Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

Agree, it’s not losing that burns it’s the way they keep throwing games. Seriously how many people could feel a 2nd half capitulation coming before they even ran back on the field. We get run down so often it’s beyond predictable. It’s almost a surprise when we don’t. The players seem unaffected and the coach forgiving. Not a great time to rebuild but something got to change

I can't watch these post match press conferences....imagine Bellamy if the shocking Newcastle minus ANY front rowers ran over Storm like that ...would be frothing like a rabid dog and rightfully so.
If Seibold is ANYTHING like his press conference in the dressing shed, no wonder the players show no backbone and desperation when the going gets tough, folding like a cheap deck chair.....it's like they are still given a smile and handed the "participation" award like the kid who runs 112th at the school carnival.
Tooves defended his team when they deserved it from shocking calls and "investigations", but he never held back about lack of effort and poor performances...it's called accountability and anyone who chases success in any field in this world, requires this as a non negotiable to become the Best they can be...

Check out Payten giving the Cows a spray at halftime against the storm. Unfortunately, I just don’t think Seibs has a spray in him. To give players a rocket would be an indictment of his “mr positive” coaching philosophy ie an admission of failure. That’s why all losses come with 1. At least one excuse and 2. Reference to positives, real or imagined.

How did that work out for him!
and Flano is another noted tough guy coach, but they just got 50 put on them!!

Wow, 2 whole examples. I concede. A spray from the coach never works. Best stick to excuses + positives. That seems to work.

Yeh the "free throw at the stumps"
Because we were missing 3 players, meanwhile the opposition is missing 7
Or
"I'm really proud of the boys efforts today"
After giving up a 38 point lead
Or
"We were really up against it today, but pleased we hung in there"
After a slow motion performance
