Couldnt watch the end.

Shame about Matterson......

Clearly there is overlaps on Nofas side when they score - but why on earth does he not tackle someone? He doesn’t get the centre, he doesn’t get the winger, almost every single time they score in his corner he’s in the middle of the two attackers grabbing at thin air. Take one or the other mate!

Didn’t think he was terrible, thought he was solid. No way would I be dropping him

Too busy thinking INTERCEPT HERO PLAY too often

Exactly. He always goes for the all or nothing play. That’s not a smart way to defend

And Doueihi cost us 3 tries tonight.

Looked like he was spooked from the 1st minute.

MCK glad he is ok
what do we think of Brooks .. gone ?

I just want an answer with his running game 1st before we bury him

The new game suits him running more often and at speed and giving Grant and the 6 space

No blaming Nofo, he tried all night to generat an attacking spark.

Two lazy plays upfield by one player who apparently was hooked cut two tries. It was a shame because the player has had a great season. Hopefully he will bounce back.

Different subject but his confidence was done in the 1st half .....he was far too deep for the bomb when he got knocked out

Good sides are working out positionally he isn't good

I’m one of Doueihi’s biggest fans but he was terrible tonight.

Rowdy sets up Nuffie for a clear run TWICE . OPs Nuffie nowhere to be seen he needs to decide whether he is a winger or wants to play in the middle .

We must have watched a different game - I do recall however two terrible passes from Rowdy to the winger.

As said earlier, I'll defer to Madge to sack Nofo if he believes he's at fault. I'm certain it will happen if you're correct.

Josh A lazy twice and two tries. Maguire would not be pleased.

Nofoaluma's defensive issues exposed against the top teams.

I hope Maguire promotes the young Rooster's signing to replace Nofoaluma.

Geez, I'd hate to be related to you. Nofa has been great for most of the year, wasn't bad tonight & you're calling for his head?!?

It is okay against the weak teams or Broncos but he gets found out defensively against the top teams.

A lot of our defence got exposed tonight. And most times, when wingers come in, that side of the defence is short, so they shoot in & pressure the attack to make the mistake. Sivo did the same thing twice, and twice we effed up!


Channel Nine just analysed it and said it was caused inside and once there was a 3 on 2 there was no chance to stop it. Actually mentioned Benji going in first but I think it was more that Gutherson came into the line making the extra man.

Sadly, it doesn't matter how many times you explain it, some people will never digest it.

Exactly. They see the end product, but not the lead up.

I'm not sure why we are bagging these blokes..

We were up against a clear lack of possession some due to repeated penalties and 6 again's thanks to Sutton some because of our own errors lost 2 players to HIA another in McIntyre off at the same time...A kid who made a great debut..

No one didn't put in every effort to try to get us home or back into the game and we finished as strong as we started scoring the last TRY..missing half our starting pack..

Yeah we lost but there are more positive signs than the previous 5 years..

By all means though ..carry on..

Twice when Rowdy tried to pass it to Nofo he wasn’t even on his wing. He was in the middle.

Glass half empty types - would boo Santa.

Doing hit ups..out of our own end...

Which is a shame, as he is good at controlling the he ball when he is.

After a lose, people want scalps. We are starting to sound like Bunnies supporters. God forbid, Eels supporters as well.

Happened in Philadelphia a long time ago during an NFL game.

But miraculously, he's supposed to play the ball & shoot back to the wing to get the ball again when someone makes a break.

 

[voice_of_reason]

While I criticised him for his defensive issues (and rightfully so)

This is where we disagree.

 

[Russell]

People forgetting Doueihi set up our try.

That’s a defensive strategy not Doueihis fault

No he let 2 in and will be suspended.
He had a play with moses and blew it.

Will be suspended for what?

If he gets suspended for a Shoulder charge then Sivo should be suspended for his - in the same tackle.
