LIVE GAME Round 18 versus Dragons

[GNR4LIFE]

What exactly is Luai’s instagram story about?

It can only be a pot shot about how we perform without him in the team, otherwise it doesn’t really make sense

I saw another post about this. And yeah, I usually couldn’t give a toss what goes on on social media. And his post may or not have anything to do with us. But timing is everything. Even if what you do is innocent, you can’t be tone deaf and have no awareness that things can easily be misinterpreted.

I only noticed it this morning, but yeah the time stamps look like he posted it maybe 10 minutes post game. Strange timing to bash the club (assumption) after some of the stuff he’s said

I feel we need better assist coaches.

Same garbage year in year.

That is certainly a part of the problem.

 

[Oldman]

The attacking game from our backs is so pedestrian especially from right to left plays, they pass the ball out to Bula or Makasini who are still 5 metres from the defensive line making it so easy for the defence to slide across and cut them down.
Not once yesterday did either of our half’s take it to the line to commit the defence which in turn makes Bula’s involvement look very uninspiring when he is joining in the backline.
Doueihi is a very good NRL player

I think we know why the Warriors were willing to let Bunty walk. He's great as an impact forward off the bench for a 10-20 minute stint but he does become a massive liability on defense if he is on for any extended period. That and Terrell playing too many minutes is just asking for trouble towards the back end of games. Liddle isn't exactly the best DH but he was carving us up towards the end when they were just marching through our middle. Also was incredibly frustrating that we didn't exploit the fact that Cook was playing in the centers.

Cook playing in the centre’s and the issue is he would still be quicker than Makasini , Skelton and Turuva.
Our lack of speed is a big problem
Opposition defences can hold and slide knowing our blokes don’t have the speed to get around them

I don't think it's aimed at the club itself it's probably more to do with the people saying jock + AD are the best halves combination when people were going off early season hype. Bit similar to his 'chill all you idiots have work tomorrow' post aimed at the haters

If that’s true, just lol. He’s earring millions a year and will earn more in the next few years. And after that, will have a comfy media gig. His life is set. Yet, he concerns with himself with “haters” like a teenage girl. Clearly a level of insecurity there.

It's definitely immature but he's always been like that. I actually think he plays his best footy trying to prove haters wrong. If you look at that week after the panthers flogging and the 2024 origin decider. A bit like latrell

Absolutely it contributed significantly to derailing our season. They are human after all, and when your leader wants out 2 years early it changes mindset. No matter how much you try to get on with it, and convince yourself its all good, it simply isnt good. The captain, the leader, wants out. At the very least Luai needs to be stripped of the captaincy.

I can smell this being a Ben Hunt situation all over again at the Dragons. Booed and scapegoated. Luai is here another 18 months whether you like it or not. He hasn't betrayed anyone. His contract had clauses which everyone knew about. It wasn't a 5 year deal.

It’s a a common theme amongst that generation. Not to sound like an old fart, cos I’m not 40 yet. But this obsession people in their 20’s have with “haters”. Terrell posted one of his vlogs around the time he first signed with us when he was doing the long distance running. And he put some hip hop song over it, going on about haters and proving people wrong. Seriously, if you have to go out of your way to tell people how much you don’t care, guess what, you do care. Just get on with it.

 

[Speed2burn]

Watch Dragons finish higher than us next year

 

[Tigergoo]

Absolutely shattered after watching that rubbish last night. Im usually optimistic about us even after some of the thrashings we’ve had over the years, but this one eats ass. Its time to admit we are useless and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. It doesn’t matter who coaches us, what players we sign or where we play , there is just no fight or pride to be a Tiger. We are now looking at a bottom 3 finish with not 1 inch of improvement from the last diabolical 15yrs. And the worst thing is its going to get even uglier over the remaining games this year, you can bet your life they will give up. Its the one thing this club does well .

Where have our offloads gone?

Taken Long Service Leave

Is there a song about playing in reggies that we can send him

It is aimed at us that's why he was shooshing everyone at that famous one off game he had for us. The guys all bubble and no froth.

If it fired him up to play like that day every time I wouldn’t particularly care what he does online ( not that I’m losing too much sleep over this either ) ..,

I suspect tne rest of the year will be more the Knights game last week then that game though

Yeah I'm probably a bit younger than you but I'm no fan of it. Much prefer consistent put your head down attitude

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

This Knights went from being a basket case in 2025 under O'Brien to a semi finals bounds team in 2026 under a new coach...Why oh why can't the WT do the same!!!!....haven't we suffered enough over the last 15 years!

I heard someone say last night JL calls himself the CEO ( Chief Energy Officer) and he’s responsible for effort.
Pity about Newcastle but he be was out last night.
