Other than Chad being like the gates at the EKKA, we were unfortunately overmatched in our pack. Once the Roosters stop being themselves with errors they rightly ran over the top of us.

The HIA to Graham and the subsequent move of Rudolph to the edge proved the difference in the packs. Tolman hasn’t got enough punch. First game this year you could tell we missed Talakai and Hunt.

The half controls the team. He is the general. He leads by example. He just got owned by a 6th grader. Wake the **** Up

They all lead by example. You simply have nothing to offer except the easy, done to death bull**** of bashing Chad. You're a tool.

We lost the forward battle, plain and simple. Our forwards couldn't match it in the 2nd half. We needed more from Woods and BHU.

There was a poor attacking set prior, then a 6 again and then a penalty before Chad had a chance too. The Chad bashing is drawn out. It’s a let off to the rest of the team and a go-to for people that have nothing else to offer.


who cares about Chad bashing.
I personally want him to have consistent games, simple; there was two bad reads thats all and its unfortunate Chad didn't get there, straight up in front of the punters.

there were two poor defensive reads. maybe I could say jack williams or Brailey did it there on the line but I can't
thats all I'm saying- one bad read actually! got rolled on the other

end of the day - we altogether lost that, the team dropped off.
its hurts!

That’s ****ed, huh? 60-65 of dominance but still can’t get a result. Will be a good lesson tonight. I think everyone thought the game was over except the roosters

Faaaaark.... we really needed a win tonight, but i haven’t lost faith. I expect chad to cop the brunt because of his goal line defence, but this was lost in the forwards. We need talakai and hunt back, and i want fifita back on the bench. Throw in some magic johnson and sexy on the wing...

Oh ffs mate read the room. He is ****.
Your in the minority. Or are we all wrong?

I'm in the minority of being able to see that not every mistake, every play, every dropped ball or stupid decision in a game is his fault. Did he do some things stupid tonight? Yes he did. Kicking to Tupou all night was poor.

Are you saying the plays Chad made that lead to points are not of note? Or do you look passed that as that is a positive and only want to lean on the negative. You see, it is a team game. Is it Chad's fault that Ramien was stupid in his second in the tackle at the back end of the game? Was it Chad's fault alone when another player knocked it on?

The way you see the game is that everything his fault and in turn anything that leads to points from his play is not worth mention.

That’s a lot of strike power waiting in the wings. We were undermanned but so were the roosters. One of these sure would be nice to jag though so we didn’t have to hear the old “the boys tried hard” line.

Really really disappointed in that final 20. I thought we were the better side and tbh deserved that win. Once again our errors cost us and their tries all came off our errors.

I honestly don’t think we are in a position to mentally beat a top 8 side. We need some luck, some things to go our way especially with injuries, having 2-3 players injured every game is killing us

So he gives up 20 points but contributes 10. Maths ain’t your strong suit hey

Kicking to Tupou all night was obviously in the game plan, I'm not blaming Chad for that.

Pretty much. Tolman Seems to go for the quick PTB regardless of the situation.

In the end we got steamrolled through the middle

Geez Kennedy went close once or twice there when we where 14 up... in game Hia’s are proving costly thus far this year.
