Started well with 69% of the play and then the ref found his whistle and hasn't stopped blowing it ever since! Let the game go Atkins you absolute dud!!

Running hard and straight makes a world of difference. Rugba Leeg 101.

How that pass near the end of the half there was not ruled forward is beyond me. I know nothing came of it, but Atkins has to be trying to miss things if he didn't see that.

Only one forward has an offload so far. Feel like a way to get any spark in the attack is going to be off the back of that picking up in the second half.

Trent and Tui have been good. Rest of the pack was lazy af

Totally out-enthused by the Cowboys in that first half, and some really poor discipline at times (and kicking, again) is making it look like we're really not in the contest mentally.

All the talk from the so-called experts about how we should have prioritised Munster's extension over Hughes' is just proving what a rubbish take that is, unsurprisingly.

Also, I love how we're just missing Hughes and Paps, and that's why we look crap in attack according to the commentators. We're also the only ones holding down/not clearing the ruck apparently, and Cam Smith made a career out of throwing forward passes from dummy half like the one called on the Cowboys in the first half. :rolleye:

...and now we have 5 good tackles in the second half and decide we're done - absolutely pathetic, uninterested, retreating defence.

Good night all.

Ieremia :roll:

Not even his fault. Bellamy knows what he is going to get.

I actually feel for Dean and Seve they know they are out of their league but Bellamy keeps placing them there. Either they are the incorrect selections or they are incapable of following the game plan and sticking to their role

Would have got out of the in-goal, but decided running sideways in goal was a better option.
