Strange half. Let's get Levi back out there for a surprise drop the ball with the line wide open play.

Schiller could not tackle a care bear
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Playing like we've all just met for the first time. No organisation from any of our spine players.

It’s just the bounce of the ball mate! We’ve been seriously unlucky.

Get back into the grind and bleed green - needs to be the halftime message

The opposition know what is coming from us, every single week.

Just slow lateral passing, no shape, no bodies in motion. Nothing to respect so they just rush up and compress.

Years and years of it, and we don’t have an answer
In summary - lack of systems and coaching in attack

He's deplorable. I simply don't understand how people wanted him in the team based entirely on being moderately fast. He's **** hopeless.

Poor old Timoko on that right hand side is up against it today. Sisagi 4 misses, Weekes 3, Schiller hopeless.

Given how often these blokes get told to grind and bleed green, we have a remarkable amount of these low-effort, poor line speed games…

That crash ball set on the line was unforgivable.

So is picking Levi over Woolford.

Ricky’s milestone game pretty well over at half time thanks to two major failings is fairly apt.

I think we would have looked better when Levi went off even if we did not replace him.

1. Is 18
7. His first game in Raiders and he's got under 40 odd games to his name

6. Is also very young

9 is Levi or Starling

It's the senior players that have let us down. Timoko has played well. Their forwards and backs have dominated.

Levi shouldn't play FG for us again. Absolute filth. Don't know how Hudson Young is still in the origin conversation.

As rudderless as we’ve been, we should have a couple of tries on the board. We are the kings of blowing half chances at key stages.

I’ve been told on good authority that there’s no such thing as either. It’s just individual players doing good things at good clubs.

I think it’s time for Rick to park his ego and bring in some outside voices to the coaching process.

He could do a lot worse than giving mike a call

That was a Warren Smith euphemism for "Levi sucks"

Except he is not getting any quality early balls when attacking the tryline. The one time he did, Schiller was watching in awe and forgot to catch the ball.

We’d at least have 7 points by now instead of a big fat zero

Sharks leading 18-0. No energy from our forwards. Joe Tapine one of the worst one on one tackles from a Captain you will ever see. Nice break for Xav and he passes beautifully to DL who somehow drops the ball. Sharks score from the next set. DL is subbed off soon after for Starling and DL has missed 3 tackles in his 27 minutes of game time. Ricky will need get them focussed and energised for the second half.
