Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 2756256, member: 8255"] This has been an issue for years IMO. We get called up immediately as we put them on the ground - especially Macca, listen to the refs every time Macca makes a freaking tackle, as soon as they hit the ground the refs are calling him off. Tonight there was one penalty against TPJ(?) that was ridiculously rough given the working over in the ruck we got from the Dogs. Simple fact is that we don't wrestle, everyone else pretty much does. It's blindingly obvious. And because we don't, when we do try and slow it down a bit we get pinged. Repeatedly, some games. It seems to me to have a huge impact also. But maybe it's my bronco-tinted glasses too. Wallace I believe was injured. I don't understand the Hunt hate, he put in that beautiful chip for Milf (which some have been screaming for), gained at least one repeat set (again which many have been screaming for) and had T-Rex running at him half the night. He wasn't that bad, but hey, BHQ needs a scapegoat right? Milf for mine was super quiet again. And the defence we had last year is gone. Yeah we had a few of players out and a few others backing up from origin but it was an issue long before that. I have to wonder if the stories about friction within the playing group are true. Because at the moment, this is NOT a team playing for each other and for the coach like they were last year. It's fucking depressing because we all know they're so much better than this, and if there's one thing that pisses me off as a fan is guys not putting in. I can cop if we give it our all and lose to a better team. I can't cop losing to a team we should beat. Tonight was always going to be tough up against that size with so many young forwards and tired origin bods. But IMO that simply wasn't good enough. I hope Bennett either gives them a rocket or whatever else they need because I see no result but a Storm slaughter next week. 30+ I'm sick of origin impacting us. I've given it some thought lately, and what other sport would allow a few games which have no bearing on the premiership to impact negatively on a handful of teams for a full quarter of the season??? It's absolute bullshit. Origin needs to be a standalone month, with no club games during that period. 2 weeks leadup, then a week between the 3 games. This middle-of-the-season bullshit has got to stop. Suspensions gained in clubland should be served in clubland, and those in rep games in rep games. Yeah I'm a bit more passionate about it this year because Origin has really fucked us more than usually, but why the hell should some clubs suffer while others get a golden run? It's fucked.
