LIVE GAME Round 3 versus Souths

[innsaneink]

Agree they went well, but not against an NRL side.
Let's test Madden at least, next week.

Madden....played and kicked well. In the trials mainly against reserves qualtity opponents
No other.option tho your time to shine jock

The structures were there when Madden was the manager.
Doueihi and Luai just don't stand deep enough. Flat footed when they get the ball? Do not run onto the ball.

Agree, TS. They all looked flat footed & shallow last night. Passing the ball from side to side to someone else standing still. Credit to Madden. He looked a different player than in his previous time with us. I know it was only a trial, but with either Luai, Latu, or even Andrews at 6, Madden could be the steady hand we need.

It cut out about 5.times firmme.during our game but rectifies itself...oftem get a BS you are offline mssg come.up
Its getting worse....and if i watch 360 after its started it goes off at 7.30 and its not on the menu.
Itll be my final year with it if its not improved

NRL 360 without Buzz and Kent ,with contrarian viewpoints and revealing insights.is a shadow of what it once was
Tallis attempts to play the black hat role,but is seriously as dumb as doggie poo,and just doesnt work for an informed viewer.Just anger rather than agenda
Read has too many biases
Its no longer compulsive viewing

I have been a big Bula supporter and I rate him. The difference between what Jye Grey does for South’s energy, attack, kick returns and even defence is night and day. He has to lift his game.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Its an easy one mate, we suck the opposition 20 because we don't have a 13, 6, or 7 that straightens the attack. With all that possession last night, if our halves were Madden and Latu, or if it was Madden, Luai and Latu playing a role at 13, we win by a few tries.

Madden the common factor.
I've been singing his praises for weeks.
Andrews or Twal at 5/8 maybe. As long as it's not Mason. That IMO would be a disaster against the Wahs.

 

[Yossarian]

Probably have more chance with the super stars out replaced with goers?

I suppose we’ll find out.

Contract talks cruel us year in year out. No doubt it’s affecting his form in my mind.

He has always played that way, I actually think he is close to his peak as his style hasn’t seen large improvements the last 12-18mths and doesn’t have that game breaking / team motivation level.

Brooks is probably the closest we have in that mould but is years off.

Just Isuuc Moses contracts, with certain players that appear to rate themselves higher than performances.

He had a season where he won our best player and was much more involved when we had opportunities. Drifts out of games now.

 

[upthetigers]

I'm gutted honestly. These are the games we need to win to make the 8. Souths will be competing for the 8 like we will.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

We still blaming the old halfback for it?

The old halfback is busy absolutely ruining a new teams attack… he was stellar on kick offs last week was the gossip

I think Grey should be called “ The Energiser Bunny”. Good to watch.

I hate to say it but he schooled our fullback.

 

[Vicious]

Most NRL fullbacks are energiser bunnies, just not ours.
To think someone like Trai Fuller is currently not even getting NRL game time.

 

[Vicious]

So much for the reports over the summer that the sprint coach had transformed him into Speedy Gonzales, arriba, arriba, andale, andale.

Sorry, stole your thunder Tito.

He looks very fast, just not fond of any potential heavy contract.

The tale of two games (vs cows and vs souths). I find it hard to believe that souths were inside the 10 just one time in 80 minutes. They were out on their feet.

 

[Stevec]

We won every stat but lost the game
Our backline centers and wingers looks really inexperienced given the most experienced one Turuva was playing out of position at center
We had so many chances to win the game but resorted to crash plays to try and get the winning try but we were clunky
Souths goal line defence good but our backline just couldn't do it
The last 15 mins a disaster losing both half's
What's the back up Benji ?
