Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks @ Kayo

It's late in the game but it's been happening all game. Just no line speed at all. Just standing still and allowing the Sharks ball runner to come to them.

Heads need to roll for this. Molo should be dropped and Flegler relegated to the bench. Averillo, Fuller and Naufahu will all be dropped though Fuller wasn't our worst. He might keep a spot on the bench. And halfback. What are we going to do about that?

Well, what can we say?
  • No premiership this year. To lose like that to not one of the better teams.
  • If Woolf isn't under pressure, he should be. That was simply unacceptable.
  • A few senior players like JMK, Molo, Flegler, Lemuelu should be given a baking by Woolf.
Obviously there were no standouts. I'd just say Fuller, Donoghue and Isaako weren't as bad as the rest.

its all mentality we got get out of our heads we need guys that missing we proved last season we cab bounce back don't see any ones under pressure just need work harder on the d ( those qld cup players look so avergae on d thats why i allwats skeptical guys from junior sides with poor d on nrl sides
 
Are we thinking Woolf should be looking at getting sacked? Have to see how the rest of the season goes but in my view, to make the 8 but go out in the first week of the finals would be a huge failure for this team. To not make the 8 is sacked the first Tuesday after the last game.

What can one say about that decrepit display? Not even in my worst alcohol or medication induced nightmares that a record breaking loss to shitty Cronulla would even be possible against a team who had won 8 of 9 going in.

The forwards were woeful. Flegs is only a shadow of the player he once was. JMK looked really slow today. The halves are irrelevant without Katoa and he can't come back soon enough.

The return of a few players next week will help, but a performance like today's is going to play mind games with a few. Touted as premiership contenders a fortnight ago has turned into a fight just to make the playoffs. Suddenly the 3 wins required seems like a mountain to climb. A massive fall from grace today and a huge reality check. Plath's possible long term injury is a further kick in the ass. It'll be interesting to see if they can climb out of this. Tough times ahead.

It's the coaches job to ensure the team is mentally prepared.

I commented at around the middle of the second half, it looked they had simply stopped trying. The scoreboard suggests that. I'd like to know what's going on. Has the coach lost the dressing shed?
 
Next weeks team, I'd go, with Plath almost certainly unavailable:
  1. Hammer
  2. Isaako
  3. Bostock
  4. Herbie
  5. Cobbo
  6. Kodi
  7. Donoghue
  8. Gilbert
  9. JMK
  10. Kaufusi
  11. Lemuelu
  12. Finefeuiaki
  13. Stone

  14. Knowles
  15. Su'a
  16. Flegler
  17. Fineanganofo

  18. Schneider
  19. Pouniu
So Molo is dropped. Others making way for the Origin players rested today.
