Took a bit of a break from the forum over the weekend after the game and just caught up now.
I was bitterly disappointed with Thursday night. They went pretty well for about 60 minutes. I mean, we were playing Penrith, the defending premiers, and we trailed by just six with about 25 minutes to go. Granted, we weren't playing perfect Footy or anything, but I saw some signs. We were doing the little one-percenters better, our effort areas we better and the players looked like they actually wanted to be there which is a bit of a change from what we've got used to seeing recently.
But That last 25 minutes or so was back to the same old Souths that we've unfortunately come to know. The lack of energy and effort on the Taylan May try was one of the most disgraceful efforts I've seen in modern Rugby League. Sums up the game really and tells you everything you need to know about us at the moment.
I can't believe how we just let the game get away from us and crumble like that. I've heard some people say we didn't deserve the scoreline, but I disagree. When you're not fit enough and put in the lack of effort you did in the last 25 minutes, you deserve everything you get.
Another embarrassing game. We are so f**ked.
