Next Week....

[goldcoast_tiger]

The way you've been carrying on all arvo I'd have sworn you backed the drags

I was only critical of players. Still wanted to win like every week.
Stop confusing criticisms of players as wanting the team to lose.
It's misguided to say the least.

Sorry that the major Anti Farah rant that you had prepared if we lost, had to be torn up today.
It must have torn you apart to see that Farah was a big part of a win,

It’s makes you look a bit weird when you are Baking a player when the game is televised
And everyone else can see that you are just talking garbage, as the player is having a very good game , to say the least

Firstly. I have no rant prepared for a loss. Stop making stuff up.
I want our team to win and that happens if Farah succeeds. I just don't want him back in the team due to his personality. I have no doubt about his ability.

Secondly. I didnt watch the game on T.V. I listed to 2GB today. I'm based overseas and find it hard to find a station depending on my country at the time.
Tune in radio app is my saviour.

Go and take a valium and calm down. You're getting worked up for nothing. A random internet persons opinion shouldn't upset you this way.

Until next week.

I don’t believe it?..
You didn’t even see the game yourself? So you are purely echoing some commentators on a radio station
By the way , you dont upset me, especially after that. :laughing:

Is Inglis still out? Bonus if so.

I gave us a chance today, but if we played the Rabbits today we get smacked!

I don't give us a hope at all next week, our defense around the ruck at times today was weak as water.
Captain Cook will annihilate us.

The Dragons were way off today and still nearly pulled the rug out from under us.

Our forwards just won't be able to handle Souths and won't make a dent in attack.
I'm sorry but even though Packerlino went a little bit better today, they're just not going to be good enough, I actually thought we looked better when they were off the field.
We're not getting quantity or quality minutes from them.

What a great fan you are.

:bash

Gotta remember they do the hard yards at start of the game. But agree packer in particular very loose in 2nd stint

For what? 20mins.
Then they rest for 50 then play another 20 or in Matulinos case 15.
And we play better when they're off.

Do we?

 

[Demps]

Playing South's twice in the next few weeks….

Will be tough games.

 

[Spacecub]

If results go our way, we will only be 2 points out of the 8 with a pretty decent run home. How fast things change. Top 8 is still very realistic.

The two home games we lost to canberra and titans would bite us on the bum…would love those 4 points....souths are on a good run and have to lose one eventually i think it will be this week...we will miss rowdy but

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Having come down from yesterdays high, and being able to take the emotion out of it, its a safe bet Souths will be 10x the test Saints were. While we were courageous yesterday, Saints are on the slide. Souths will be the team everyone has to beat in September. On paper they will steamroll us. The only hope we could have is after 9 wins in a row they are complacent. If it comes down to them at their best vs us at ours, i don't think we have the class. Anyway, prove me wrong.

 

[Snake]

Defence is the only way for a victory against Souths a defensive side has to be named

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Defensively we went backwards after Rowdy went off

We will miss Rowdy BIG TIME next week , maybe 3 -4 weeks unfortunately

He has made defensive errors leading to tries the last 2 games, both on halfbacks close to the line. Hunt this week and Ash Taylor at Leichhardt. His defense is generally very good but he's got some issues on the goal line…

Yeah I don't know why he even chased Hunt for , Brooks had him covered , if Rowdy stays in the line Hunt probably doesn't even run

Exactly what he did with the Ash Taylor try at Leichhardt…he's gotta learn from his mistakes and worry more about covering his own space in the line. There's a time for going in hard on the man with the ball but he's doing it when the ball carrier has too much depth. Anyway he's a hard worker, I'm sure he'll iron it out.

If his inside defender's were 2 steps closer to where they should of been hunt would of had no room

The inside defenders shouldn't have to be covering Hunt himself on the inside at all. If he was going to miss Hunt he needed to make sure he missed Hunt on his (Hunt's) inside shoulder and forced him to the outside so the inside defenders would have time to slide into the gap Lawrence created rushing out. They had no time to properly cover with Hunt given a run off his inside shoulder. That try was on Lawrence.

I do get rowdy rushed up. I've only watched it once but my opinion at the time was that the inside defender's were lazy especially in relation to the outside defenders. Imo pushing up to cover the inside good practice

 

[Eddie]

I don't know how we are going to beat Souths.

However they are due for a loss.

That is really the only positive feelingI can find.

 

[Muffstar]

Our problem is we are consistently inconsistent. Until that changes we will just make up the numbers.

Don't forget Farah has been in the souffs system for 18 months.

Maybe he can give us some pointers on how they play lol

For the first 12 rounds of 2018 he has been in reserve grade.
He came back Rd 13 to fill in for Cook and then came here.
Unless he trains with the first grade team then I doubt it.

He was in their full time training squad ie top 30 so I'm sure he'd have some idea on how they work

As big as the Stains pack , if not even bigger

Cook is the problem for us , how the hell do we shut him down after the Burgis steam up the guts and cause the issues they will cause by themselves ….....

Happy,
We sacrifice one of our many plodders to take him out in the first 5 mins of play. Sure, we play with 12 for the remainder of the match but I still think we would be ahead?

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

If the Burgess players play dropsy like they did, was it against Cronulla during SOO and it was mainly Farah who saved them, then they won't have him this time. Cook must have a bad game sometime as well he is not as dominating as our DH.

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

We have two things in our favor this weeks Souffs 9 in a row means they are getting close to a loss (the loss they need to have ) and the other is we have performed pretty well against Souffs the past few games and our new spine appears to be jelling.

 

[matchball]

I can't see our pack get it over theirs.
Lawrence missing is crucial.
