LIVE GAME Live Game Discussion, vs Dragons - Rd 10 MAGIC ROUND *Spoilers*

[diedpretty]

Yeah no idea what the game plan was today but it wasn't the right one.

Need Bateman back. Need more strike off the bench as well.

Yep - i think people are under estimating the value of Bateman to this side.

We won the game but geez call a spade a spade. We didn’t just win the premiership.

Brooks insipid hospital dumps to an inside flat footed forward is the hallmark of his crap career.
And repeatedly running that on the penultimate play of the set completely defines his lack of any ingenuity or play making ability.
The sad part is this was a bad game by any normal halfback standard, but a good game for him. He sucks.

So I can’t say a player didn’t have a good game? or was it just cause I said Brooks had a good game.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Agreed. It was so boring to watch. No attack at all.

Can anyone tell me if Wakeham has actually ran the ball once in the last 3 weeks? I swear he hasn't. Just passes.

Mbye playing style

He kicked well and avoided any of his usual back-breaking errors but otherwise this is spot on.

Bula is different gravy i hate overhyping young players coming through but i think this kid has the goods. We better have him or be working on locking him in long term. Not Noffa's biggest fan but he was really good today, pack wasnt as good as they have been think we missed Bateman.
But bloody hell we can still come up with some howlers, Wakeham non touch finder leads to a try and Kepaoa's dumb strip almost cost us.
Toupou is one we should be locking up too i rate him.

Bigsiro is spot on with his analysis. This isn't
a feelings call, it's nothing personal - just shrewd
observation. But yeah, he did run alright in the
first 30 if you're angling for a positive haha

By all means call out players that were good AND bad, regardless of the result.

Bula & Tupou are our future. We cannot afford
to lose either of them. Keep at all costs!!!

Well done WTs. Really noticed the difference when Api got tired tho. He did some dumb stuff, went for a quick spell. Simpkin came on and our whole attack fizzled out completely. Api comes back on refreshed and the game changes momentum in our favour. We need a stronger back up hooker. Wins a win and I feel good.

Agree he made a lovely half break.

Suncorp looking like a cows paddock 😆

The Broncos Pommie assistant coach said the thing about Aussie players is that they're big , fast and athletic but he had to teach them how to be footballers. I think that's what Sheens has found with our blokes so he's had to simplify things.

Completely agree with this...add Klemmer and Stef....
Joe O struggling IMO big time.

Bula brilliant

We still struggle to score points … could’ve easily lost it

For our team stats we should’ve scored another try or two

 

[Tucker]

Just remember we are an attacking team this year under sheens/benji 🤦‍♂️

It’s so hard to believe they were peddling that shit all off season.
Our attack relies HEAVILY on opposition errors and missed tackles.
Creativity is close to zero.

 

[Tucker]

Cowboys will win this just to keep us in 17th 😖

 

[Todd Packer]

2 weeks ago all that mattered was getting a win. Now the whinging's shifted to how we win.
Just enjoy the freakin' win.
We lost a key player 5 minutes before kickoff and didn't get rattled. How many times has that happened in the past?

 

[Todd Packer]

There's a whole lot of talkback callers on here who complain all the fun out of their own lives.

A wins a win... lucky it was the Dragons
Losing Bateman was big for us - lost some structure and momentum - game plan was astray.
Losing Naden (although he has numerous brain explosions) had an impact - our lack of depth in the centres is so evident.
They looked tired in parts especially the 2nd half - possibly from the big game in the wet last week catching up with them.
Api didn't have his best game but I think he was saving himself for a massive game next week v Souths (Origin decider).
