Round 20 v Rabbits

[carltonsouth79]

Happy with the effort from a lot of the boys. Ellis and Burns have been solid. Ford the best forward for mine. Hunt creating some good things and Bud has some class touches. Beale having a dig. Always going to be a big ask but hanging in there.

I’m not going to sit here and say let’s support our juniors.. getting smashed at will here tonight If they are not up to it they shouldn’t be in 1st grade.. seriously a flawed team we are..

Right on cue
Many on here could not wait to get that boot in

 

[OneEyedDragon]

Did I hear some say "it could be worse?"

 

[mickeylane]

For hose watching closely, Andrew McCulloch who supposed to be an experienced hand, has given away at least two very ordinary set restarts. Quite frankly, I don't want him in the team. We can get someone better

So your saying he should be a superstar right out of the box? No development needed at all.

I’ll say it again what development did Sam Walker or Nathan Cleary have .. when They got to 1st grade they immediately made an impact .. Sullivan on the other hand is not our future 7 and happy to be held to it years down the track ..he may play 1st grade but won’t be leading us to any glories..

 

[Red V for life]

Not a Norman fan, but I thought he stopped the momentum in that try just before halftime.

Overall, pretty happy with the first half all things considered.

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

At least we got a couple so far. Keep it going, chance the arm we can’t hold them out just have to try to keep the ball and score a few to make it less ugly.

 

[Dragons4me]

The boys are having a go. Can't ask for more than that. Positional kicking by Hunt has been great. Got to keep that up in the 2nd half. That's the challenge but they're taking it to them.

Cmon serious now you can not afford at the NRL Level to be putting kids in who are totally out of depth.. Sloan on the other hand looks very capable

Yeah mate.
Sad thing is, I really think with a bit more experience out there, we may well win this.

They are having a dig, and I said pre-game I wont be slamming any of the 17 tonight.

Limit souths time with the ball and field position or they eill score at will.

Maybe you could restrict your posts to the Negative ONLY thread? The kid has had about 3.5 games in FG and you are writing him off already. Harsh.

Neither has played in a side this bad. He’s played barely any reserve grade and ideally would be beginning his career in a stronger side with a bigger pack.

They both walked into quality teams.

Fed dinkum...why not for experience
How else do they get it and when should you debut them
Everyone said our season had gone
We have suspensions
What do you suggest the coach should do... forfeit
I think it’s great to see them have a go

You're right, but the problem is we only have Hunt capable of doing that. He's gotta do it on his own.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

We had them on the rack, then Fuimaono f**ked the whole game up on his own.

 

[Mitty266]

Good observations there Mickeylane… and our alternative is to keep Norman in 6? Those comparisons are apples to oranges. Sullivan is playing his 3rd 1st grade game against one of the top 4 sides in the comp and he is supposed to be lights out with what he has around him??, Barr Ben hunt.

 

[Trifili13]

Norman did well to hold SuA up for so long, the problem is no urgency from anyone to help out. The good teams would have had 3 other players there and no way would they have allowed the ball to be grounded.

Not that I think it changes the game but Hunt put in a good kick that found the ground but given our luck it rolled over the dead ball line. Cook who was trapped on the last puts a nothing kick in and instead of one more bounce and going dead it holds up.

The frustrating part out of this is it’s the experienced, regular first grade players who are playing worse than the inexperienced players

Spot on. It’s like we’re cursed
