LIVE GAME Round 11 vs. Dolphins

[Kaito]

100% you look at the stats we should have put 30 on them. It's not the players it's the lack of an attacking plan.

We had 55% possession, 90% completion vs 67%, they missed 44 tackles and 27 ineffective (vs 25 and 7 for us).

Bud killed.everything that went his way. In the first
5 mins he through hospital passes out back to Galvin
without even looking. He can't kick high enough too,
No.time for chasers to get under it, he's hopeless

 

[tigertragic]

It was off. JMKs chin and chest

I thought it also hit his bicep that is a knock on in most occasions

 

[Tiger Woods]

The only thing that can save the tigers this season & possibly salvage 9th is if the panthers release both luai & turuva early
🤣🙏🤣

 

[Tucker]

Galvin needs to be held accpuntable as well. 7 tackle resets, running sideqays, kicking to no one. Rubbish. Might need a stint in reggies

I wouldn’t put him in Reggie’s, that will stunt his development.
Flegg are going alright. That’s where I’d get him to have a reset for a while.

 

[Kaito]

It was off. JMKs chin and chest

It doesn't matter where it hits, so long as it touches
the opposition player the ball is called dead

 

[bradexl]

Alan Jones? The steaming pile of sh*t who took Balmain from perennial semi finalists to also-rans in a season? All Alan Jones is good for us a rogering in a London public toilet.

You obviously don't know him.

 

[Tcat]

I do hope that Benji in the press conference queries the double knock on the resulted in a dolphins try.

Don't hold your breath. He will be happy with the effort tho.

 

[StarswithStripes]

Bula has the heart of latrell it seems. Only sits on the right side of attack (bad coaching) but should be in there looking for the ball more

I’d like to see him back himself more and not pass as often. I’d also like to see him backing up through the middle more like hammer was tonight.

 

[stephen]

This is it. I agree wholeheartedly. What I have noticed though is Richo puts all the pressure of the football results on Benji. Reckon Richo knows Benji is not the right man for the job. Richo will sack him in or after 2025. Needs to improve financials to do it.

Best thing would've been for us to somehow jag Bennett & Benji do a proper apprenticeship. That's assuming Benji could stick swallow his pride. Seems no chance now as he's committed to Souffs?

 

[Todd Packer]

Our centres could be Faataape and Casey next week when Olam and Naden are suspended.
May God have mercy on our souls.

That was my understanding too. But when it was confirmed as a try I assumed that I'd had it wrong for all these years.

 

[Tucker]

No one is saying there awesome. They play to their ability and by rights should have got smashed

They didn’t get smashed because their opposition were trash in attack and failed to complete 13 sets from 41. They had 44 missed tackles and 13 errors.
Had we shown some discipline we probably beat them due to how shit they were.

 

[TYGA]

The only positive is think next year. Swap Luai and Bud + Turuva and Naden. Unfortunately you can’t rely on juniors yet we have to buy first graders. They have to get active in recruitment it’s that simple.

There needs to be a lot of players moved on starting shortly. We. Can’t wait until years end as we need mass changes.

 

[Qwertyrick]

Naden, stains hahahaha fmd
Even Bula got a long way to go

 

[lathami]

We we weren't good enough, but how about at 12-6
Kasey badger in the bunker again missing the double
knock on. We had scored with 1 in the bin too smh

Yeah and the peanut gallery on fox saying it was of his chest?!? Hit his chest and his upper arm which is a knock on!! Pathetic bias commentary again from the fox tools, Corey Parker please how many sighs per game. F me!!
Also the Shepard that Kepoa showed fir the last try, ohh that right Badger….
Look we have massive problems with scoring points and that’s why we are losing!
But the eels are meant to be in the top 8 and nobody’s death riding them like the fox team does us, FFS we are the wooden spooners.
What about when fidow makes the break and passes it to us! When Corey Parker gets off his knees and is wiping his face about Fidow. Imagine if we made the break and passed it to the opposition, what would he say about us???

 

[tigertragic]

Poor read from API leaves a big gap in our line and they score

There should have been someone else in the line near him, not 10-15 metres away

 

[jadtiger]

That was my understanding too. But when it was confirmed as a try I assumed that I'd had it wrong for all these years.

No you are right but i can't wait to hear Anusleys defence of Kasey's ruling if anybody pushes the issue (he will just ignore it if he can)

 

[Trevros]

The first flogging is just around the corner my mistake was overestimating the dolphins. Any other side plays the dolphins tonight wins by 20+

 

[StarswithStripes]

Stains get space on wing. Pulls up. I’m starting to think he might not be a the speedster were led to believe

I’m tired of seeing him and others putting on a Benji step every time they take the ball up. They lose any momentum with their return or hit up. Just run hard and straight!

 

[Tucker]

Why don’t you surprise us and tell us of any positives or how we were gypped on occasion?
Hard to be a tough guy without ever saying anything of a positive nature?

What were your positives mate?
They tried hard?
I am positive when I see things that are done well.
Our attack sucks dead dogs balls and our defence is just as shit as last year.
Sam Fainu is a positive. He worries the defence. Ailamalo is a handful out wide that’s another positive. Api doesn’t die wondering. That’s pretty much it.
