Once again no urgency whatsoever from Meaney at FB.

Gee has been fair tonight…so far of course.

We have had enough ball to score more points.

Must do more with it

Game over. Just no urgency or cohesion when it matters.

We arent playing bad by any means. Souths are just better drilled than us, and latrell is playing appropriately to our pressure

Our last 5 minutes has been terrible.

Microcosm of the game there. We do nothing with the ball in Souths half.
Then Souths score off their first attacking set.

Off a Coates error, who has been very poor tonight. I’m a big fan but losing patience

Storm will do well to make bottom of the 8. That first part of the 2nd half was some of the worst play we’ve done in year

That offload not being collected, Coates dropping the kick, nothing in attack.

May as well plan for 2024. You can stick a fork in us for 2023.

Man I love Harry but his decision making and passing have been off and it just kills us.

No inventive play whatsoever as I type this. Grant virtually anonymous tonight. Their sliding defence is at times laughable. I wish I had something positive to say. I don’t.

Take the L. Move on to next week. The bye had our boys “playing” nothing football. We weren’t playing anywhere near well enough to benefit from a week off from the intensity and grind.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

Too many blokes out there who try hard, work hard, but are very bloody limited. If you're going to play that many defensive workhorses then you can't be conceding 5+ tries.

Yet on the other hand, we had a heap of ball and plenty of territory but did precisely nothing with it. I love Jahrome but has he made a single brilliant pass, run or kick for the entire season? Even one?

This is the worst of the losses…

How could they not get up for this coming off a bye?

More interesting team selections.

No Sims, Anderson on bench? Odd

What’s annoying is that at 6-12 the Souths were tiring. A burst out of the blocks and it would have been a different game

Warbrick tried hard and thought outside of the poor offload early and not collecting that NAS offload, Loiero was our best forward.

Hard to win games when you’re that bad inside the 20’s. The spine isn’t really clicking at all.

Coates is such a frustrating player to watch. Wish he was better.
