Before someone thinks this is an overreaction to the post Titans game

Couldn't get excited at all before the game , watched the game expecting things to go wrong 

Our defence has improved and that is good  .......but I'm just underwhelmed more than ever

I even starting to believe we are getting the rough end of the pineapple as far as refs go almost every week 

Am I the only supporter in this boat ....?

Nope, I’m exactly the same. I’ve gone from anger to apathy.

I 100 percent felt broken last night after the game but you’ve just got to roll with the punches. What other choice is there?

Same here. It’s not the results that irk me, it’s the administration. The lack of attention to detail, the excuses and the lack of accountability.

Yep. Just expecting a loss each week. Not watching much during the week. Not upset when I don’t see other games - which is strange for me.

I felt the same before the season started and watching the Melbourne game just confirmed that this season would be the same as the last few. We will play well in patches and then ordinary for most of the time. I’m still waiting for some change.

If I saw something to get excited about it would be different, in particular if there was a group of talented youngsters getting a go and learning the ropes. Let’s face it, watching Nofa, Ken, Musgrove and Twal (no disrespect) perform at a certain level over and over again for little return gets pretty tired.

Yep I’m downcast and I don’t know why?

I predicted we would have a poor season (Without checking I think I voted we would come 14th) before the season started.

I think the last 2 games have done my head in, both should have been won but lost both instead. Against 2 teams playing poorly!

We are a rabble and a laughing stock. Each week the media can’t stop ridiculing us. We are the butt of all jokes.

Ok I can understand everyone’s pain and for some it’s bordering on anger.It’s incessant and really hard to swallow,especially the manner in which we lost after the ball shaves off the post.So dispiriting!But for all that,and you can call me delusional,I don’t believe we are that bad,and manifestly pathetic as many are claiming.

I listened to the post game podcast and all the boys were rightly gutted,and as Declan has stated,we just have to roll with the punches.I reckon he’s right.It is not a top 4 roster.

Applying a little perspective here,and considering the injury list I still maintain this side has something to offer,especially when AD returns.We’re in deficit atm,but in defence of the team we haven’t crumbled and thrown in the towel.I’ll even be so crass as to say that we just have to follow the process.I saw good things in that game.In Stefano’s absence,Musgrove stands up.Luke Garner is a valuable player to our squad.Jimmy the Jet was inspiring and is coming back to his best.I believe there is room for a little optimism and that it’s not all doom and gloom.

I think if we lose our next 3 or 4 games that might do me, at least for the season. Zero enjoyment out of watching them.

Great post!

I agree. I'm still optimistic.

We do have our best players out atm - but are defending well and playing with effort. 

If we were getting flogged and giving up every game I'd be upset.  But atm the boys are putting in, some of the goal line defense has been really good, much better than its been for years, which is a good indication of attitude and effort of the team.

Our attack socks because we are lacking some talent and smarts

Im actually starting to be a little optimistic. A good result would be not getting the spoon and up until today, I thought we were specials to get the spoon but now Im starting to think there is a chance we might not.

 

We have been poor, no question but for two of the four games we were actually the better team but couldnt get out of out way. I think those little things will start to click for us, plus as we know our best players are injured.

 

Watching other games this round, NQ, Brisbane, Titans are all likely for the bottom 4 with us.

I agree - I think Broncos, Cowboys, Titans, Warriors and us will be bottom 5.  We should have beaten Warriors and Titans and think we'll get them with an injury free roster. We probably should have beaten Storm but it wasn't something I was expecting. 

The issue will be entirely mental. If we get rolled badly the next few weeks - which is sadly quite likely -  the heads will start to drop and it will be hard to get them up for games. The best chance is players coming back from injury who will be busting to play and might offer some inspiration.
