LIVE GAME Round 9 vs Dragons

[JC99]

I just got here, so no idea what people are saying. Personally, I don’t care how invested he is currently, he’s wiped the club long term. He’s dead to me.

Until he's in another clubs jersey hope he plays well. After that I hope he bricks it and never plays well again

The way Latu is going that might not be until around the end of 2026.

He’ll be eligible for storm game but to be honest I think we have a better all round 17 with TDS in it as it gives api a break and he’s a real threat from 9. It’s tough to get Latu in there.

I’m there already there with him.

I'd love them to go back to bringing TDS on 15 minutes before and after halftime. It's worked well every time we've done it, including last week against the Sharks

Not sure why they've gone away from it. Maybe spooked from the Broncos game

Charlie Staines had a cracking game tonight. Naden and Bird were quite poor compared to how Starford has been going tonight too. Luckily Val had a shocker.

Galvin needs to be smarter. Was once in the second half he just had to dive on the ball for a repeat set and he tried to flick it off to deck. Just dumb plays too often

What I don't understand is where Charlie Staines has been for the last 5 weeks or whatever it has been and then just reappears out of the blue to score 2 tries and have his best game since he perforated his bowel nearly 2 years ago.

Injured for a few weeks. Hammy I think

They aren’t a decent side. Bottom 4, perhaps even bottom 2.

They are a decent side - one of the few sides that have beat Melbourne.

And one more thing about the presser. Benji is definitely a prickly dude when talking to the press. Even when we win. Needs to lighten up after a win.

No I like it. Why be all nice when we win but not nice when we lose? The press are scum and I like he is consistently letting them know it by not taking any of their shit and showing his disdain for them

Could be. I thought we really needed some flesh legs at start of second half last night.

I actually thought Douehi's defense was shit tonight, win is a win though

Doueihi probably lucky that St.George were busy hammering our right side, and with good reason I might add.

A number of Holmes errors saved us, particularly towards the end when we were looking pretty shakey.

They got off to a decent start like they usually do, now have gone off the boil…like they usually do. Halves are terrible and and an aging 1 and 9. Please don’t tell me you feel the need to talk them up to make us look better.

It’s a bit weird when he himself is a pin up boy in the media.

 

[hank37w]

Haven’t beaten them since 2018 when we actually done them twice in 3 weeks.
We are usually in with a puncher’s chance against them bar a couple of floggings, they don’t like our unpredictability.

Neither do I. 🤣

 

[Buttface]

He’s off contract so happy to let him go. Will AJ Kepoa get a start next week????

@Demps I need to borrow your red pen.

Red pen through AJ Flippers Kepoa.

 

[hank37w]

I’m not sure we would have beaten any other team tonight. Kyle Flanagan bombed a couple. But it doesn’t matter. This time of year we just need to keep stacking wins and 2 points. And avoid injuries and suspensions.

I don't recall a single penalty for a head contact all game.

I guess the Who Weekly readers missed this

He was injured. Benji said he had recurring hamstring injury (or could have been quad)

Thank you to Jayden Su'a for a great gift. We may not have got it done without your contribution to our scoreline.

I was a bit worried post match, seeing him walking around holding a baby.

I don't disagree with you here and take your point. Just on my comment, it was directly in relation to the footage of Galvin slumped in the sheds with some guy counselling him. Obviously we don't know what was being said or what was going on, but he looked terrible

Yes, I agree. The poor kid has made some big mistakes. He really misunderstood the dynamics of a senior dressing room. I feel for him.

Counselling?
Looked like idle chit chat to me and Galvin was facing away from the cam for the most part...the other bloke looked quite happy and cheerful

But yeah Galvin was in tears and was being counselled...lol.

Youre usually one of the more level headed posters here ks
