We need to learn

from this game.

Im of the opinion these 1st and 2nd tackle kicks wouldnt have happened if we were playing a top team. Benji's silly pass instead of diving on the ball when penrith dropped it are attitude things that seem to creep in when we play a lesser team. We should have put 50 past Penrith tonight, they were terrible.

But we won, and ill take that anyday.

Farah was great.

Fulton totally owned Waterhouse all night.

Galloway went forward well but his hands let him down a bit, he should imrprove on that next week.

Utai will be very lucky to keep his place with Lote coming back….he was poor tonight.

Its a shame Mitch Brown doesnt have the same involvement rate as Utai because his yards are just as good, he's better under the high ball and he's quicker. He just needs to hunt for the ball more.
 
I read in Big League today that Lote was likely to replace Ryan. Puh-lease! Ryan has been great and Utai has been woeful. And yes I agree about Brown, if he hunted for the ball more he could be something great, especially as a fullback.
 
ANother thing, why did Sheens move Utai from the right wing last week to the left this week? Im not blaming that on Utai's poor handling, but i thought it was weird he did that
 
Especially since Ryan was so good outside Lawrence. Perhaps that was the reason, he only moved Ryan off his favoured side because he thought he'd be more useful outside Lawrence?

Maybe his broken hand?
 
Was it a case of put your best finisher (Ryan) outside your best centre? Or maybe they planned most of the attack that way… Utai was horrible. I reckon bench him n use him as a back up forward for 2 15 min stints to give Keith or Gibbs a break. Keep utai off the wing. His yards are valuable but he always let's a try in with the kicks over his head.

Lote has to come in for Utai and make Utai the man to sit on the bench for 75 mins of the game unless a injury happens, the guy is going to cost us a semi 100% sure of it if he stays in the team, just asked the bulldogs fans who laughed their heads off at this joke signing
 
I reckon Utai was switched because of his height.. By putting him on the left wing, he had Brown there for some 'bomb' cover, but penrith still found Utai for Purtells try..

^ Lay off it mate, he's had a couple of shockers but before his injury he was very useful for us.

I agree that he is now past his use by date and old habits are back in his game.

Mate I was giving it to him tonight too, but he has not been that bad as a signing.
 
Yeh but only 1 try over utai but no one scored on top of him all year his been gud he had and off game but its all gud his hitups were gr8 lets just move on :smiley:😀
 
Utai is a dead set liability full stop, okay he had some strong games early in the season but that was month ago. Every team from now on will be targeting all game and will get plenty of reward for their efforts. How long can we keep Payten on the bench for??? He is broken, why is Sheens destroying his reputation??. Parra will be in with a massive chance next week if we do not lift 200%

oh please Ayshford was having to go on his wing to catch bombs because he had no chance too. this guy is not worth having out there if he can't catch a bomb to save his life.

This guy is up there with Fitzhenry the only differece is he can run stronger

yeah that would be nuts to replace Beau, who's really hit some good form. Lote in for Utai at this stage, especially if Utai does have a hand injury.

I wouldn't mind Brown at fullback, but Moltzen "appears" to be improving somewhat.
 
I was watching the after match shots off the dressing room I think that Sheens will be happy with the two points but he seemed to be giving them a fair dressing down post match
Our first 15-20 minutes was great it was like we picked up from where we left off v Saints
After that it was like they realised that they were going to win comfortably and got away from what was winning us the game
This is the difference between us and the Storm They don't deviate from what is working We want to play pretty which is nice when it comes off but can hurt us when it doesn't
