LIVE GAME Round 20 vs. Rabbitohs

[Kaito]

Some penalties would have been nice but whatever

 

[Tim Sheens]

Conceding 40 for 4 weeks running has to be some sort of record

Not good, but at least WT can score 28 themselves to make it interesting.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Yeah it's the officiating.

Comprehension isn't your strong suit, dropkick. I mentioned that it was a combination of poor officiating and moronic plays. The longer the game went on, the more it was a case of the latter.

Souths have been in the bottom 4 all year and they were severely depleted today. Most teams would've beaten them today.

 

[hodgo]

It's games like this I wish we had signed old mate that's coaching saints

 

[finnzo]

That was not a sin bin

 

[Tonymontana]

100 points in 2 weeks, not bad

 

[Tucker]

is it his fault luke cant catch??

Of course not.
IT IS his fault our side are clueless in defence though.

 

[balmain boy]

We need to drop Bateman, Douiehi, Laulilii, Faatape and Miller.

There simply has to be consequences for repeated poor form from the first two and the last three are a long way from first grade

 

[batboy]

Luke has been found out big time today
He is out of his depth at NRL level.
Has zero speed
Is lazy in defence.
Doesn’t look at the ball when it’s passed to him
When he makes an error he stops, head down and gives up.

He should never have been getting the ball then… jahream is the new (I’m not allowed to get tackled) Benji.

Been giggling at all the posts bigging up Laulilii here for the last few weeks - he’s got nothing….

Doueihi was putrid - he didn’t wanna be there today….
His from the work all arvo.

The kids are awesome, yes they have a few mistakes in them but they are giving the team life… I hope Benji sticks with them. The 6 agains were ridiculous as was the send off, but ultimately the mistakes cost us.. we have a real threat when they get their shit together. I have hope again.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

It is more how extravagant the NRL is on these tackles … watch a junior footy game and you’ll see about 10 “hip drops” a game.

NRL players love milking them

The NRL is a different game to the junior league.

You watch a junior footy game and you don't see the bunker making decisions.
You watch a junior footy game and if someone from the bench hops in to a scuffle he gets suspended for the season. (Cameron Murray)

People need to stop comparing the 2, they will never be the same.
1 side pays to play the game and the other gets paid to play.

 

[Kearnsy]

I hope we never see Bateman or sezer in first grade again. You can throw the pillow Klemmer in the bin too. Senior players are dog shit. If I hear anyone suggest we re sign sezer for next year I’m gonna spew. He’s a dogshit 5/8 and has never been a controlling half. Leeds didn’t want him for a reason.

 

[batboy]

Of course not.

And the 2 outside backs are run out of room on most of the plays

 

[cktiger]

Of course not.

You’re wrong.
They know what they’re supposed to do but just can’t do it.

100 points in 2 weeks, not bad

We have conceded 40+ four weeks in a row.

He's even out of his depth in state cup, yet everyone was creaming themselves over a dummy half run in his FG debut. I highly doubt either Laulilii boy will cut it in the NRL. I'm not writing them off, but the odds are against you when you're slow and small.

 

[tigers.]

Man we played so dumb ! . Not blaming the ref but does any know what the penalty count was ? Haha

 

[Telltails]

A bit harsh on the young blokes they are always going to make errors and we have a team full of them. Luke L is a good ball runner was integral in a great team try. Good leg speed and puts his body on the line - what is he 18.??!

 

[Yossarian]

7-2 penalty count.
Ridiculous sin bin
Dopey Luke
Bozo Bateman

That's the loss there.
