Yeah, definitely not ideal, very fragile defensively

Looked better in attack with Munny and Pappy alas Pappy injured now.

Feel so bad for Paps. A brutal last year plus for him.

This team can’t handle any pressure. As soon as the middle folds the edge has nothing.

This was always the risk with Paps. Brilliant player when fit and with games under his belt, but the tiny frame was always at risk of injury in the NRL.

Anyone at the game, can you tell me what's in the middle of the ground with the toddlers and small goal posts?

Five minutes of decent football and then back to the rubbish they've dished up the last two weeks.

Rapidly running out of backs, might be time to bring Bill out of retirement.

Still a massive lack of patience and resilience from the lads. Trying to hard to make things happen quickly and not backing up their mistakes or when plays go against them.

Middle of the ground has toddlers running with balls and scoring under the posts. That is all they at doing. They are very little

Season gone with paps most likely gone for season. That’s 4 season ending injuries 3 in our backline.

It literally feels like the last time things went to plan was last years semi.

Since then starting in the prelim against the panthers just injury after injury after injury and with the depth being stripped over the last two years we just have run out of stock in every position, in every intangible.

It wouldn't matter whether Paps was still out there considering we're playing with no forwards. We're done.

Why is Jesse playing link man?
He's a prop. At the moment a prop who's making bugger all metres. He should be tucking the ball under his arm and making the hard yards, not slowly shuffling the ball sideways.
