Am I the only one who sees nothing in Lewis? I could be wrong, but I don't see anything to him at all.

Olam has been one of the worst on the field tonight.

He's nothing more than an 18th man at best

28-0 down against a team missing their best two players. Absolutely shocking. With any bad results in the past ive always had confidence that we'll turn it around for finals but something is badly wrong here.

This is a real test for craig i think. Does he keep playing big names who havent performed for a while or drop them and mske a strong statement to the team?

What game are you watching. He's been the only one putting some starch in us.

But he's a school teacher! As the commentators like to remind us

Hoping that Paps is just back spasms, and not reinjuring the knee. but I'm not confident.

Macdonald rightly rewarded with a try. He's a good kid, good energy. Sky's the limit if he keeps it up.

Cool that you like a guy who runs hard but he’s been consistently beaten defensively. And his brain dead penalty in the first half started all this rot.

I don't know why MacDonald spent so many week no playing and Lewis was getting a game. Craig must see something that I can not

MacDonald's energy the one positive for the night.

Time to blood some guys who want to be there. Howarth needs a shot, warbrick, heck anyone with even a modicum of passion and desire.

We need a leader to captain, not a passenger. And cheese has shown exactly why he wasn't the first choice hooker.

The brain dead penalty where he was offside but stayed out of & did not affect the play but was penalised anyway? That brain dead penalty? If so, wow, might be taking your frustration a bit too far there perhaps?!

Sorry but you're factually incorrect regarding being one of the worst on the field.

115+ meters
60+ post contact meters
6 tackle breaks
1 offload

But yes one of the worst on the field. Come on mate.

Check his outside man for a glimpse as to why he defends like he had to. Also having the entire sharks attack down his side is bound to have increased defensive errors.
