Can we blame the heat??

[Guest]

Do you guys think we can blame the heat for tonights thrashing & just pretend it never happened and move on...i think we can it is only rd7,,,i don't think it would of shattered any confidence out of the team, i guess they just couldn't adapt to the heat...

Atleast now we have a super rest untill the Anzac test and come out pumped...

GO U CHOOKIS!!!

No we cant blame heat we where down 28 nil after 28 it they cant be fit enuff to play in that heat for 28 mins they arnt FG worthy, The heat may have taken toll in second half but game was over by then.

Let forget this game as fans the player need to think of this because need to work out what happend.

Not the heat and not the refs...

We had 2 days to acclimatize they had 5 days they come from the tropics we dont and we play them in Darwin DAH somebody needs a fare kick in the arse for that really what chance did we have to win it

RL is a winter sport .... this game should have been played in July or August. Not April, the NRL should know what the heat is like at this time of year. It's bad enough here in CQ.

Alex i understand abit of what your saying but the players looked tired before the game even started let alone the first 28mins,,think about it they were up there for three days sweating it out their bodies would have been worn out and muscle fatigue,,,,if footy players could play in the heat then the season would start in december throw summer..i still blame 90% of the loss to the heat🔥🔥🔥

Ours aren't good enough, they melted in the top end.

I blame everything about taking the game to Darwin which also includes the heat. It's easy to blame the players from your armchair with a can or two.

The Cowboys live in this weather. Why not take the Storm, Warriors or even Canberra. Dumb dumb idea.

It's fairly simple. Its the PPPPP principle or the 5 Ps. Therefore the biggest fault lay with the coach.

Preparation Prevents a Piss Poor Performance

It's been really hot in Melbourne all weekend too. Blame global warming.

Yer it was the heat the refs & Carney's fault.

Of course we can't blame the heat. In my opinion, performances like that are really the result of very bad coaching and a very poor attitude at the club which almost everyone contributes to, to some degree. Simply put, that scoreline and that amount of effort should not be acceptable. Unfortunately, Smith doesn't seem to mind results like this.

What a load of shit.

If the coach has any responsibility it was going with the wrong blokes, should've used Mortein and Mitchell cos of the heat.

Our captain has to shoulder a lot of the blame, he was MIA for the whole game basically.

The Cowplods played a great game. They hardly made an error early, dominated possession like nothing I've seen for a while and never let us in the game. They were just too good.

Blokes like Maubs, MK, Pearce, SKiD, Pezz and JWH who usually are among our best had bazzas.

Friend is badly out of form. And gone are the days when Mini can dominate anything.

And add two debutantes for the club, who weren't our worst, but were unlucky to play on a night like that. Ironic youse all have been calling for their inclusion and that's what ends up happening. And how ironic Carntey has missed the Melba and Cowplods whackings.

Sure it was hot, but they had to play in the same conditions.

It's just one of those things we will have to deal with this season. Until we offload Bwaiff we will see more of these form reversals, he's always been involved with this shit at our club.

Fark me some of youse are drama queens. Cement swallow gheylords.
