Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Sydney @ McDonald Jones Stadium

Compared to the 18 year old kid tearing this team a new asshole?

That's hardly an achievement, Luke Brooks regularly tears us a new asshole too

Sorry to make everyone's night worse but on stats and metrics we are a bottom 4-5 side on points scored and conceded.

What does that mean? We're only above the Bulldogs, Broncos and Tigers. Two of those teams are basically in a rebuild when we are meant to be at our peak. It's insanely concerning.

 

[Burns]

Why are we such a bad club. Is this 20
years now?

 

[slotmachine]

Wait until the game is over until our backrowers start getting repeat sets.

Smart

 

[K-Man]

What are these sets? What are we even trying to do out there? Saulo is hitting it up on the 4th or 5th tackle and all our key players are standing around with hands on hips. Slow, sideways garbage.

The game plan, if you can call it that, looks a decade old.

Boo them off. Totally insipid against an ordinary chooks side

 

[Loose Cannon]

Connor Watson is our most dangerous “middle third” ball player. Let that sink in.

 

[Knight Tales]

O’Brien has the look of a man who realised he is not cut out for the job. Gardiner could make a huge statement of intent this week and give him a month to save his job.

More sparkling attacking football

Alright, i’ll rephrase... the 18yr tearing teams apart, this ain’t the first night, also Hodgson is 80+ kilos easily

 

[GidleyTwinz]

Ponga had one beauty of a try assist, but outside of that don't be fooled - this has been one of his worst games.

I feel for Jones and Saulo too - come on when it's too late, that must be so deflating. Let them on early so they have the feeling of having an impact on the game.

Jones came on early a few weeks ago and we saw how that went.

If this club can't compete while Kayln is here, it says 100% more about the club than about the player.

 

[Burns]

O’Brien and Ponga proving not to be it in terms of building a club. Not sure what the alternative is.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

We have 1000 tackles on the Roosters line and come up with complete cabbage

 

[Jono078]

That's a totally different story to discuss.

I simply commented on Kalyn's efforts tonight, only you can control your own efforts.

 

[macavity]

At home against a team missing their entire first choice spine and this is what we come up with.

John Morris. This team would be playing way better.

 

[Jono078]

Connor Watson is our most dangerous “middle third” ball player. Let that sink in.

Keep it in perspective, he's been dangerous after the Roosters are just playing through the motions.

He's also looked more dangerous returning off the bench - funny that..

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

I swear we had more heart and will to win in 2016

Was anyone surprised though

 

[The Axe of Druss]

We really really miss Hunts yardage on kick returns
