Wasn't deafening at far end of East where we were 'attacking' second half.

Talking of the East Stand, that's the fullest I've seen it for ages. I thought the crowd looked well over 2k so was surpised at 1,774. But thank god we're not in the Shield ...... Leigh got 2.6k and Fev 1.2k.

Might have been the ‘Referees a w@#&er’ chants, although I have heard much worse in Aus. TBF some of the lack of action on laying on at the tackle, late elbows knees and fists in the tackle and follow up roughing up probably warranted the chants. That type of stuff gets picked up pretty quickly in the NRL to stop it happening but the ref on Sunday seemed to miss it completely. He certainly didn’t bend to the pressure of the crowd, or the assistant refs! Not the reason we lost, but he was pretty average to say the least so maybe he was self indulging

Could see this result coming a mile off. Missed Grixy, Muzza tried hard but Johnno went missing again. Johnston really is the weak link for me. Jinky? More like headless chicken!

Very hard to perform in the amount of room available from their defence . I don't think Muzza faired much better than Johnno to be honest, his passing on attack wasn't too clever. Especially to Moss on the right hand side , a pass on the money may have unlocked them but not to be unfortunately . On to the next one now heads up .

WHat game was you watching. Johno played well and did nothing wrong. Muza was not at is best but we missed grix massively

Re: Toronto home : Wed Aug 15, 2018 12:28 pm  

difficult for either half back to get a grip on the game when we spilled so much ball and didn't build the pressure or force the repeat sets to maybe get TW creaking a bit. But Grix a big loss for us, you cant underestimate the impact he has on a game both his physicality but also the pivot role he plays freeing space up for the halves.

If you think Johno played well I don’t think you watched the same game as the rest of us. Don’t think he ran at the defence more than a couple of times and kept pushing the same ineffective plays time and again. He came across as very one dimensional once his pet plays didn’t work and didn’t seem to be able to adapt to the fast defence with anything which would worry Toronto. Maybe just a bad day at the office, but if not it shows how limited he is against better teams.

Spot on!!

It’s easy to be ‘Jinky’ when that is all you have got
