LIVE GAME Round 20 vs. Rabbitohs

[Vicious]

He is an instinctive ball runner. Not great as a playmaker.

That may be true, but as he experienced player and our number 7, shouldn’t Sezer be taking a lot more control and putting a kick in on the 5th tackle occasionally?

Galvin needs to learn to kick on the 5th - I know it looks entertaining when he throws passes at the line on the 5th but your job is to kick as the half

Sezer as the senior half needs to take more ownership. It shouldn’t be on Galvin to do everything.

Is a game of touch footy.
Difference is Souths have players running forward not sideways and keep their shape.
We just look to be watching and waiting.

The 2 times we went straight in attacking territory we scored.

Attacking straight opens up gaps defence can't slide. Hope Stef leads the pack in the second half.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

Come on Benji put Miller and L Fainu on and let the kids play. What’s to lose

 

[cktiger]

If only we could learn to wrap up the ball.

 

[Tigerdave]

Going alright with less ball than them.

If we can stop the mistakes and get some penalty square ups, we can win this.

Down by 4. If Bateman doesn't play we lead by 20. His raked ball on the 4th when we were flying completely changed the game. Their defence is as bad as ours, so plays like that will decide this game.

Side note...David Klemmer is the softest front rower of all time. He is all about self preservation

100%. Richo needs to send Bateman and Klemmer to an aged care facility.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Very easy to blame age for our position on the ladder but I'm filthy on our older blokes again today. Doueihi, Sezar, Bateman etc... just adding nothing (at best).

 

[Yossarian]

A f

Souths 3 penalties and 2 set restarts to our 1 set restart. Souths are getting away with murder in the ruck and don't they know it.

Also one successful captain's challenge. This bozo has given us basically nothing all half. A fair shake from the referee and we're in business.

 

[BalmainJnr]

Get more Flegg eligible players in our NRL team pronto!
It also looks like Stef has made a decision on his contract.

 

[Mccarry]

Moments of despair and frustration followed by moments of joy watching adlib football.

Our contact is pillow soft.
Their line speed is non existent

Stef started horrible and then decided to play… hard to understand what is wrong with him.

Tallin… Tallin… oh my. Welcome to first grade young man.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Taane Milne has 3 try assists. Let that sink in.

Age is the reason we are at the bottom. The age of the older guys that is. They are the ones that let us down....note, I know that's what your saying brother, and I agree. Youngsters is the way

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Your hate boner for Bateman is one of the most pathetic things to ever grace this forum and I’m including your love boner for the likes of Brooks and Seyfart.

Grow TF up, you’re pathetic.

To be fair, Bateman is shit, kills plays and gives away stupid penalties. I wouldn’t say I have a full hate boner but I do have an annoyed semi. Maybe a frustrated chub.

Anusley and his hand picked team of referees know how to manage games

Agree, but I think he will grow in that area

 

[Tucker]

That may be true, but as he experienced player and our number 7, shouldn’t Sezer be taking a lot more control and putting a kick in on the 5th tackle occasionally?

Yes. However he somewhat gets starved of the ball as Galvin constantly has it.
One good try has come from it. If we keep going to his side we need more.

 

[BalmainJnr]

He is Taane Meninga today.

 

[Telltails]

I love how Galvin, TDS, Luke L, and Bula are playing. High energy instinctive footy. They earned at least a couple of six agains... but no.

Gotta disagree on the Bateman stuff re. That strip . I thought it was a legit strip and could have gone both ways .
I think the middles are really slow to shift , and all players are guilty of not wrapping the ball up .
Nearly all thier tries were in the back of a late offload leading to a try directly or momentum off the next play the ball .
Chee Kam is just sucking in defenders and consistently getting his arm free . .
We are really poor around ruck control , and line speed .
We need to fix it for any chance this second half
