**live game feed** vs the Eels

[avocadoontoast]

What positives do you take in all reality

We are a shambles in attack

Our defence is horrible .....we play dumb in both attack and defence

It hasn't improved in 4 games

This is either an on field issue in attack ...Brooks is the organizer or it is poor coaching ...then it's Madge fault

And Madge picks Brooks ....

Something has to give ..or they both can go

And I wait patiently for the excuseathon

So if we are going to defend as bad as we are ....and our attack was planned ad lib ...we may have as well kept Marshall .....is shows how idiotic our football is

Brooks was one of our best today. 3 try assists, gave plenty of early ball to LL and Talau, steered the team in attack and made no mistakes. We were soundly beaten in the forwards, and had no line speed in defence. Your analysis of the game shows your bias against Brooks and general lack of Rugby League knowledge.

He was dreadful.

He wasn't doing what the main who is leading our team around should be doing

I didn’t think we played great particularly in the first half but my god parra got all the rub of the green game in the balance I thought Gutho was clearly offside for his try. And AJ has to go he is useless give Hoffman a crack or even Cini he looked strong in reggies.

Maybe you could offer some evidence or reasoning for your assertion. At the moment I can only assume your expectations of what he is supposed to do are incorrect.

By his standards he was amazing.
By normal standards expected of a halfback it was very far from amazing. Very. Chasm far.

I’ve seen him play over 150 games, most have been underwhelming. The majority of his good games have been against poor teams. He struggles against good teams and always has. Today his kicking was poor and his game management was non existent. They had to get Mbye out there because we were playing with literally one half. Should I go on?

No wonder he can’t catch, his nose is blocking his vision in one eye.

Kick for Laurie's TRY..?

 

[hsvjones]

I didn’t think we played great particularly in the first half but my god parra got all the rub of the green game in the balance I thought Gutho was clearly offside for his try. And AJ has to go he is useless give Hoffman a crack or even Cini he looked strong in reggies.

Parra Put there hands up on every play and whinge to Refs... Its seem to work for them as they always get the calls so maybe we might have to start doing this :man-shrugging:

 

[Swordy]

I like Twal he always gives a 100% but coming up against these bigger packs having Tamou,Musgrove and Twal as the starting pigs they get dominated. If Tamou is going to start the team needs someone at lock who can make an impact in attack, and help with getting the team down field.

I personally think the answer to that is a straight swap with the cowboys...,Mbye for McGuire.

People saying we have an easy draw now.

I’m very, very nervous because we rarely win games we are supposed to.

To be fair, we are a better team than our history suggests. I havent seen the eels game but a mate rang and said we gave them a run, he was shocked.

I always thought our first 4 weeks were tough, and we will sneak into the 8 slowly as the year goes on.

They do have the professional whinger in Moses in their side, his stench is rubbing off.

That should be the norm for an NRL half ..

Too Long between drinks ..

Watched him close today and he’s a shirker !
He shirks responsibility in the crunch times ..
Rather have Chad Townsend tbh .

Who were the 15 NRL halfbacks who were better than Brooks this week? I saw maybe 2

Not almost, Moses is streets ahead of Brooks as a half, many will try deny it because of Moses's personality, but it is plain for all to see

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I liked the character that we showed at 24-10. There were moments we could have easily dropped our heads and lost by 30, but somehow got back within 2. Could have won with some luck. Should beat the Cows.
