'11 | R11 | Sun | Warriors 12-6 Rabbitohs | Mt Smart #nrlwarsou

[KeepingTheFaith]

Warriors forwards pretty dominant, but lacking the killer punch along with some desperate Rabbits defense and poor last tackle options.

Neither team looks like the have combinations which is odd. Warriors need to keep doing what they did in the first half and add a bit more polish at the end. Rabbits will be hoping to get a bit more ball because they have the players to score points.

Apart from him slowing down on the intercept (which everyone does on pretty much every long range try I've ever seen) I don't really get the bagging of Inu??

Worth remembering the intercept and the earlier drop near the line were only opportunities in the first place due to his own brilliance. The foot in touch I don't think he could've done much about, was his first step after catching the ball and was always gonna be on the line.

 

[Meth]

Terrible first half

 

[Usain Bolt]

Inu is the slowest winger in the NRL, fat merkin

 

[Jason Maher]

LOL@both teams

Even though he slowed down on the intercept, I think people overestimate his speed. He is slow.

The only thing about Inu that has annoyed me really is how casual he was in retrieving and returning the ball

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

If the possession evens up we should win this.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

I thought our first 10 minutes was some of our best stuff in ages. After Berrigan dropped the ball over the line it's like we remembered we don't know how to attack and it all got a bit messy.

 

[Fiddy]

Where do you guys see this ending? For my mind i think 26-6 or something like that to the warriors. I really think souths will struggle to recover and warriors were pulling away there in that last 10.

 

[_snafu_]

Cripple fight.

But would you agree that in 99% of those instances they are aware of who is around them.

 

[BunniesMan]

Correct call was made in the end... Not sure what your problem is

Yes but a couple of minutes were wasted, it was hardly the same as Hayne when there was millmetres in it. Half Inu's foot was on the line. Touchy should have pulled it up and let us get on with the game.

 

[Meth]

I think it will be 18-10 Warriors

He is slow as hell, but he clearly slowed up over the last 20.

I haven't noticed any casualness, just McIvor repeatedly calling him casual. As you say, the fact Inu moves slowly in everything he does isn't casualness, it's slowness.

Still a number of very clever touches and still bends the line even with his "casual" returns.

 

[BunniesMan]

Great defense but messy with the ball, that's the opposite of our usual style. Warriors have been missing some execution.

2nd half either they start executing or we wake up, stop making simple mistakes, get our fair share of possession and score a few tries on them.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

I would say in 100% of instances they are aware of who they think is around them. You never see a player do a full 180 to check directly behind them.

 

[Izz]

I'm pretty sure if Inu could run faster he would. He sloooow.

 

[Fiddy]

Last nights game and this game minus souths effort in defense has really been bad footy eh!

I don't mind the casualness that McIvor is talking about. He can be as casual as he likes under the high ball- so long as he defuses them, which he generally does.

I am really only talking about one incident that irked me- reminded me too much of Hohaia. He got trapped in goal, needlessly. No biggie though

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Honestly I'm starting to think that Inu's whole career has been ruined by an aesthetically deceptive running style and a lack of angry facial expressions. Haven't noticed this much talked about "casualness", just a slow winger with a high skill level doing what he can.
