Live Game Thread - Spoilers

Nofo is a complete idiot.

He was our best to that point and it's a crap rule… He's not the first player to get sucked into this... It's a reflex action and it shouldn't be in the game

I agree. Nofo was about our only player making decent yards out of our end. He saved a try when 3 of our guys dropped off a tackle and RTS was away. It was a questionable penalty at best and a reflex action to tackle the bloke - and it's possible he saved a try there too.
I think the other side has been more of a concern - Kev took thin air in their try and has been beaten badly a couple of times. Our middle is looking brittle.
I'm guessing Rowdy failed the HIA (we do miss him) although MCK is going OK.

Any news on the HIAs?

Sue returned, Rowdy didn't.

 

[AL The Tiger]

When are Liddle and Packer back?

Packer hopeful for next week.

Should be good. We need those two back ASAP. Grub back wouldn't be too bad either

 

[GNR4LIFE]

When is grub back can’t wait.

He won”t come straight back in. He’ll come off the bench.

 

[Tigrr]

And to think Marshall is © and meant to be leading but is worst on field !

Down the coast with the family and trying to listen on the radio as I feed and put my son to sleep.

Sounds like we are doing terribly with discipline and controlling the ball - initially though maybe the NZ commentary team is making sound worse. Read through the tread here and it confirms we are going terrible.

 

[wmlmaster]

Is Lawrence coming back on?

 

[Tigrr]

Fonua to centre and kev to wing next week

Replacing Benji I hope. He’s a shoe in for 5/8 now

 

[Guest]

If we're going to turn this around, we need to dominate possession and I daresay it, Benji to step up.

 

[wmlmaster]

Fonua to centre and kev to wing next week

I was thinker sooner in second half

 

[851]

The only fools are the ones stood up for Marshall last week.

Does that include Cleary? He’s the one persisting with him.

Yes it does, especially if he is there next week

Good Kick Brooks to start

 

[underdog]

Great kick Brooks, much better set to start,.

 

[Guest]

Good run Nofo

 

[Guest]

And Benji loses the ball. Useless

No, we are not playing terribly. We are actually moving the ball quite well. However the Warriors are out muscling us overall and Benji is killing us with his errors.

 

[hobbo]

Benji lmao

 

[AL The Tiger]

To be fair, the Warriors had their hands all over the ball there

 

[Guest]

Actually Benji was hard done by on that
