What will be different next year?

Yawn. Go back to your tank.

I don’t like bagging refs and he wasn’t the reason we lost but awarding that 2nd try and then a drop goal that was metres wide was just a bit amateurish, hopefully having VRs at every game will help.

Also stopping play when we were pretty much nailed on to score from lisones break was shocking, can’t they only stop the play when a doctor is on?

The playing squad.

Bringing young players through doesn’t always mean throwing them in to a side that’s not playing well.

And they are never going to come through if you don’t trust them from time to time, if you keep waiting for the perfect time you can be waiting forever

As a one off game today, Playing a halfback at half would of at least give us a bit more structure and at very least a second kicking option, because our 9 doesn’t provide one

Next year is the big year for him, having a clear out doesn’t take a year. Especially with the squad he inherited.

I like Smith and want him to stay but if we start poorly next year he’ll be on borrowed time.

I think if he gets the half backs wrong it will cost him the job.

Who are these players coming in that will improve your squad?

That's me about done for this year, can't make any of the next three for various reasons.

If the attitude's the same next year it'll likely end the same way. To me the collective thought among the players seems to be that they're that good that a run of form must be just around the corner. Well boys, guess what?

Hopefully there's more focus on improvement than on blowing smoke up each others' ar5es. Confidence is all well and good as long as there's some substance underpinning it. And learn to control games, FFS!

I find Griffiths interpretation, perhaps even fundamental grasp, of the rules baffling. As for VR at every game, see Kendall's inept performance on Friday night at KR for what this may well look like.

Is the transfer window closed or something?
