smoke and mirrors

im not reading anything out of last nites games we didnt turn up souffs were only as good as we let them be we could of played the dogs last nite and they would of put 30+ on us im not prepared to say souffs were gr8 score line is not reflective to our season when we played at 20% this result might be worse on the duumb as souffs supporters given them a false sense of security any team can be knocked down by a sucker punch but at champion team wont be knocked out for the count i have full confidence this wont be repeated they will go hard in the finals

Yeah well bingo! Souffs lost to the fukking Doggies last week and then everybody's acting as though one good game against us (where we have rested everybody for 2-3 days then rested 4 key players) means they're amazing.

Congrats to Souffs... a win for the history books and they now get a home final. However, I get the sense we've got more to offer during the finals than they do.

[Maxy Walker]

Absolutely. That game was like a champion racehorse losing a meaningless lead up race then they come out and smash it in the big race when the money is on.

Lost this same game to Souths last year then put them 30 on them the following week in the finals. Expect the same turnaround next week.

Yes there was not a lot to play for last night but PRIDE. We were looking to next week. Disgrace to have 60 put on us no matter who the opposition or what the situation.

It was a close loss last year.

I definitely don't want to be giving any ammunition but something tells me that team harmony is not all that well. I mean, in comes SBW and potentially one of our week to week performers may be forced to sit out and lose a spot on our 17 man roster to SBW who's been out of the game a while. I am sure someone has kicked stones about it.

There will be a big honest session today at Bondi.

Sure. This year the score got away from us mainly because of the makeshift right edge that will be back to normal next week. No need to stress.

[Johnny Tobin]

I still Trust in Trent 100%. He prepares them to peak on GF day. He wouldn’t have expected this blow out but the loss close to the finals is a roosters tradition. The score line is even more motivation. I am not phased by that loss now. Much more concerned about Friend.

[chopstiks]

I wasn't expecting the win, backed the Titans, couldn't go the double by tipping vermin so a mate did instead and lets just say its his shout for a while.
Whats sickening and a suprise is the humiliating score. The first time I 'switched off' and got out the phone during a game.

Who wants to play the champions after a thrashing though. Even before last night Penrith want Eels and the rest. They don't know what they're getting with us. Maybe Ivan suddenly rests more blokes this afternoon.

As for Storm, they had there own training run v the Cows, eyebrows were raised about them then. Then they beat Benji's side, woo ppee Cam scores and it's all back on again. A weeks a long time in footy. Souths are premiership favourites today. The delusion lives on my friends. One of the best feelings I ever had in my life was Week 1 Finals last year when the smug faces all rock up dressed head to toe in their dirty Freddy Kruger gear and we blew them off our park. They scurried like rats fleeing a sinking ship. Glorious stuff.

Ironic because Joey is not the best defender. Then again his defense always seems to come good semi-final time. Must be an attitude thing.

You just keep telling yourself you are not phased. I know you are pissed and very upset about this loss and it's going to be a painstakingly long week for us to avenge this loss and get over it.

He has the combination with bmoz, that’s the main thing that was missing. Aubo and Ikavalu were all at sea together last night and often neither was tackling anyone out of confusion particularly in the flurry of tries at the end.

It might alarm sone but Maubs defence has been average at best this year. Not the old Maubs unfortunately.

Manu's defence and attack are far superior. Ditto for Bmoz and Ima.

So the guy that wasn't good enough to make the squad in the first place (until Radley got hurt) is now upset because somebody else is taking his spot and that's upset the whole squad? They didn't look too upset when they won their previous 5

Highly doubt that would be the case mate. Stone kickers aren't welcome in a squad run by Robbo.
