Because they won't

44 points this week, 22 last week (the most conceded to Dogs all year), 32 both of the two weeks prior. We haven’t improved at all.
That isn't true, but we need to control the middle better than that.
Of course it’s true. Numbers don’t lie.
Numbers lie all the time, you are taking numbers from 2 weeks, we averaged 30 points against last year for the season.
Our attack was massively better tonight than it has been for a long time. We didn't control the middle which led to us back peddling and placing us under fatigue and we made poor errors due to this. We need to control the middle better than we did tonight.
I’m taking numbers from our previous 4 games, when everybody has been talking up improvement. Our attack definitely looked better tonight, but it’s irrelevant if we’re letting in 25+ points every game.
changes need to be made now so that next year isn’t another write off.

Just well and truly outplayed. They had all the go forward, field position and the grunt. We weren't given a chance. I don't think we played really poorly, just out played.
Great to see Laurie back and looked more dangerous than has all year. I like Brown at hooker. Nofa might not her his spot back. Can't wait for AD back!

There are issues around player fallouts at two NRL clubs as pressure builds over poor form in recent times. Players live in each other’s pockets for 10 months of the year and this is not uncommon. However, a five-eighth and a hooker at one club are barely on speaking terms. At another club, a halfback and a winger don’t get on – and it’s the talk of the team. We will keep you posted.

Looks like Hastings and Nofo ?
Douhie doesn't strike me as the type of personality Hastings would gel with at 6 but wait and see i guess

With the chairman’s obsession with Nofoaluma this could get ugly.

I don’t think Hastings body language has been crash hot the last two games either.
I’m not sure he’ll hand around to see his reputation rinsed by the bludgers around him.

Did you see him talking to the players pregame in the sheds? Looked pretty committed and everyone was focused on him.

Yes I did and that was great but the longer the game went on the more frustrated he looked as those around him threw in the towel.
I’m with @mike tonight.
Yes we were rolled in the middle. The south’s pack will always do this when they get plentiful ball and get in the front door. Their packs’ size and mobility and zip from dummy half makes it very hard to wrestle back momentum once they get a toll on.
We capitulated through fatigue at the back end.
BUT, one significant reason they were able to do this was due to them getting the 50/50’s. most significantly the knock on from the ruck that was missed, eventuating in south’s attacking our line rather than defending their line. This obvious blunder was inexcusable and totally changed the momentum of the game.
And it happens all the time.
We couldn’t react to that momentum swing and we never came back. Sure we should’ve better BUT we shouldn’t have had to deal with that situation in the first place.
