And which genius decided it would be a good idea for Wade to carry a calf injury into the game ?

Its one injury you do not take a risk with.

I certainly don't mind Flanno blowing up about the penalty. Most of the other NRL coaches use this ploy to garner a few on-field concessions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought he was carrying an ankle injury into the game. The calf injury was unrelated.

Our opposition had 43% possession, made 15 errors, conceded 8 penalties, completed at 65%, had a player sinbinned AND we still lose. We are ****. Simple. Storm would have put 150 on the roosters last night (albeit us too) - The writing is on the wall, we are so far off the pace it isn't funny. Let's be grateful we are somehow finishing in the 8 and playing a finals game. I hope the boys take a really good hard look at themselves and decide what hey want to do for the rest of the year. Continue to play this garbage brand of footy or give it one last crack. I think the former. The team looks defeated, slow, unfit, dumb, arrogant and just downright idiotic. Last night was the final nail in the coffin, we do this every year. We get our selves in a decent position, give ourselves a shot at top 4 and play our worst game of the year. Good work sharks nice title defence, thank god we won it last year as our window has closed.

Hard to disagree with this, Sharkyle.
At least, I hope that win or lose, they show some pride in September. Something that's been missing all year.
2016 truly was a miracle.

Last year Flanno did the same
FLOGGED US AT TRAINING, 4 weeks or so before finals ,, why ?
So come grand final we could play ALL the way to the 81st minute .
Lucky he did that or we'd all be suicidal .
Not over yet , but YES we now need to turn it around and aim up up BIG time .

There's a huge difference between last year and this year. Why flog us to prepare for a grand final that we aren't going to make?

Bit negative mate but unfortunately I think you're right.

We are way behind the top teams and we'll even struggle against the teams in the bottom 8.

Anyone who thinks we're going to Newcastle next game to get two easy points is kidding themselves.

Yeah it's time we start thinking negative to be honest. There is nothing positive left in our season. People keep saying we can flick the switch.. what switch? There is no switch.

Not over yet. A good finals run could be just around the corner- as much as this year cannot be compared to last year, remember the suicidal thoughts on here this time last year? We were playing just as garbage. Then bang bang bang into the Grandy. I still have hope. Just not confidence.

The difference is last year we showed good form throughout the year, it's been very, very rare this year.

Not gonna happen. Week 2 of the finals is the absolute furthest we will get this year.
