Coaches should be able to talk. Wants the point of having a press conference if you can’t say what you want to

Agreed... If the ref has done no wrong what is there to worry about and the coach themselves is left with egg on his face. There is just absolutely zero accountability for these referees with Annesley's weekly shenanigans missing plenty and offering a pathetic apology for repetitive mistakes. I can put up with some poor calls but they literally change the game for us almost every week and we have to go in expecting the garbage. In saying that if Peachey gets a run next week that is me. Just so poor and looks lazy all the time.

We lost that game before the refs took us out of it. Gotta own that.

I agree with we can't blame the referees in whole because the defence was terrible, however, most of their possession in our end did come off soft penalties and 6 agains so I am happy to say they limited our chance. The fact Fogarty threw his hands up at the ref before he indicated it was our penalty down their end says it all really. He literally expected a bad call.
 
Forgaty tried his gut out today great captain's knock he been good for us
No good to complain about the ref as nothing will get done about until we are challenging for the finals
The Raiders had to stay in the top 4 somehow couldn't see a bottom team beating them today
Taylor watch out T Boyd is knocking on your door
Peachy should be on a plane as well to Sydney for any team that would take him
as soon as he came on we lost the game does it all the time
Jolliffe is my rookie of the year been strong for his 1st year
but again we are let down at dummy half
 
I never really expected a win today. Always knew we'd struggle without the experience in our forward pack of Arrow and like him or not, Proctor, and boy did it show. Stone and Whitbread are not NRL standard at all.
 
We saw some very good things today, such as: (1) Fogarty displaces Proctor immediately and never relinquishes the [C] after his name, (2) Boyd showed Titanic [and a few others] that he is worth his place, (3) AJ had another cracker of a game, (4) Jolliffe should become an honorary Coaster [arrange that please Bodsie], (5) Hipgrave deserves his spot no matter his occasional brainfarts [every team has one like him who the opposition try to avoid], (6) Thompson out jumps Don even though he's half his size and has twice the heart running it back, (7) MoFo although great again needs help, he's looking a tad jaded.

Then we saw the failures: (1) 'Softy' Wallace getting stripped was one instance, (2) Peachey's ability to give away the most stupid penalties while generally looking like he was miffed by not being captain, (3) Sami had a dig but I'm sure we can do a lot better, (4) agree with 101 that Stone and Whitbread are not NRL standard, (5) Peats is a shadow of his former self and seems to be carrying an injury.

May as well finish them all off with those who got marginal pass marks: (1) Kelly strong without being exceptional today, (2) Lisone held his own without setting the world on fire until it was too late, (3) Fermor needs to do far more ... and (4) the missing person award goes to Young T who was [dare I say it] missing, gone fishing.

Difita, Tino and Ese2 for Whitbread, Stone and Fermor (at this stage), find a hooker (one of the Smiths would do just fine and dandy) and get Crystal Copley on steroids (yes, I know we can probably do better but I was very disappointed with Young's effort today). I know that leaves Proctor out but them's the breaks. Funny how the Cokey incident has been forgotten.

Today was not a complete shambles. Apart from peachy just collecting his paycheck, the rest of the team had a crack. We got a good look at what our side without arrow and Proctor and we need Proctor around for another year in my opinion. Our defence fell apart in stages, due to inexperience mainly.
Fogarty needs to keep the captaincy and it needs to be his side. Boyd looked good and is quality replacement at the moment. I would love to see fogarty play like that behind our forward pack next year with Taylor firing as well. My only criticism of fogarty is that he needed to find the grass more on his long kicks. Very minor gripe.
Brimson is our best player by far. His positional play and support was outstanding today. He will absolutely love running off tino and fifita.
Last thing was the reffing. I am watching the tigers game now and it seems like a trend to me with the referees. That is, if you are in the bottom eight and especially bottom four, don't expect to get a 50/50 call at all. Sloppy pay from peachy but it wasn't a knock on. They just don't seem consistent. That is the problem.
One last thing, Broncos lost 36-8 to Canberra last week, so we are still out performing them. ( in my mind only)

I agree with Dools pretty much totally
One last thing re the referees and bunker
I’m not saying we should have won I’m saying it should have been a much closer contest with Canberra winning by about 6-10 points with a fair rub.

Great post mate. Totally agree with YT. We may as well sent out the Westpac chopper to look for him.
 
I was a bit harsh on Whitbread too. I keep forgetting that there's no QLD cup for any of these non-regular guys to really find their fitness in. Apologies.
 
Surely we have someone other than Peachy to sit on the bench. How can this muppet get picked every week.
Something dumb within two minutes of coming on every week for about six weeks now.
I see him come on , I sigh , and then a high tackle or a stupid penalty.
Please stop picking him in the side Garth.
Surely he could just go off for a haircut with TPJ, anything please.
