LIVE GAME Magic Round v Sea Eagles

[Dr_Ice]

Yes we have injuries, but our toll is not disasterous. Most sides could cover this to an extent, we fall apart. We have the worst depth in the NRL, including Saints.

Yes, Saints results didn’t worsen when injuries hit. Their depth players also lost

Legal action? It’s not that deep. Take a breath and hug your family.

Hahaha yeah I get your point, and I agree. But I honestly think some smart people could compile video evidence that could result in the NRL being shown to allow bias, even corruption

 

[BrissieTiger67]

Losses yes, but 3 straight annihilations, not so much. Most other depleted teams give it a bit of a crack at least.

Let's call it, manly has some really fast backline players and we were playing with boys ...I think they did have a crack

 

[BrissieTiger67]

Translates to "I must protect my fellow clown with the whistle"

That was truly garbage, at the ground on replay there was not any ripping action , horrid decision

Last three games gave exposed our lack of depth and more importantly the value of our key players injured.

The key issue is not only resigning and extending our talent its bringing in more. This is where our lack of third parties hurt us. Juniors will cover us in the long run.

End of the day we are 5/5 and have the bye. We cant afford more injuries.

No one except salary cap cheats like roosters, donkeys have that amount of depth to win games. 6 of our best players are out, now it looks like two more. The eels have more players out, but there mostly reserves and second string players. Same as the donkeys they had Walsh out but otherwise a totally intact backline. U have to actually look at what players are out to compare, which most halfwit commentators don’t have the intelligence to research!!

 

[Flippedy]

Now I’ll be sitting here watching the rest of the matches hoping someone else cops a real flogging, so we won’t be the worst flogging of the whole weekend. I don’t like my chances. Even the shit Bulldogs could keep Cronulla in the 30s.

Really because Brisbane with Walsh, Mam, Hunt in the spine lost by 28 to Manly last week same as we did with Hope, Madden and Mason in our spine

Unfortunately our middle is too soft without twal and Korosau, then we have no points of attack without Korosau, Dooey or bula… the depth is poor but there’s not much Benji can do. 1 or 2 players out sure but it’s your 4/5 best players….. it sucks but the result isn’t unsurprising

Interesting in some of the comments around the forwards, no doubt Api is the pin , but Samuela is a huge out. He gets through a ton of work and i would like to have seen him up against Haumole today. KPP ,i thought had a really good game in a beaten team.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

Maybe, if we all put $50 on the Dogs the Tigers actually win the game?

Yep and the new rules/imterpretations etc it just blows out. The lack of player depth throughout the comp is a real problem

The six again rule is killing the game. There’s no ref accountability and it’s way too subjective. It’s enough for a penalty just now the penalty.

 

[Fine Wines]

Dunno if he’s been banging the door down but couldn’t be much worse!

I have seen a bit of Javon Andrews and apart from one game in KOE this year he has been good. Go to NSWRL website and look at the highlights from Wests VS North (today) and i think it was the first magpies try and look at the lead up work by Andrews. He is a very good player that will at some stage have to be worked in to the team but at the moment not sure where.

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

Actually im tired of excuses look what the cowboys are doing to the roosters

 

[Flippedy]

True, but I’m pretty sure the Broncos wouldn’t let it happen for three in a row.

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

So who are your wingers?
And please reply with something not stoopid and justify it with en example at least.

i would keep the same and bring in one of the actual cup fullbacks
Luke had one so-so game but isnt why we are losing

 

[Fine Wines]

KPP deserves that, and shows why we need to feed him more ball.

KPP never stopped trying today.

Just look at this game...Daniel Tupou out injured replaced by Jnr Pauga...whos having a barry

 

[Fine Wines]

Feel a bit sorry for Roberts he's looked quite good, one big error which they got in the first half as not clearing the ruck. But he seems like a player should be given another opportunity when the whole team is back.

I agree, would like to see how Ethan Roberts goes in better company.

 

[Alex.Angelakis]

I just saw benji talking to the media after the game at what he can do to fix the problem tell you now the ones that cant tackle get rid of them like mason madden Herbert and hope .

Dude. You don’t have to create a thread every time you have a passing thought. God damn.
