I do feel for Lamb. He looks lost, which is not surprising as he is playing an unfamiliar role and opposition teams now know it and go after him.

I love Sione but he's not in our best 17 next year. I hope we can sign him as depth, on depth money, but he's not in our first team next year unfortunately. Great kid, great effort, but just no spot for him.
 
You guys have forgotten how to be supporters.
It's going to be a long year if you all tear the side to pieces when we have a loss and carry on like we've won the grandfinal every time we win.
Away loses against good sides, especially when you don't get the rub of the green, are what happens.
Spare yourself the anguish - when we lose - look forward to next week and forget about it.
 
Our left side is slick, feel sorry for Guerra and skd stuck on our clunky right side

Guerra still managed 100M + and over 40 tackles, can’t doubt his effort unfortunately he spends a fair amount of time second guessing and cover defending some of the others outside him. SKDy I’m not sure if I think he was running busted

Billy , I agree with your sentiments but you need to learn and develop off the experience win lose or draw
 
Every player needs to play their role, Lamb is not playing his...... Or is a he pot plant with a sulky look.

What Watson was getting bagged for was chiming in when he was needed, which is a cheeky run or a short ball, the odd kick on the 5th if Pearce is under pressure, yeah its a small role but when you have Pearce directing the team and Ponga playing a strong second fiddle its a great cog.

Lamb has a shortball and a running game but either can't use it or is to sulky to use it.

Lamb fits into the team, not the team fits around Lamb.

Put a fork in Lamb, Lamb is done.
I agree, he's done. But... he hasn't got any ball where he's has had the opportunities to use his skills. He's either a link man or receiving the ball 3 wide with the D already in his face. Watson admittedly only had 3 not full games at 5/8 but he didn't do anything there and missed tackles also. Stick Buhrer in there for the time being he'll get run over too like he did against Manly by Lane.

All the hate, loathing etc directed at our own players is the sort of thing people got used to doing when we couldn't win. It was pretty pathetic then, and now it must be exhausting for all the haters to be thinking of ways to talk down our side - especially when we are going OK really.
 
Defence in general was average.
I notice no one is talking about the try Pearce let in.

Pearce busted his arse all game, as he has for all of our games this year. I can't hang him for missing a tackle when he was waiting for Ross to commit.

I'm happy with the effort. We weren't bad at all tonight.

Robbo, no excuses, he has had his chances and didn’t capitalise on the opportunities - as a 5/8 he should’ve been looking for the ball in attack, when he did he just stifled opportunities .
It is unwritten law that RH edge will have the best attackers running at them as such if you can’t defend don’t get isolated by staying close to your inside protection, communicate intentions early and give support D opportunity to adjust accordingly

I was wondering how that was Ross's fault. It looked like a clear miss by Pearce, but he is not capable of mistakes, so in my heart, I always knew it was Ross who made him miss - he probably yelled at him to miss I reckon.

Billy - no hate here , I just call it as I see it , if we don’t strive to get better we will wallow I the bottom of the table for years to come .
This team has potential , it has definitely got the determination but to improve they need to use intelligence to learn from errors along the way
