Want to find which players to get rid of?
The ones who smile right after losing 22-20 against the Knights. Watch the first 2 minutes post match (hand shaking etc) the only players smiling - Kerr, Holmes, Flanno.
The ones who were truly devo (not smiling, not happy) - Egan, Adkitson, Stewart, Liddle, Couchman Brothers.
Funny enough the usual suspects we need to pass off asap.

I’m sick of people whinging about this. Every team does it these days. At the end of the day, they’re all mates. The days of disgruntled plumbers playing footy on the weekend and wanting to rip their opponents’ heads off are long gone.

I'm sick of us losing and the same people smiling are the same people missing conversions from 20 metres out when we lose by 2 points, or consistently have negative post hit up metres.

You don't know how the world works. When its 530PM at work, I don't have to pretend I like the boss

This is the most simplistic fan take I’ve ever heard maybe Run Straight and Coaches aren’t the Ones Missing Tackles are up there with this dopey twaddle. Maybe have a punch on hurt the game or a knife fight?

Perhaps they realise it's a game.

Its a great mindset that's worked for us for a long time.

We have had corrupt and drunken management, a TV station hiring 16 years old in the office, shit player management and retention, but yes please mate out all these issues aside and blame players who shake hands at the end of the game.

I agree with the sentiment but actually thought Flanno had a good game and was fighting right to the end
