We look like a team that is done for the season

[Chuck]

We will finish bottom 3. Book it. Considering the Eels form this is worse than last week's performance. We are not a team of grit or grind. We won't have a way to dig ourselves out of this hole.

Unfortunately the problems are far far deeper than simply sacking Barrett or dropping 1 or 2 players. I have grave concerns for this club. Especially if we nab our first spoon, then the relocation vultures will truly be circling.

Number of origin players we should have on form: 0

Having nobody play origin may be the only thing that keeps our season alive.

It's just bizarre & (to me) indicates there are far greater problems in the ranks than just DCE & Hastings falling out.

 

[Holmsey]

Apis origin chances are over as are Dalys, Jake and Tom should still make it easily, if you put these 2 in a good team they will dominate.

It has got to be DCE

What’s dce got to do with what happened with Darcy’s and Barrett.
It starts and ends with a coach who doesn’t understand the clubs culture.

A positive atm as we won’t have a full team to field by then

Api is overrated, gets tired and misses tackle after tackle. Has not earnt an origin spot. 11 missed tackles from him today, 11!!!! That's embarrassing. His only positive at the moment is his occasional good runs from dummy half.

All the best sides in the comp have a tough, stable number 9. We're missing a Matt Ballin type dummy half and have been for a while. Middle defence is so important, and when we have someone so slack in defence there then we'll consistently get exposed

It's embarrassing how much leeway the Turbos are given. FFS, Jake has turned in 3 shockers in a row. Lane has outperformed him in the last few weeks (even Paseka off the bench for limited minutes has shown more). Great players do not just turn up when everything is going your way. They grind it out during adversity and drag their team mates through it. The Turbos need to learn and develop the ability to perform against adversity. At the moment, they (and the team) are simply flat track bullies.

Season over before Anzac Day. Well done lads.

If they relocate to Brisbane I can verbally tear them a new one live. I'll feel better about myself then

WA. That's what will turn a profit. And funded by the NRL for ten years. It's a happening.

I'd prefer it to oblivion.
Which is Toddy's grand plan.
But even he fades into the background if we can't keep our own house in order.

If things don't change, time to blood our talented kids!! That is a no-brainer!!

Look I'm not a manly local so I don't know if I can comment on these things, but the fact is it's either gonna be us or the Sharks that end up there and the alternative for the club who doesn't jump first is as you said oblivion.

The sharks own their ground and stuff.
Don't think they'll have to go anywhere

There doesn’t seem to be any strategy to take the outfit forward other than to survive and find a way through the TPA saga.

Where are the indicators that they doing something, anything, to get the allocated money spent at Brookvale?

What, if anything, are they doing to grow the brand beyond the Northern Beaches?

Less Maori jerseys (who cares) and start ‘This is what is happening at Brookvale this off season, to strengthen our brand and the likelihood that we will remain here.’

Nice to have a few thousand supporters
across the Tasman liking our club. However they’re not the ‘Centre of Gravity’ for our long term survival as a team located on and representing Sydney’s Northern Beaches; with broader ambitions than the self-defeating pointlessness of ‘Nobody likes us...’ rubbish.

Well the NRL do need a 2nd team in NZ..... Are the Whykickamoocow Sea Eagles based in Christchurch?

Frankly, Jake and Api are the only forwards that tackle. The rest are pea hearted islanders that are too slow and lazy for first grade. They do fuk all defence in 2nd and 3rd efforts

It is no wonder Jakes game is down considering all the D he has to do.

Buy that Fitzgibbon kid from Newcastle- he is the future.

Ooooh that's a bit far for me to travel just for abuse
