I love Paps but his lack of durability is becoming a massive concern.

I think you might be. Just a little. :-D
The only winnable game based on current form is against NZ. Titans will aim up and get over us.
I'm glad you're not being dramatic.

King was amazing in the first part of the season. Did he not go for 200m in a game? He's really dropped off though. Wondering if he is carrying some injuries.

Edit - it was round 8 he ran for 212m

Penrith cowboys eels and broncos will destroy us threw the middle in the finals if the forwards continue like this. At this rate we will be out in straight sets, that’s assuming we even make the top 4.

I do not thing we will make the top four:
Rabbits (A)
Warriors (A)
Titians (H)
Panthers (A)
Broncos (A)
Rosters (H)
Eels (A)

Most of those are playing must better football at the moment and with the injuries we have, I can not see many wins coming. Our forwards are not doing much and every other team knows what we are going to do in attack because we have no variation on our game. If we can not beat the 11th place team at home, we do not have much chance in the finals.

Not sure of the negative Meaney comments. He was undone by a great bit of play by the Canberra winger. Apart from take him out and go for ten, possibly give a pen try he had limited options.

Big things in that game

First five mins - Paps should have put Olam under the posts
A little later - the no look pass is for exhibiton games only or when 50 up.
K Brom - bombed a try passing to winger when he should have gone himself
Hughes - from Munster kick through. Awful bounce, one of those things
Hughes - diving for line. He did lose it but it was knocked out by the Raider and it should have been a drop out.

4-5 chances / things that go out way on another day. Should have been enough to win today. Not convinced we will get so many opportunities against top 4 teams

I'm massively concerned. The fact we can't beat Canberra at home sucks.

After our start tot he season, this has all gone to shit.

I can only see 2, max 3 more wins

Not sure we make top 4

was a must win yesterday

sucks

Meaney has shown no urgency or awareness on their try and did it again on the one that was called back. Just can’t have that sort of effort if you want to play for this club. Not the only player whose efforts have been poor but those two examples really stood out.

I wouldn’t mistake his languid style for a lack of urgency.

He’s our best option at fB for the year. By a mile

To be fair, his main time out is due to;
1. An act of blatant thuggery which caused a serious concussion - could have happened to anyone.
2, A broken bone in a knee to knee clash. Just plain unfortunate.

It's a fit of a stretch to call him fragile.

A year out with an ACL. Did a knee and a hammy in the one game. He's fragile.
