So it appears no one gives a $&@? any more.

Brisbane not going away ....this is going to be a scrap till the finish.

I have to say our kicking to position is easily the worst in the competition. Our decision making under pressure is worst in the competition. It's schoolboy stuff and it's happening across the entire squad, from our so called elite players down to our deadwood players. It's simply painful to watch and it's no wonder we have only won a handful of games.

Watching it at home and have to say no, regrets about not going, just deplorable. Lozza pretty much sums it up, shocking football all round. Arent Brisbane playing 5 debutants? stuff me

Players marking 30-35 out and trying to dish it off - saw that about 5 times. Just rubbish football. Players purposely dinking 3 metre underground kicks now(several times!), now Ive seen it all.

The only thing keeping me from turning it off is watching the likes of Miles, Dea and Arnott and enjoying when they occasionally do something that gives you faith they have the tools to develop. Couple of times the way Arnott delved in won the hardball and explodes out of the pack is very good to see. Rance is just a beast, batchelor looks to have settled into the backline well the past few weeks.

2 points up ...but if I were a betting man - I would back brisbane

[Lozza]

It's actually comical the way we immediately look to handpass no matter what the situation. Not creative harassing but tiny 1 metre ones. Lids on one occasion handpassed one metre to a teammate who was clearly covered. Even when we get in the clear we double back, no straight running and in addition we are slow as treacle.

We are fair dinkum pathetic.........we have many years ahead diwn the bottom

Possession football for little results. 

Handball happy. 

U- turns a plenty. 

Don't kick unless your going backwards 

Don't kick unless its a dinky chip sideways. 

Don't shephard. 

Allow easy rebound from our forward 50 by the opposition. 

And under no circumstances kick the ball to advantage. 

Awesome game plan. 

 

[Tigershark]

We are getting smashed out othe middle nd around the packs.......

[Tigershark]

Hackson back to his ball butchering best.......Cochin not far away

[mat073]

Ugly ugly football tigers....and not the Paul Roos premiership winning style of ugly football either.

This is making my eyes bleed.

[Lozza]

What the hell is wrong with a kick to the goal square, continual kicking to the pocket is driving me crazy. Surely it's more dangerous going to the top of the square. Jackson clearly will not kick to the goal square, had two opportunities and went pocket both times, just don't understand.

Hence why some have had enough and start calling for the coaches head. Clearly is a tactic

[tdy]

Concrete the bastard.

There has been a suggestion to build a multi storey car park over the Jolimont railyards for 20 years, why the heck not, straight in the car onto the freeways south east, west or north west.

[Lozza]

Hollow hollow win, like watching two drunks having a fight. Pathetic skills, poor positional play and slow as slow can be. If Hardwick takes anything out of this game other than the 4 points then he is clearly delusional.
