So many cynical fouls and shark tonight from Brisbane.  I can't believe they only just lost their first player.

He already has quit.  So much for his rhetoric at the beginning of the season.  Shows what the man really is - a quitter

Frankly all the late season fxxking about with Rudan ontop of the usual threat of doom backdrop will have stuffed whatever he helped build earlier. Its pretty obvious the last two games have been a definite drop-off.

no big game players out there today. Two weeks of poor striking. Bring back Siggie or Tim Brown.

On paper, this was a winning team (except maybe Gulley), so I will stick with my own theory that the performance tonight (and a week ago) reflected the current team morale. Disappointing and dispiriting.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

And the what-ifs with Williams miss and Sheridan (and Mandi) posters. 

I reckon it has been an error having Sheridan on the bench so much - so more more seems to happen when he is on....

After such a positive season, to have it come down to this is actually just heartbreaking. 

For the first time in a long time I'm not even interested in what Rudan has to say at the presser after this one, I'm sure I'll get the gist of it tomorrow, but for tonight, like much of our team. I just can't be F U C K E D!

Goodnight.

Williams shots are better than last week but holy crap. 

What happened to Williams and Krishna? Last weekend something went awry for them and it's still lingering. 

Remember when Williams came out and said he was waiting to see what Rudan was doing next season? That’s whats happened.

Mistake to start Burgess. He does work extremely hard but he hasnt got that instinct that Singh has for the unexpected pass.

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

Bubble well and truly burst. If this had happened 4 or 5 games ago I would say there was still chance we could work through it and regain form but unfortunately I think it's curtains for us now.

The team has to take responsibility for some extremely poor play. Whatever the situation is re Rudan a coach has every right to expect that the players will perform the most basic defensive duties, no matter what line up he puts on the field.

Yeah we seemed to be creating a lot more with Singh and Sheridan on - Coaches calls eh!

Lost for words how the Rudan WU shambles has potentially ruined our finals chances. Players clearly distracted. The Williams miss says it all. Presume Rudan will say something at the presser coming up..

A potentially brilliant season has turned ino a typical "Warriors" type season.Very disappointing. So much promise after years of average performances and when it counts, minds are elsewhere. Here's what we think of you fans..........

Eh- Burgess had been in good form and Singh had a poor start against Adelaide. Might have worked out.

Surely the club and Rudan say something. They can't leave it another week, it'll get toxic. Hope Mark doesn't just bristle when he is asked about it in the presser, that can't cut it anymore. Someone needs to stand up and give us some clarity

Dont agree he has done well but not sure how you can judge any player when it seems their coach is about to walk away.There is more than just Burgess at fault for that crap;

Everything in front of goal is to predictable, Burgess for Singh was a mistake, Krishna snd Williams ineffective, defense to static, and coach should have changed the formation when everyone saw we got overrun by their counterattacks 10min onwards. We currently suck big time.
