LIVE GAME Round 9 vs Dragons

[JC99]

They are definitely making Galvin less of the attacking focal point. Smart move…the team looked fluid on many backline moves without too much influence of Galvin.

First half, Luai was in control, threatened with his running and kicked well and we dominated

Second half we went back to feeding everything through Galvin and we ended up playing too sideways again

First half is the blueprint of how we should be attacking games

 

[TYGA]

Saw the replay some really bad defence out there. Main culprits were Galvin, Naden, Bird and Sam Fainu. Bad reads, rushing in and missing tackles. Need a lot of work going to Melbourne.

 

[JC99]

Far out people, watch the reaction after our first try... Galvin jumps into Luai's arms celebrating! Stop reading into things

There could be a million reasons Galvin went straight to the sheds. Probably sore or exhausted!

Celebrated hard after the game with the boys. Playing good footy. Nothing to worry about

 

[TheKhan]

We've come out ahead in terms of our options at 9.
Having said that, I've always been a fan of Lids and happy to see him doing well. Shame it didn't work out here but that's life.

100%. I was disappointed we lost him

Luai needs to play like he did in the first half.

Best performance so far.

It's not his job to improve Galvin anymore.

Fanua Pole had a hand in 2 dragons trys.

We all need significant improvement to be competitive against the better teams.

I think most of these issues were caused by Toa not being there.

All you have to do is beat your opposition on the day. St George are a decent side comparable to us on most levels and have consistently smacked us in recent times . We are an improved footy side and we did what we needed to imperfectly - win.

 

[Kelce68]

Did anyone not expect Liddle to score 2 against us?

We moan about not having had a decent hooker since Robbie but this week (if Manly had played) there would've been 4 ex Wests players playing hooker in the NRL. Marshall King, Dockar-Clay, Liddle and Simpkin.

Who's moaning about not having a decent hooker?

We've had Api Koroisau for the past 2.5 years and have two of the best hooking prospects in the country in our stable for now.

If there's one position we've always had good value in, it's hooker.

They aren’t a decent side. Bottom 4, perhaps even bottom 2.

Thank you to Jayden Su'a for a great gift. We may not have got it done without your contribution to our scoreline.

I'd still take him if he was available and the price was right.

I just got here, so no idea what people are saying. Personally, I don’t care how invested he is currently, he’s wiped the club long term. He’s dead to me.

 

[rugbygoated]

Luai was heaps better last night. Him and Staines the two best players. His kicking game was excellent. Also nice to see him have a crack at a field goal even though it didn't work out after shifting it to AD last week. 13 point lead would have been certainty

 

[Kelce68]

They aren’t a decent side. Bottom 4, perhaps even bottom 2.

If they'd have beaten us last night, they'd be in the Top 8 instead of us.

... With a third of the season done.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Speaking of reading into things, am I? Benji, in the presser in praising Bula said “That’s why we signed him to a long term deal?”

Is he talking about his current deal, or did possibly let something slip in terms of an upcoming announcement?

But they didn’t, did they?

Capital letters for this

AS SOON AS LATU IS FIT GALVIN MUST GO.

The way Latu is going that might not be until around the end of 2026.

 

[hank37w]

Galvin need to learn when to pass and not to pass. Staines play well tonight.
Players need to practice Field Goals.
Need to come out after the second half with more focus.

At least we did not concede a try just before half time, thanks to a miracle.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

And one more thing about the presser. Benji is definitely a prickly dude when talking to the press. Even when we win. Needs to lighten up after a win.

 

[hank37w]

Far out feel like we have a outside back get injured every week man skeleton lauilli toa and now nado and isn't lobb injured hopefully toa is back next week we missed him today

Holmes didn't.
