I think Brian Carney must be the smallest prop in the SL. You have got to feel sorry for the bloke cos his game is just what a prop does. Get ball run in get tackled by three blokes.

I wonder if he can beat his oppo winger on a one on one. Guess we will never find out, as Brian just picks up the ball either from a long kick or acting half back.

Raper could clearly not give a toss tonight could he ?

I knew that it would not take long, after the first defeat since Stuart announced his decision.

You cannot blame Raper for tonights performance, the simple fact is that we were bloody awful in the first half and gave ourselves to much to do in the second.

Raper came out and said that he wanted to go home with a Grand Final ring - now he is clever enough to realise the fact that if the team suddenly goes into freefall then he will be gone before the end of the season!

At the end of the day we lost to a team that wanted it more and also to the worst performance since that Bulls Grand Final. Grow up and don't blame Raper leaving for every defeat from now to the end of the season!!

No, no Deltic you got me wrong. I am not having a pop at Raper. You are right the team were terrible. What I meant was Raper is normally throwing bottles around and bawling and shouting. But last night he was more relaxed.

I have no doubt he wants a Grand Final win. Lets hope he does take a Winners ring back to Oz along with his CC winners medal.

Lets face it, it was a crap time to announce Rapers departure. It has obviously caused disruption for the players, as they where a shambles on Saturday. The youngsters must have so much respect for Raper for giving them their shot, and now they don't know who they are going to be playing for next season, maybe some will be shown the door by the new man, and what about Ady Lam? Will he feature in the new mans plans? Why wasn't all this sorted behind the scenes and announced after the last game?
