You mean like the whole team getting around McGovern after he missed a gettable shot to win the game last week. Closed ranks. Win together, fail together. Etc.

So what does he do to repay the team? Gives a gobfull to a teammate who was apparently to blame for his own inability to spoil his opponent.

Disgraceful.
He had an absolute shocker and I am sick to the teeth of him trying to spoil and finds himself on the ground - get the hell up! Generally He doesn’t apply an effective tackle anyway so he just takes himself out of the play. It is maddening. Mind you he kicked it mostly directly to the opposition so 🤷🏻‍♀️ as did Ollie.

Just maybe....
Some star player will be leaving at the end of the year, hasn't been made public yet but the other players have heard about it 5-6 weeks ago and now don't really want to play hard for him???
Trying to join the dots to explain the drastic drop off.
2024... Moir of the same to come

And I wouldn't blame him one bit.  Given absolutely everything to this club and we have destroyed him.

But then again, the club hasn't exactly given its supporters much either in the past thirty dark years.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Lord was brilliant yesterday. 30 touches, 8 tackles.

Well, it seems likely our coaches will be forced to try out several of our seconds who are yet to debut.   

They may not be ready, but with 1/2 doz injuries there may be no other choice. 

Ab

ps. many of us will watch the outcome with interest.

I'm just blaming one bloke as this had been ongoing for years.

This year is worse as we were as genuine a flag threat as anyone. Then 7 rounds to go we were cooked, as happens as you can't keep getting injured, coming back then play out a season. Just a look at the last 5 years, bar last year, and the pattern is the same. You don't get to 2nd on the ladder thag far into a season unless you were going really well. One point we just destroyed clubs in final qtrs. Now we can't run past a qtr.

That bastard Russell may have highly contributed to us missing our on big shot.

Billy Wilson is lightning quick and Binns can run all day.  That will add some missing spark. 

Boyd another one we've sunk effort who gets injured too often.  I can understand carrying an injured gun like Charlie or Walsh, but Boyd?  FMD, he isn't exactly a young Chris Johnson in the BP.

Voss will probably play them still with their hammed hanging off their bone.

With so many it is one bloke one can blame. Thd ones who were actually injury prone had no hope.
