I'm assuming Danish is trolling, because none of it was really Soward's fault... the delivery out of dummy half was a mess and Parra were intent on pressuring Soward as soon as he got the ball.

 

[Pete Cash]

Yes that collection of unidentifiable pixels is all the proof i need

 

[Hindyscrack]

4 metres at least.

just makin sh1t up again skeepe?

 

[Danish]

Anyone with IQ, just rewind and look. Hayne makes the tackle on the 4th, then runs from marker for the charge down.

A massive effort as Soward is standing literally 20m behind the dummy half

I'm not blaming soward for his drop goal shots. I'm saying that a SOO level 5/8 should be touching the ball more than just on the last when kicking in golden point.

you wont see great, dominant halves like thurston, Lockyer or Cronk taking a back seat in those situations. they'll touch the ball most tackles, direct the play, and try and be constantly looking for an opportunity for the win.

Soward has been involved in a few pressure situations like that one in his time and often stays well clear of the ball unless he is taking a field goal shot.

Yeah we get a much clearer picture than that mess.

 

[Parramatta1947]

Fair result in the end - I don't think we deserved to lose but really, we blew a chance to win it. You should never switch off for 5 minutes because good teams punish you.

Refereeing in general was rubbish but thankfully neither one is in control of Origin.

lol, have you seen Dragons play in the past 3 years?

Soward was doing the right thing in golden point, just kept putting it in the corners, as Dragons do. Did the same thing against Tigers in the prelim, didn't get greedy, kept putting it into the corner & waited til he was in the right position. Just never got in good position tonight.

 

[Danish]

obviously isnt the best tactic in golden point considering its never worked for them

 

[God-King Dean]

lol, must have been the wrong thing to do in the game that got em into the Grand Final as well.

 

[Danish]

didnt they get the shot off the back of Marshall kicking out on the full? Not sure how "kicking to the corners" came into play there

Tigers made a mistake, Dragons didn't. Just keep chipping away.

 

[Charles Bronson]

salty rorters fans staying salty

imagine my suprise...

 

[innsaneink]

I'll take your word for it.

You most definitely will

They mentioned it in commentery,....he was directing his forwards to go exactly where he wanted to kick from

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep.... massively offside :sarcasm:

I hate when the markers aren't back with the ref.

 

[Danish]

they said thats what he was doing.... in effect he never touched the ball and then stood 15+m behind the play and roosted the ball downfield.

Dominant halves in pressure situations direct the troops from the frontline and get their hands on the ball as much as possible. They don't just stand back telling forwards to take hit ups.

 

[God-King Dean]

I can't understand how people can bag Hayne so much. The expectations on him are ridiculous.
