- Outside backs were putrid, no punch and no clue, including X tonight. That whole 3/4 line was horrendous.

- As mentioned Grant was like a puppy off the chain, he needed to run and play direct and do his job of bringing the forwards onto the ball and did neither, tries to become the half back and stifles everything, at least he has a crack unlike some others though.

- Forwards were just embarrassed, laid down. Again no one breaks 100 in the starting pack and to be honest it’s not good enough at this level. They all need to put in a bit more.

- Coaching, I’m sorry, but even the great CB needs to be culpable, why take the 2 when down 6? Someone please explain this to me?

Do you ever contribute anything besides trying to be funny and failing spectacularly at others expenses?

This is a forum no? I like how you ignore someone targeting me but call out my reaction ::)

That Loiero was such an obvious standout says a lot about our pack. Can’t rely on any of our middles. Even the two edges had negative plays that hurt us.

You could make the argument for Hughes to take it as a member of the leadership group or maybe King?

I’m a big fan of Loiero. I’ll throw it out there - I think he’s the team’s best middle forward outside of King.

He makes mistakes and gives away penalties but that’s because he’s involved and trying things. He’ll only get better. Last year was bad because I believe he was playing out of position.

The pillow with legs just doesn’t cause enough damage with the ball in hand for mine. And by “enough”, I mean “any”.

All in all, we played horse shit tonight and only lost by one converted try. The Sea Wiggles almost knocked off the Broncos last week on their home ground, no mean feat. We have the week off, and then face up against the one-manned Knights (Ponga).

Scooter is a big boy, doesn’t need you to hold his hand TC.

Again I’m not sure why if you simply don’t like my opinion (which is pretty obvious) you don’t just keep scrolling, stop interacting with me if I bother you so much. You just lurk and pounce when you can get a cheap shot in.
