LIVE GAME Round 24 vs. Rabbitohs

Live Game Discussion
In the press conference, Benji said he would've loved to give Galvin a rest but he doesn't have any other options.

Interesting statement.
Agree
rest Galvin play Sullivan no issue , he has options and I feel what he is doing is playing both Sullivan and Nadan in reserves to hope they move on , find new clubs .
same reason he didn’t need to play API at 7 when Sezer was out , that’s a sheens play , he should,have left api at 9 and used Sullivan
 
Sezer nearly cost us that game.

Kayo won’t let me screenshot, but in the set where Souths nearly scored at the end, our defensive was around the 40m line, when they made a break on the left side. As play moved to the 15m line, while the game was on the line, he was walking back .. in fact he was the last player to get back to defence, and then as Souths spread the ball, he makes the wrong read on defence and they nearly win the game

Outside of this, there was also another time in the second half where he was clueless it was 5th tackle.

Lucky win for us.
YES
And don’t forget about the one on one tackle on the line to stop a certain try.
 
He definitely has a confidence issue in wanting to catch high balls and if he is to continue playing fullback he needs to fix, but he’s still only 18y.o, so plenty of time to fine tune his game.
From an attacking point of view he certainly runs the ball very well, I think we needed to get him more ball when we were in good attacking positions and just instructed him to take them on with his sharpness and right foot step as much as possible.
I have seen him drop those bombs in the lower grades over the last couple of years.
Just doesn't have the confidence to catch the balls that don't come directly to him.
 
Douehi terrible in D tonight.

Grabs

Doesn’t run back and cover - watch Damian cooks last try.

I know it won’t happen but maybe turn him into a winger? He’s not quick but he can be our poor man Zach lomax bc he can jump high for balls and he can get good yardage out of the back
 
75m in 22 minutes. Has great footwork and an offload. It is imperative we develop this guy.

His brother had his worst game of the year unfortunately. Maybe the drain if the season is getting to young Sam, because tonight he was close to worst on field. Needs to get to the end of the year.

Poor old Sam F is running out of steam … he was close to our best player the first half of the year ..but has been on the slide a while now …

Still …gotta remember he is only 20 years old and has played a lot of NRL minutes in a terrible pack …. I think he has an Origin level ceiling couple of years down the track

A poor man’s version of Lomax, is still a rich man compared to Doueihi. They are not in the same stratosphere
 
South’s were very average
we were better than normal, scrambled well a fair few times .
scored some good tries .
players had a dig and yep made some mistakes but were also good .
We need to come out hard against manly and take DCE out of the game , Brooks will be on a mission but he will be easily put off , just get in his face .
Spoon will,be decided against Parra , with those slimmer getting it

He is quick enough, remember his try v Raiders?

As long as they don’t beat Dragons
 
I don't think anyone is calling him atrocious..but certain parts of his game need work .....leaving bombs at this level bounce isn't acceptable
Of course as do all young developing players need work on certain aspects... Even seasoned vets need to work on things you don't one day reach a pinnacle & stop learning

His performance was described as atrocious which was what I replied to... Quite harsh imo
