LIVE GAME Round 16 v Raiders

[Halbrowne61]

He was originally awarded the penalty for that right?

Yes, but he stupidly had that reversed. Silly play !

 

[Tito Santana]

And tackles like a lock forward!

Yeah he smacks guys. Real nuggety build. A real handful.

 

[LARDS]

Seyfarth 2 runs for 17 meters 👏

And he scored half of our tries

 

[gallagher]

Yes, but he stupidly had that reversed. Silly play !

Up there with Lomax on Wednesday.

 

[Suzie-Q]

am i the only one who thought api was kinda quiet he also looked very tired at about the 50th min

No. I think that was when I started looking for TDS to come off the bench. Then I started swearing and nearly got disowned by hubby 😳

 

[Tom Shines]

Yes, but he stupidly had that reversed. Silly play !

Yeah … pretty dumb …

Skleton hasn’t looked great since he came back from his injury compared to how he was going well early … not many are though

TEAM STATS

We had …

Nearly 4 mins more possession
400 more run metres
100 more post contact metres
21 more tackle breaks
4 less ruck infringements
1 interchange up our sleeve

We hardly lost a stat but we just cannot take advantage at the moment.

🤬🤬🤬🤬

We have no attack....its all ad lib...they make itnup as they go along...it gets you close but its not a winning formula

 

[Halbrowne61]

Bula had a slightly poor game but that's unusual
Douehi had his best game this year also unusual
Go figure !

Unfortunately Douehi is currently unable to position his winger as he always cuts back inside. I’d hate to be playing outside him, maybe when May fit he goes to centre and AD to wing.

 

[LARDS]

Maybe we shouldn’t be challenging so early in the game. It’s cost us 2 weeks in a row.

Our team should be banned from challenging in the first half

God knows when May will be ready …

We blew that game in the end ......Benji finger needs to be pointed at his own chest for the loss
Must admit the Sione starting ploy seemed to work

 

[Wiz]

We have Titans and Manly twice.
Should get a couple of wins there.

Titans are our bogey team. They always beat us.

 

[Tucker]

I said a great job building the team culture.
He is clearly not on the same level overall as Cleary, Bennett, Bellamy but he has managed to get more wins than the last 3 spoon years, that’s a clear improvement and he has until 2026 imo

He has a far better team this year.
A pass mark is several more wins than last year.

 

[liltiger]

Dickhead Smithies headbutted Pole and split himself open

Don't forget the elbow in the tackle to open up Sayfarth

 

[Droppy05]

I’d say a learning coach, he’s got a lot of ground to make up, not sure all the old boys around him are helping or not.
Most disappointing thing for me is, I think, 6 losses by 6 or less points.

Should not be learning at club's expense. That's for assistant coaches not for premiership points.Benji needs 10 years like the other 1st grade coaches that have come through.

 

[69-05-41]

Soooo three penalties in a row auto sinbin...is that still a thing? Even if it isn't, someone want to tell me how Raiders don't get a bin for about 40 ruck penalties.

That's the old rule, it was reinterpreted today at 7:55pm and is no longer applicable, but it might be back next week or whenever it suits the NRL

Exactly right D but he is learning on the job, so does he go or does he stay. Don’t think he’s in danger this season but …….. 2026 ???!

 

[Oldman]

Seeing Latu run tonight, honestly he hasn't done anything at all yet. But it makes me personally feel fine about Galvin going.

Agree
Last year I couldn’t see what all the hype was about him,
But after his last 2 games I get it 👍
It’s a pity we don’t have any speed on our left side because every opportunity he and Luai create is wasted with Doueihi’s lack of speed to take advantage of.
And Bula just seems to be 1/2 a metre behind where he should be to make a break.
Recruitment needed.

 

[SeanT]

Gave Benji a chance but sorry this attack has been the same for 3 years now. Effort is better but 5 Losses in a row comes down to the coaching.

We need a new coach who knows how to put structure in as well as have a handle on the bench.

He's not up to it.

 

[Droppy05]

He has a far better team this year.
A pass mark is several more wins than last year.

I think a pass mark would be to finish in top 12.
