Match Discussion: Round 17 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Yosh]

All three tries coming from their last tackle plays.

Starling and Sasagi great there. They want us to hurt don't they?

Oh well, at least last week was nice I guess

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Why was everyone wanting Dom back again?

He's been good until just now. Way better than Marzhew.

It was Dom against 3 of them there. We should be locking up the ball there. Everyone struggles against the Raiders so Meh. They ain't making any mistakes either. Hopefully we can get a try before half time.

Shows its just poor coaching here at Newcastle.

We were never going to go close in this. We’ve gotten away with not having a forward pack for a few games against teams that also had injuries but can’t expect to compete with the Raiders pack with 1 middle forward.

Sasagi taking this game personally

That's why

 

[Zoidberg]

First mistake by the Raiders after we contested a kick. Need a try here.

they are absolutely steam rolling us.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Horrible last 2.

 

[Tom155]

God we are so bad

 

[macavity]

Our inability to get any ball runners one on one is absurdly bad

 

[Rod]

Cogger is back to standing too deep.

Cogger is back to standing too deep.

He is running Lucas into three defenders every time

Schiller is clearly the one that will give way when the time comes.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Cambra have had a bunch of players come good all at once. I can't tell most of them apart but they all play the same style, fast, powerful and high intensity. Having a crop of player come on like this is how premierships are won. We haven't had a group like that in way too long.

 

[Tom155]

Probably won’t capitalise but we continue to show that contesting kicks is much better than not for us

 

[Knight Tales]

KP looking for that ball after that challenge? LOL.

 

[Yosh]

I know we losing but I'm so happy to see us challenging kicks. So refreshing. Also I'm in awe of how smooth our attack looks with Crossland at 13. I don't believe I'm going to use this work but Crossland looks 'classy' in the 13.
