Who's doing the pregame? We're right behind Roos Frawley and Hudson and there's another guy who I can't see, possibly Jon Ralph

Where are you sitting ajdud? And what are you wearing?

Yeah just saw the "highlights" of the game and the post-match stuff.

You can't blame a coach for that type of performance, no matter the code. There's personnel issues there but you have to have a bit of pride in your performance as a player. They're all saying the right things this morning, but that's all well and good. Was a diabolical performance.

I agree to an extent - they are professional people and fronting up and giving a contest is non-negotiable - it shouldn't be the nominated aim each week.

That said, the prematch footage of Neeld getting stuck into the players, and trying to rev them up...he just does not resonate with the players. He doesn't have any gravitas, any authority if you will

Brad Scott has learned from last week!! Created more space in the forward line, so so much more noticeable already.

That was 90 minutes before the game though I believe.

Wells, more than any really good player in the league, fumbles and drops absolutes sitters far too regularly. Really annoying. Even **** like little hand passes, he often takes his eyes off the ball and turns it over. It's so annoying.
