LIVE GAME Round 15 vs. Titans

[tigerballs]

Kinda looked like a shoulder charge on Bateman too....

Proving to be one of the biggest grubs in the game to be honest.

That was a shoulder charge for sure.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Already cost Api his.

Absolutely. Tino should have been sent from the field. It just rubs more hurt into the situation.

 

[Demps]

That was a shoulder charge for sure.

I thought so.

No whistles blown though.
Lots of laying on the players and slowing things down, like last week.

Well tonight confirmed we need a 6 and if Talau is going to Manly it’s a great call. Also Noffa showed Staines will be in front of him when he comes back. I think we have a great nucleus - we need to just get better at week in week out playing consistently

Noffa was much better than some others tonight. TT and Wakeham had games to forget. Just when I forget how rubbish Tommy is, he gives us a reminder again.

 

[Sco77y]

Yeah well Gus….enough said? Lol

And the rest, lol

 

[Halbrowne61]

Nothing else to say after that.
A shocker in many different ways, will be very hard to lift themselves but does open the door for some experimentation.

 

[weststigerman]

Naden in for Talua
Laurie in for Wakeham

Naden was playing excellent before his injury. Laurie should be given a crack at 6 in first grade

Was a weird performance in my mind, I know we lost but we showed some fight at the same time. Api coming off early threw us off badly, he’s our best player and most instrumental

If Talua and Wakeham don’t play that game I believe we’re a real shot

Who’s in for Brooks?

We’re stuck with Wakeham.

I thought that was a cracking tackle.
He is a good hard player.

Earlier front on one. No arm involved, straight shoulder.

 

[Sco77y]

Reminds me of the forum

If only we could earn 6 figure salaries too

 

[weststigers]

100% and I think he’ll cop suspension.
It’s not the crime of the century though.
Both sets of the Chanel 9 commentary team are trying to influence his selection in Origin.
It’s not as bad as Joey and Fred reckon and it’s not as harmless as Fatty and Cam state.

It was deliberate. Check the replay…he shifts his right forearm towards Api. It wasn’t incidental to the tackle, he actually goes for his head.

 

[jirskyr]

Channel 9 is littered with conflicts of interest

Never watch Ch 9 any more except when I have no choice (Origin). Even Ennis, whom I dislike immensely as a caller, is preferable to the egos and mouthpieces on Ch 9. I just want someone to call the footy not run an agenda.

Dont know if it was just me, but we just seemed to keep passing the ball from sideline to sideline without setting things up with some direct running first. Also our 2nd phase was virtually non existent. We really need to learn how to promote the ball after initial contact.

Big man on little man. Been happening for over 100 years.

I say 50/50 coz most big boppas put the bumper bar up. It wont fix APIs jaw but he may get a week or two coz he has form in that area.

Yeah, everything that could go wrong did.

And a lot of fringe players like Talau and Wakeham went back miles.

Add in we just lost most of our spine for months.

A disaster.

We are looking at things like

6 ToA
7 Laurie
9 Jake

from here.

i.e. we won't win another game.

Tallyn will be a star...but he is 18.

And only just 18.

Can't expect much yet.

And we, literally, have no 6-7 of first grade standard left to pick.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Zane Camroux

Can he kick goals

 

[Sco77y]

Yeah same. Ennis was more unbearable than usual tonight, but Warren Smith at least balanced him out a little.

Was introduced to first grade by the likes of Bellamey, NAS and Kaufusi, isn't any surprise?
