Dumb football team

[tiger_tigers]

yes the refereeing was appalling , BUT we just played it dumb…..no ball in their red zone , we get a penalty so we use mr 60% TO KICK AT GOAL .....we always make teams look better than they are .....all they wanted to do was play it safe .........why is it we make a reserve grader in luke odwyer look like an origin legend .....
mitch brown isnt a centres back side either

Brown at centre wasn't the issue.

The penalty count definitely favoured them after the 1st 20 minutes. Some stupid drop-ball was the problem. I don't think it was attitude though. Fatigue.

i didnt say brown was the issue …. but it was plain to see he didnt handle centre when his opponent could get in his face all night .....he is great on the wing with the high ball... tonight the 19 didnt have a clue when the ball went up .....

That was Latu. He had a hard night. Has played 3 FG games a fair few years apart says to me FG is a level too high for me. Would look for someone else next week. Hopefully Beau Ryan is fit.

Brown I would like to see more at centre. The team wasn't too fluent at all. Miller had a fair go but you can see the side wasn't as slick without Moltzen at halfback or McKinnon at fullback.

The tactic of kicking on 3rd tackle and turning a team around works on Souths because they are big and noted for their lack of fitness. It doesn't work on the Titans who have no fitness issues but a creativity issue.

Tactics were all wrong, we needed to sustain pressure with the ball and make them tackle more, instead of kicking so early. I saw the low statistic of metres gained, alot of this was because we rarely got to a 5th tackle. I hate blaming the coach for games, but the tactics were stupid in this game.

Knew after the first set of six that we were in trouble.

We fluked 14 points but in reality we were stagnate. Very little forward movement. We looked totally disorganised and flat. Probably as result of having all the young blokes, by necessity, in the team. Apart from the first two tries the kick chase was terrible. So many mistakes by senior players as well.

Good one to put behind us, next week’s performance just has to be better than tonight’s.

Spot on. The Titans are mobile and we played them into some confidence and form.

Good post Bismark. I was thinking exactly the same thing during the game.

I don't think so. We saw plenty of our own 20 though.
