LIVE GAME Round 10 v Storm

[Camel2281]

So? We had him under contract

He would have pulled a Galvin and caused problems

No, cos he actually wanted to stay. We punted him.

We might be down on troops but that isnt an excuse to conceed 96 points in just two weeks.

Yes it is considering the quality of their replacements.

 

[hodgo]

One thing I noticed when looking at the stats was none of our back 5 averaged over 10m a run other the tmay. A big concern is turuva he is averaging considerably less carries over the last few games.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I’d say the only positive out of today is thank God we wrapped Taylan up.

 

[Camel2281]

No, cos he actually wanted to stay. We punted him.

He also wanted us to punt our club captain and best player so he could have his spot

 

[Tito Santana]

Dont be so distraught Guys

1. API
2. Bula
3. Adam D
4. Samulla
5. Twally
6. Terrell
7. Makasini
   
   All to come back into this side

Glad someone said it. Bar Makasini, all good enough to play origins.

We need some more quality outside backs, a gun back up hooker and an extra gun back rower.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He also wanted us to punt our club captain and best player so he could have his spot

Yeah, nah

 

[Camel2281]

I agree. Its time to get rid of this nonsense that Madden needs to be half back, his defence stinks and he is indecisive. it is time to put Latu Fainu back to halfback and Madden to KOE. If you are looking at an alternative to Hope , couldn't possibly do any worse with Joesse Lanyon , his last couple of games in KOE have been good. Maybe roll him into the mix somehow.

I'd be starting Latu at 9 until Api returns and have Charlie Murray on the bench to give him a spell and then add to the middle rotation. Pushes hope out of the 19. Wouldn't mind seeing Javon Andrews get a run in first grade next week instead of Madden

 

[Bellend]

We mostly all agree we were not good enough today , same as last week , BUT ur blind if u don’t see these refs and bunker are selecting teams to win games , we got a lot of bad calls .
BUT if u don’t believe me , luck at the calls the rosters got last night , a dropped ball over the line but still awarded a try , then the try in the corner were he ran behind his team mate , but try given , we have seen them picked up where the defender was no hope , yet they were diss allowed

We should be blaming the Ref for poor effort last two games. Shite football is Shit Football.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

OK, looks like it's safe to enter the forum now, a lot of unhappy chappies after 2 big losses on the trot.

But honestly, with all the quality players missing from the side, deep down did we really have a hope in hell.

Thankfully only 1 more game to the bye when we can lick our wounds and hopefully regroup.

 

[Telltails]

Terrell comes back will help with the ruck defence as opposed to Bunty the human sieve Afoa

I guess all those asking why Benji has not used Bunty was answered

No coincidence our best period today was when Hope was off the field, the guy is just a reserve grade bum

Well yeah it is - thats how a salary cap sport works. That is the excuse otherwise the Newtown Jets could win the nrl.

 

[stevied]

1 missed tackle, 23 made is reasonable from a half.
Luai was 12 made, 6 missed.

Let's face it. Some people like Madden, some don't. I'd even venture to say that some have it in for Jock and can't wait to call him a reserve grader. He was great when paired with Douehi and the forwards were doing their job. He's playing in a different side now and the cohesion has gone out the window. Given the lack of go forward, I thought he did alright today.

I am thinking AD is the key with his size and running game

Too true. Why has all the resilience gone out the window? Has Benji become too matey and soft again?

 

[mtd#2]

Yes it is considering the quality of their replacements.

If 96 points is acceptable because of our depth, then it says alot about the reality of where we are as a club.

 

[mtd#2]

To go from conceding 16 points a game to 48 is inexcusable.

We had 5 players out not 19.
