Normans kickings game was piss. One good kick every 3 isnt NRL standards. Reynolds on other hand puts 4 out of 5 good kicks.
When Norman early in game kicked on the 4th with no wingers but managed to pick out the fullback I shook my head. How useless

Easy to pressure him when he's the sole kicker...you literally just said Gutho isn't a six, how can you possibly turn around and give it to the only kicker in the side?

It wasn't his best kicking performance but it wasn't piss either.

French doesnt impress me. Is he any better then his first season? Id say no.

If we where smart while the ships rocking id throw 1 mill at turbo tom and 700k at his brother.

More Sea Slugs out Parra way? I think not. Anything from the peninsula is poison for us.

plenty to discuss about what we did wrong (basically the Jennings and Hoffman had shockers!!) but the Darwin game in the hot weather and the 5 day turn which basically meant we only had Tuesday to prepare (not much is done the day before the game), probably also needs to be factored in.

Yep, me too. That was embarrassing.

Lost momentum even when early . Extra run makes extra 10mtrs.
Some of Normans kicks where borderline a shithouse. People need to remember it isnt Jeff Robson on 150k. This guys on close to a million. I expect him to be in top 5 players every single game.

We got smashed you dope. How can you say he was really good.


This post sums up the stupidity of eels fans and the reason they haven't won a title in over 30 years

We got smashed because we conceded 5 tries on the right edge you walnut.

We scored 5 tries against the competition leaders, our attack was way better.

Your post sums up the reactive, emotional stupidity of the average deathrider...which you'll find is ultimately the reason we haven't won anything in thirty years. Dumb f**k deathriders like you have the right to vote for some reason and as a result of people wanting to stay in power in the face of that quick fix attitude, we destroyed the club sacking coaches and booting players whilst still paying for them...

As soon as he and Alvaro went off our middle want to shit and then they exposed us as easily as shit on the edges.

It was the king error from dummy half on their try line and then Hoffman getting dragged back into the in goal which changed the whole game.

No it was our utter inability to defend on the right that changed the whole game.

Narrowing it down to two moments is pointless

I'm worried about Gutho.... There are times when he looks like he wants to make something happen, maybe switch the point of attack or he spots a half gap that he wants to take advantage of but he's just not quick enough. Last year he was making those plays. Hopefully it'll come with more metres under his belt on the knee that got operated on....

He won’t be back to that kind of form until next season unfortunately

Seriously what was that defensive play from French? It looked like a Paul Carrige inspired delayed safety blitz. It was so bizarre that it looked kind of cool.

Borderline shithouse or borderline a shithouse?
