The thing is that the play went on for so long after the infringement that Austin was back in the defensive line trying to tackle other guys.

Yep always been a sore point for me. Call an obstruction for something that happened 40 metres from the point of the try, and 5 broken tackles.

Junior Paulo played 55 minutes, and made 10 tackles. That was the sort of game we just let them get away with.

Knew we'd lose this but not like that. Three of our last six games have been insipid.

So junior Paulo made ten tackles in 55 minutes. The biggest guy on the field. Terrible tactics not to run him around.

Nobody is playing to their potential in our team at the moment. Same **** happened this time last season. The difference is this time we can't afford the losses, we will miss top 4 (Especially that juicy 2nd/3rd spot)

Ahhh a good old fashion old school Cronulla implosion. Geez this took me back....
I'm not even mad, I kinda suspected they'd give us a touch up. Raiders were playing for their season and it showed, they deserved the big win tonight. Whereas our blokes, another complacent display by our blokes, been the story of our year, especially at home (I'm yet to attend a win this year). It's simply a premiership hangover folks, we're not hungry enough. Still. We're in the position to turn this around, but with a tough 2 week QLD road trip coming up, it's looking unlikely.

It's frustrating because you saw in the first 10 minutes what this team is capable of when they give a ****. You've seen against the Roosters, the Storm, the game in Canberra. When our guys want it enough, nobody can touch em. They gotta find that motivation and find it ****ing fast.

Obviously missing Jimmy hurts, but we had enough quality out there to give a better account of ourselves then that.

The fans deserve better.

On a positive note, this could very well be the wake up call we need.

We'll lift BIG time against Broncos .
Preying our players don't get suspended , that would make it harder .
Fat lady hasn't sung yet . If Boogs hadn't have spilled the pill with Papalli off , we easily could have won that game .

Even if we avoid players being suspended I'd like to see Taga and Captain America come onto the bench for Latimore and Heighno

If we come 5th, I hope the Dragons squeeze into 8th place (Cant see it happening though).
