3x errors out of yardage and poorly managed good-ball possession in the final 10 cost us. As soon as we got ahead by 6 we stopped playing football and started trying not to lose.

Yeah, This is where I actually question our juniors and all the talk about it if I'm being honest... Is it a few years away?
The guys stepping up aren't exactly showing they're up to NRL level.. Obviously we need more time to judge but we can't compare ouurselves to Panthers or anyone when we can barely make 12th right now...
We don't seem to be to far off but at the same time we are...Last edited by Cowabunga; 16-07-23 at 08:13 PM.

We aren’t a good team and will never get a call these 2 things go hand in hand. I’m still watching us I’m just struggling to gives ****. If it’s not the effort costing us it’s the NRL and it’s joke of an officiating and I’m sorry the bunker needs to go, week after week I’ve never seen a system get so much so wrong.

Anyone else losing a little patience with Boyd in these last few weeks? Does some really dumb stuff at crucial times in the game.

It’s not just about missing a field goal, its the game management. Why are we constantly going right when theres absolutely no threats out there?Why are we going for a field goal on the 3rd tackle when everyone watching knows Tanah’s gonna miss? Why are you PUNTING IT TO THE CORNER WITH 1:30 LEFT?? We will never win anything with him steering the ship, I don’t care how young or inexperienced he is Originally Posted by The Birdman

I've been on record saying he's inspirational in his actions but he's not a leader/captain. Originally Posted by RavShamrock

I'm just over being told we've got the best juniors system compared to Panthers, Broncos, Parra or anyone like McCormick said... They've got guys coming into their teams doing a job where as we in reality don't really yet... At what point real results? Originally Posted by Hail Sezer

We have Campbell, Lofi, Kelly, Sami, Mo, AJ, Isaak F(?), Kini who is largely unproven at this level. Boyd came from Brisbane, Foran from Manly, both hookers poached. We seem to bring through backs but lacking everywhere else apart from Mo. Originally Posted by Cowabunga

The two points you make have no real relevance to each other mate. Have a think about why we’re losing games (in your view). Then have a think about what you’re asking about junior systems. You could graduate 10 kids to NRL a year it doesn’t guarantee you anything. Are you asking where our NRL ready middles are? Originally Posted by Cowabunga

Didn't watch the game. Looked at the score. We aren't being blown away in the last few games. We just don't know how to win.

Yeah I agree, I'm not asking for kids straight out of NRL and I have been one of the only people here saying Haas has done well for his job asked but he's not up to it yet. I'm not talking about juniors at all.
I know it's the stars who come through and wondering who these juniors are for us...
Jojo is sitting on the bench most of the time, JC can't get on the field, Haas isn't liked around here, Lofi has his ups and downs, Toby is gone, Alick doesn't look like getting re-signed, Francis????...Iszac has been great. Weaver needs more time. Kinis ready but where do you put him?
Our juniors are working but I think there needs to be brakes on how much people are pumping it when other junior systems are real good to, Didn't mean to target it at ours...
At some point the juniors need to start coming through and I think they'll be great.Last edited by Cowabunga; 16-07-23 at 08:44 PM.

Yep I know and this is the foundation to our high footy daftness. Originally Posted by The Birdman

The answer is paramount on how Sorry should look at the equation and I'm guessing he may not be confident in following Hurricane's wisdom.
