I say make him be our kicker next week. Hopefully he will make a few then suddenly find his groove again.

While it was a poor play it's wasted breath trying to blame individuals
Letting 14 points in the first quarter is where the game was lost.
The final 68 mins of the game was won by us 18 - 8 which is a much fairer reflection of the game.
Some of the arm grabbing I witnessed to start the game would not be acceptable from any league team at any level - it was amateur.
What I'd like to know is how much extra time the players put in over and above their required weekly training sessions working on the weaknesses in their games? For example how much of their own time do they put into practicing catching high kicks? How much of their own time is put into practicing tactical kicks, FG's conversions bombs etc. Or is it that I'm getting a pay cheque so I'm happy to settle at being mediocre? Surly they understand that the better you get the more you earn? More importantly how do you face your family, friends and fans after making the same rank amateur cock-ups week in and week out?
There's really no point bagging CHT, he is literally our 3rd choice half and is doing the best he can, he is very limited skill set wise and is just there to plug a hole, without the massive amount of injuries we have he would ideally not be anywhere near the team.
I don't see this team getting any better next year, last year our success was built around SJ, Tohu and AFB, with them likely all gone we are really staring down the barrel.
I am not sure why after a couple good games everyone thought TMM was all of a sudden this gun half, if he is our 7 next year we in big trouble.

You have your controversial moments Mr White but this is on the money.
These guys are all ready now.
Webby us not getting the mix right.
Erring on the side of caution.
Ale should start at 13 for 20 min then you bring Walker on.
Niukore clearly showed last night that he is a middle now not an edge.
I love the attitude of Jazz, Ford, Montoya, Afoa and Pompey. And they are all handy first graders. But the new breed are better and should be played.
Ali, MGT added to your list Frank.
I’ve checked the ladder.
They’ve done it!!
we’re now in the 4.
The bottoms 4?!!!

Another little quirk that's been pretty persistent this season is the token, backup 4th bench spot that we hardly if ever use, even in the face of adversity. By half time we were down to 15 "fit" players… we have 2 guys who are backing up from Origin 2 days prior, we're down to a 2 man bench but effectively playing with a 1 man bench, Lussick gets 6 minutes to cover someone.
I don't get it. Does the coaching staff love adversity? I can understand if your team is firing and demolishing teams, then yeah 4th spot may not need to be out there, but our guys are clearly fatigued, falling off tackles. Is it an aim to establish resilience for the future DNA?

Its not a bad thing for CHT to own the pain of his performance. It is a massive opportunity to grow character and resilience. The other opportunity he has is goal kicking practice
I am reminded of the 2007 rugby world cup when we lost to France. Richie McCaw spoke about how he stayed on the field after the loss. He soaked it in and said he was taking his medicine. Then he went about figuring out how to be better in such situations. They won lots after that. Chin up CHT.

Mal Meninga used to toe hack and his accuracy was crap. And it's not what my enduring memories of him are. Even though we lost and CHT's kicks could have changed that, my enduring memories of him are still a scorpion kick and a man bun so yeah he'll be right

No it's a fatal flaw
Their left wing will be doing extra catching practice this week then
Watched the game in the beginning everything seemed to be ok, the boys played as though they were fatigued. still had the faith that maybe we would take it to golden point, however not to be. I understand everyone is down and sad, but we didn't sign up to be happy as Larry, if winning a premiership was easy then everyone would be winning one, instead we signed up to be fans and supporters of the wahz rugby league club in the nrl comp. so losses come with the territory. I'm here for the wins, as tmm said the other day flush it, so that's what I'm starting to do now any losses flush it down the dunny and revel in all the good korero on social media only about the wins. why are we loosing? my 2 cents its simple, we just don't have the right cattle (players) in our current squad, we need more speed (as ash says "speed kills")and also need xfactor players like halasiama etc. anyway family its all good, we wahz supporters for life
Wish our wingers did

If SJ is fit enough and the team morale is ok then it's a great move
