    Calm the farm....our list is thin....we will rise again.
    Well said.

      OK. One. But other than that the game has been circle work. It is a slog. The umpiring is terrible. But what can you expect with Stevic umpiring.

      I like Warner. Stephens stays too. Riley has not really been sighted. But has played forward. I'd send him back. Wing or HB. Harry very ordinary again. His decision making is dreadful atm.

      Most of the backs have been good. But we do not have a forward set up. Again losing structure. We do that all the time and Longmire blames the players. But if it happens all the time it is the game plan. Flood, flood, flood.

        That is s joke of a free that resulted in the point out deserved.
        He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                What a load of crap, don’t use the Karen insult to claim some sort of moral superiority

                Some of us were here in the bad times of the 90s and don’t want to go back again.

                The club is squandering it’s strong position from the years of prosperity

                Poorly coached, under utilised list, tight salary cap, and financially vulnerable, and puzzling decisions like extending the coaches highly paid contract for no reason. Not a great combination and is cause for concern.

                It’s not about one game, this has been a slow car crash happening before our eyes for the last few seasons. Some of us are realists and can see what’s happening, others like you are just oblivious.

                      Our fwd line sucks, but man are our fwd 50s are absolutely woeful. Our defence has been an absolute highlight.

                      Hayward and Clarke are positives

                            Maybe stevic is going blind in his old age. Confusing yellow and black for yellow and brown. He found a lot of '50/50' calls against us, as per the norm.

                              I axtually think horse will be ok with today. Lost Kennedy early and lost by a goal and a bit in heavy conditions. This year is a development year. I'm trying to focus on the positives.

                                What does an 'underutilised' list even mean? If your going to mount an argument, drop the BT-esque crap and say what you really mean.
