Losing by a record margin and sitting on the bottom of the NRL ladder is no laughing matter but you wouldn't know it by the response of some Warriors players on Saturday night.
The Warriors slumped to a record 62-6 defeat to the Panthers and the sight of some of them laughing and joking among themselves and with opposition players afterwards was galling for fans who had just sat through 80 minutes of one of the most disgraceful performances in the club's history.
It was hard, at that point, to work out what was worse - the heavy defeat or the fact it didn't seem to matter to some players?
Perception can mean everything at times like this. Fans don't know how hard players work in training and in the gym and can only judge them on what they see in games. What they saw on Saturday was dreadful and what happened afterwards did little more than marginalise fringe fans and irritate even the most loyal.
They needed to look like defeat mattered, that they would do everything in their powers to turn things around the following week and they would be hurting for a couple of days. Not a couple of seconds.
