Catching the footy

[Sabre]

Why do we suck so bad at it?
Unless you're an amputee or a 4 year old catching a ball isnt that hard.
Never have I seen a team with such poor motor skills.

You would expect a team playing in the toughest rugby league competition in the world would be able to at least catch. But apparently not…

This is so disappointing.

There are several skills that our squad has hardly ever possessed. Kicking and defusing bombs are but two of them. I dont know what they do at training but they are getting worse.

catching the ball would be start,and holding onto it wouldnt be a bad idea either. :unamused:

 

[happy_tiger]

Can you imagine these blokes with the old leather balls we had in our day

They wouldn't catch bird flu ,seriously ,these blokes have shocking catching techniques

Get Jumper Leeds to train these blokes under the high ball and forget treating the injured

 

[stryker]

LOL yeah they couldnt handle old leather Happy….

Its amazing tonight how many bombs were dropped where Tigers players never looked like making the catch. We were lucky not to be 3 tries behind at half time.

The real question is why was Koroibete allowed to be isolated? Carney went to him all night and it paid dividends.

Surely. Surely. SURELY this has to be the last straw and some serious selection decisions are made. If not, I am joining the Potter has lost me wagon.

We havent hit rock bottom yet, that will come in 7 days time.

Maybe they should start by learning to clap there hands and explain catching is a similar process. When the ball comes near you clap and try to make the ball stick. I shouldn't post after a game like that it's really upsetting.Should of stayed home. Why are we so bad this year injuries or not!!!

You are spot on Stryker. I can see a 40 point demolition coming…...

Hopefully Koro will have learned from tonight. We def need height as well as speed on the outside as its been said many times. Can Nofo take a high ball well? Or anyone else coming through?

Its a crazy idea I know, but maybe Benji could practice his bombs and the team could practice their catching at the same time…

 

[boonboon]

Maybe that's the problem the boys try to practice catching bombs but Benji can never kick it anywhere near them despite years of trying so they don't get a chance to catch them on the full

 

[guyofthetiger]

Yeah prob best not to encourage Benji"s bombs…

Really. I think the real question is why he can't catch it. You need to add to that why when he catches he throws it away in our in goal.
