Game Day: First Semi vs Cows

[Frailty]

Sin bin every day of the week and f**king lucky not to be a penalty try.

Personally, I would have preferred the penalty try.

Be up by only 2 points, but we’d have had 13 on the field.

Thanks guys, I trust the judgements of who has said it was a sin bin.

But I will not back down on Hynes kicking. Poor old Willem Dafoe was losing it.

Without seeing a replay could connor have simply grounded the ball just on halftime instead of trying to pick it up?

No, it was shit. It was giving up 10-20 metres each time.

What did he have to say about Brailey’s Aaron Woods impersonation for Dearden’s try?

and positional play. I was highly disturbed about our game plan because of it.

 

[Ozzi_78]

I have no words but to say we conceded 32 points in a semi final. Only twice did we concede more this year. We saved it for a semi final. We got what we deserved.

I was in the dunny when that happened, all I got was "f**king terrible"

Yes. This is why it’s a specialist position. Iku grounds that.

I don’t understand why we give Tracey such a free pass. Yes he is a goer and runs hard but I’d put miller above him for that role.

Their plan to kick constantly to ronaldo worked, he was completely gassed by the end of the game with the amount of work he had to do.

Wait till you see the replay.
Dearden cuts back and ole Brails takes a step back, throws his hands in the air and says “not mine”. Dearden just waltzed right through.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Trent Robinson loved that game.

I wont be watching a replay. It's a personality trait issue. I never watch a replay when we lose.

I thought Miller should have kept his spot at fullback but I've questioned Fitz a few times with selections this year and he's got pretty much everything spot on so i figured to not question him this time haha. I was 50/50 on ika or tracey but i said the same thing to my mate that ika scores that try too. Hindsight's a wonderful thing, unfortunately in this case.

Sifa needs to be used as more than a battering ram out of our own end if we are going to keep playing him in the centres too. Dunno how much of getting completely burnt by Hiku was down to that ankle injury but I've never thought of Hiku as any sort of speedster and he got around him way too easily.

As I said, picking Tracey was a mistake
Specialist winger should have been picked. If he is in next week they are gone

 

[Frailty]

Tracey isn’t a winger. He isn’t the worst player there and can handle regular season but isn’t good enough in these games.

Kennedy was good and bad. It’s a double-edged sword whether he should be there. It’s a tough ask to return from injury straight into a game like that. Our attack looked a lot better than it had.

Pretty disappointed in Finucane’s game. Was pretty poor.

It’s a real opportunity lost, which is really disappointing. Some really poor defence which the sharks had prided themselves on this season.

Yep. I love watching our defence live, tonight there was one glaring person moving up not in synch, it was Dale every time. I'm not saying he caused any problems, but the fact 'the wall' wasn't the same as what I have seen made me question as to why

Not even close to a penalty try given Val had already lost the ball before Tracey touched him. It was a touch unlucky in that he went for the body contact but possibly slipped and grabbed at him, but it was minimal contact and Holmes milked it almost as good as his first half dive…

If there is one thing the Cowboys have perfected its the dive and who would blame them after Klein fell so badly for it against the Tigers.
