I didn't actually think Cartwright had a terrible game today

I agree. He wasn’t our best by any means but I thought that he was a bit hardly done by with that “knock on” and with regards to him knocking it on in goal, I think probably everybody else in that instance would have done the same thing. I still wouldn’t mind seeing him go to QCUP to work on his defence though. Shocking part of his game.

If I was Arrow or Hipgrave...I would be on the first bus out of this sh!t. We play like complete idiots sometimes. I hoped Garth would be the breath of fresh air we needed, but it looks like the same sh!t.

Really?? New coach and half the squad new. I'm not making excuses, but if you thought we were making the 8 this year you're delusional. I hate losing as much as the next bloke, but this year was always going to be tough.

I prefer to take the positives as we progress throughout the year. Arrow is knocking on the door as an origin player. Hipgrave is nuts and what we have needed for a long time. AJ is really finding his feet and looks like he will be there for a long time. Next year we have Boyd coming who is only 26 and has played for Kangaroos and Peachey is on fire at the moment.

Not all doom and gloom mate.

I do with agree with you on 1 thing though. go the mighty maroons.

The score line should have been a lot tighter than that. The obstruction call on the don try did some real damage to the team. So did sin binning Taylor, thought in no way was it warranted. Having said that, our ball handling was woeful. We deserved to lose going on that second half performance, just not by that much.
 
I don't know what was said at half time but it didn't work. That was a very ordinary second half and our blokes are not mentally tough enough to put 80 minutes together. The defence up through the middle in the second half was embarrassing and that's where we lost the game.
 
The first half I thought showed the potential Brennan has, a smart game plan executed effectively. The second half left me speechless...im not sure what to think at the moment.
 
Just watched the exact same play in the bunnies game. Player catching it on the inside of a lead runner. Decision? Try

Saw Adam Reynolds run behind his player then back the other way (Sheppard) ref called a try and said to the video ref check it but I don't think any player was impeded...he was about 2m from the defenders. It's a joke mate

As i said above it was a disgraceful call but let's not consider it cost us the game. Sure it could have but our second half was pathetic.
 
I was at the game with the other three supporters in the crowd. Completely lost all momentum with Koni stuffs ups, and Bryces poor defensive reads (he did have better attack though).

2nd half our defense never moved up off the line, just kept going backwards....our whole momentum changed.

I do think Don, Proctor & Hurrell are all passed there used by dates, hope we have a gun winger for 2019.

Saw Garth after the game outside the stadium and he looked absolutely shattered/dissapointed. We should have won that game after half time, however not surprised.
 
Unpopular opinion but as much as I love Hipgrave and his enthusiasm and passion, he needs to bloody tone it down. Suspended in his first 2 NRL games and he'll likely be gone again for the high tackle on Teddy this week.

Overall a bad loss and I was hopeful after the first half but the Roosters are a quality side when they are on (in the second half), and sadly we were close to being at our worst after half time. Still a lot of work to do and a lot of improvement but can't expect miracles in the first season of a new coach.

Also in other news, Carty is absolutely cooked. He has to be dropped no excuses. And Garth better not try to justify it and back him up like the Munster "tackle" attempt. Wouldn't be surprised if Cartwright doesn't see out his 4 year contract.
 
The second half was foul ... the same old crap dished-up but the first half was a cracker so I want to just dwell on that. The team played as a team and I was convinced that we would hold our own. Now we have to build on that.
 
Cartwright will never get dropped. Cause if we held our breath , waiting for it to happen , there would be a lot of dead Titans Supporters
