Still too devastated and gutted to make any real comments this morning. The only thing I can possibly console myself with is that we probably wouldn’t have gone any further next week.

How was the train trip?
Click to expand...

That was probably the only thing that went our way that night. Got a lift to Sutherland and then took the train into Central. Got out intending to hit the Light Rail but some helpful transport staff suggested the bus would be quicker. Walked about 50 metres got on an almost empty bus and was at the stadium in about ten minutes. Short five minute walk to the Stadium. Found our seat easily, food and beer lines were ok and the price of food and drink was very reasonable.

And unfortunately then the game started…

It's not the first time it's happened this year, we're terrible when teams jam in/ rush up. No plan b.

We need to develop an attack up the middle to draw defenders in and then create space out wide. So that needs dummy half running and forwards off loading.

Exactly...a large part of a dummy half running is momentum and we had none against the Rabbits.

I think we had no momentum for two main reasons. Outside backs let us done with Kick return meters (Huge hole of Talaki) and Miller and Tracey got us no where.

Secondly impact of our big men. We need more grunt in the middle. Really missed royce but ultimately our forward pack is a touch on the small side.

We over achieved this year, didn't believe we'd go all the way, new team, new spine, new coach, including injuries. But the next two years we'll be genuine contenders 👍🏾 Fitzys first year and we finished second and in the finals, just gotta keep the same pack together, and this year will push us to go further. Break out season for Hynes at 7, might get Dally M for his first season full time in top grade at no.7 which he hasn't played since reserve grade at manly and first year head coach for Fitzy. Alot of good signs moving forward, Fitzy will be our signing of the year.

Agree with the first part - second point about keeping the pack together; not so sure. It could be argued, and backed up by our Player of the year poling, is that our halves are our ace in the hole - backed up by the 9.

Three quarters mediocre (hold there an against moser sides.

Our pack needs the work for mine.

BOOOOO. What a fresh hell that would be. Too many fair weather supporters in that mob.

I could not stomach those 1980’s 12 year olds, who started following league and simply siding with the most powerful side, coming back out of the woodwork as they did in 99.

Picture if you will hordes of middle aged blokes surging back from Homebush their 1980’s Hardies Parra tops dusted off & bursting at the seems; Lilly white powdery beer guts spilling out for the world to see…glorious.

Ughhh.

It's pretty much exactly the same where I am... Except with Penrith. I think that's why I can't stand them
