Thought it would be good to make a discussion thread so we can dissect and reflect on the absolutely horror season of 2019. Was a year that started with a heap of promise but in the end there were little ups and way too many downs. Think we are glad that the season is over but here's my take:

Season Summaries
Position - 16th (hello second wooden spoon)
Wins - 4 (our worst ever)
Losses - 20 (again our worst)
Points for - 370 (our second worst season behind 2011)
Points against - 651 (our worst)


Key Stats
Most tries - Dale Copley (9)
Most tackles - Kevin Proctor (773)
Most points - Mick Gordon (62)
Most tackle breaks - Brian Kelly (88)
Most missed tackles - Brian Kelly (95)
Most errors - Brian Kelly (20)
Most penalties - Tyrone Peachey (23)
Most run metres - Jarrod Wallace (2905m)


My Top 3 Players
1. Mo Fotuaika - possible unpopular opinion but my player of the year. An absolute beast who definitely didn't suffer second year syndrome. Played 21 games and averaged 133m (most games were off the bench too!) and is still only 19. So glad we've re-signed him for a long time.

2. Jai Arrow - close to player of the year but missed a big chunk of the season and Mo was too good. A leader of the pack and hoping he sticks around for the rebuild and rise of the Titans in 2020.

3. Jarrod Wallace - again probably an unpopular opinion but he was one of the few players I could see that was trying his guts out week in and week out. Our highest metre eater with an average of 138m and even finished with the most chargedowns for the whole comp. Also cut down his crucial penalties and errors in 2019.


Favourite moments (tough one )
1. Phil Sami chasing down The Fox
2. Beating the Donkeys at Suncorp (seriously is there anything better?)
3. Beating the Panthers on home soil in round 5 - personal opinion as I was there live
Honourable mention - Garth Brennan being sacked



So those stats just about speak for themselves and show why season 2019 was definitely one to forget. A few promising moments and beautiful tries but our defence seemed to go backwards this year and our attack was so predictable and boring. Thankfully Brennan has been booted out the door - as nice of a bloke as he was and as much as he helped with our junior pathways, the whispers about shocking things he was doing and the team going backwards had to lead to his demise.

Sorry to ramble on but thought this would be a good thread for everyone to reflect. Cheers to all of the forum contributors for sticking around with the discussions in a tough year. Bring on season 2020 - the start of the Holbrook era
