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.

Most people think Lamb is letting us down. There is no place for him in the team right now. I hope Brown thinks the same.

Come off billy, our d has been **** all year mate. Manly game was a fluke, canberra sucks and broncos blew 3 tries and should have won they are also terrible.

Lamb and Sione have to go... no more first grade at all.

We are not going ok... 3/6 is flattering really... look at the broncos they should be 0/5... we are slightly better than them.

Need another 5 players i would say in 2019... so far we have 1...

Our D up the middle is solid, our D on the edges, especially Sione's edge is horrible. Has been horrible for the past god knows how long and will continue to be horrible until they learn to slide together, stay with eachother in D and don't break the line. If they can still break through ala Ponga to Fitz when there is no overlap, then stand and applaud. But our line is swiss cheese out wide generally when the ball is spread. The good defensive teams don't have muppets racing out of the line trying to shut plays down by themselves, they hold the line, slide as one and run the attackers out of room.

Exactly this... only reason to rush up is when you know you are shot and you have to make the tackle...

This has been an issue for years only way to fix it is to find players that listen and learn...

We need more signings asap...

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.

Roopy aside from Fitz, Safitis and possibly Ross our locals are park players mate.

Sione cost us atleast 18 points he is embarrassing his Matt Utai minus the brains.

What was the go with Dsaf tonight ? Injured ?

We had no ball when he and Lillyman were on

All of you, tomorrow, go back and read this thread from kick off, you will not as true and genuine supporters be happy with yourself.
The hate for Lamb is uncalled for especially based on last years form, sure he is not good this year but we need our spine to work for each other, he can't be a star and now the villain it is more likely the way the team is playing.
Sione, sure he is not going well but that whole side isn't, he gives it his all and who will replace him.
The bottom line is we were gone with that first mistake that cost the try and never recovered due to our props DanS and Lillyman badly letting us down, there worst games this year, never in it after that, bounce of the ball, penalties, 20mins gonskie.

Before the year started we were all calling for at least 1 or 2 big bad forwards and a centre or two and claiming 3 out of 8 would be OK due to draw. We didn't get our preferred forwards or centres. We have 3 out of 8 even if we loose the next couple so it ain't all bad. Talk of Lamb being chased by clubs had us wanting him to stay but now want to toss him with no obvious replacement. Are we all a bit highly strung for this supporter gig.

Jeez I'm so sick of coming on here after a loss and listening to so many of you whinge like little *****es and then carry on about us not deserving our wins either .
We have a new and young team 6 games into the season were better than we have been and we will keep getting better but these things take time so stop whinging and give the team a break .
Andrew Johns said that it would take Easts 1/2 the season to gel and you lot think our 9 new players and 1/2 a team of what were reserve graders up to last season should be there already FK me get with the program we are a work in progress that's going to take a fair while to get to where we want to be ...

As for the haters, and you know who you are, if you concentrated on any 2 or 3 players with the same venomous attitude you would find you have as much to write and complain about as you do now. We didn't loose because of two players we lost because overall we was out played, sure some of ours could have played better and the two picked on weren't the only ordinary players

I've only been a member of this forum for a couple of years and from day 1 I've found it amusing/annoying that after a loss people take offence to how others react to a performance. We're all different some have short fuses others are cooler. It's called passion and it effects us all differently.

Sitting up punting on obscure horse races in France lamenting what went wrong tonight or last night. So much confidence from last week particularly defensively which we didn’t see tonight.

As mentioned there’s nothing wrong with being 3-3 just disappointed the way the boys have wilted with each loss.
Just got a place at Lyon Parilly so not all hope is lost.

When a player is not up to task they will cop due criticism. Thanks to Sione we were atleast 18 points the worse off, and lamb is awful I won't even dress it up.

Without them two, the score line is more like 26-14 which is an accurate representation of the game, Ross is on heavy notice as well.

We didn't lose for sure, but they turned a well beaten game into a route.

It is impossible to defend Sione anymore, he cannot even get the basics of defence right after 50+ games of playing out wide, yet a kid like Ramien tears it up in 2 starts against quality opposition, he showed he can't pass tonight and his attack is laughable his to small to be a power runner and has zero agility. His rushes out of the line when he has all the speed of a fat 12 year old are just idiocy, reeks of the type of guy that doesn't listen to coaches.

For this reason it is clear Sione thank god will not be at the club next year.

Lambs role isn't hard, get the ball and run when he gets it or if he can put someone through a whole do it, kick if pearce is under pressure. All this crap about having to be first receiver is garbage, he is there to play a support role which requires basic playmaking and vision and it's beyond him. Love how people pay out Watson who managed to do this role without being sulky about not being the main man, with a dominant half you don't need a second play maker, you need a support player, and Lamb I believe is too sulky to do this(or to dumb).

Sione's a liability and constantly puts us on the backfoot with dumb defensive decisions and has NO punch in attack.
