2015 R4 v Bulldogs

[bubblesunlimited]

Can anyone confirm if the field goal was kicked on tackle 7. Some people at the ground last night were going bananas about it.

 

[gronkathon]

Yeah it was but there is a technicality in the rule that allows the officials to call a zero tackle in that situation.

I was more concerned with the obvious penalties Kline refused to blow at the death but that is standard I guess.

Still I woke up confident about the direction of the team. We almost won with a reserve grade bench and 20 odd year old halves.

Last night did prove to me Santi should not be in the team ahead of Lovett. He is too costly to carry when he cannot hit in tackles or make yards after contact

When Brookes attempted a field goal it hit a tigers player , so the accidental offside gave them a zero tackle.

 

[macnaz]

Golden point. I have us winning 4 out of 15 . Hopeless.

 

[gronkathon]

Dallas Graham apparently done for the season. Shoulder injury

 

[macnaz]

Any news on Nofo 's arm Gronk ? Looked like he broke it when he was taken of , but he came back to sideline for a bit and it wasnt splinted or iced up so hopefully it isnt serious .

 

[gronkathon]

He is saying burner

BUT he left in a sling so may be something more serious

Sironen is definitely growing into his role way way better this year.

3 Tedesco
2 Farah
1 Brooks

Lawrence is slightly better than last season.

Which is not good enough given he was carrying injuries last year and is injury free now.

 

[Eddie Lab]

hard to give 1,2,3 after failing so badly in that game after streaking ahead.

3. Brooks, 3 try assists and scored another
2. Tedesco, 2 tries and was solid
1. Galloway, filled in as work horse.

gotta say I'm disappointed in Farah. Brooks and Mitchell are still learning the ropes where as Farah has the experience which should have pulled us though with better kicking and decision making in the last 20 minutes.

onto the eels.

1 Sironen

I was ready to give Farah a point but like has been stated above, he has enough experience and should have a cool enough head that we should've closed out that game. It was in the bag and 2 points that could definitely come back to haunt us. Why the hell are the Wests Tigers so bad are being unable to close out games that are all but over. It brought back the pain of the 2011 a Warriors final. So frustrating.
I think Lovett should definitely be getting picked over Santi. I think Galloway seemed nowhere near as effective without Woods on the field and still cannot get on board with Lawrence. It would be nice to have a centre that actually looks capable of breaking the line or scoring a try... He does not !!!
After the game against Souths I still felt good about it, I didn't on Friday night. We simply should've won that game.
The young guns all definitely looked better. The future is exciting !!! It's great to see Sironen starting to come good.

I ranked Sue a 2 but I still think we are missing really good second rowers, both in attack and defence. Siro looked good for a while the other night and Sue had a good game but we need guys like Cordner and Guerra who are consistently good.

While I'm at it we need another top flight centre. Lawrence has improved this year but both he and Simona have been pretty quiet so far this year. Don't like the guy that much but Ferguson would have been a good pick up.

Still, they guys have shown a lot the past two weeks....

Also honourable mention to Galloway!

Out forward pack has been by far the strongest part of our game and is what has been keeping us in the game.

Moses and Brooks have performed like you would expect from 2 20 year of rookies with some good stuff and lots of ordinary stuff.

Our backs have been servicable without being great with Teddy being the only one who looks threatening on a regular basis.

I was really inpressed with the way the forwards, particularly the young forwards, stepped up with Woods missing.

Is there a bigger pack than ours in the comp except Dogs?
Our pack is massive this year with Sue, Sironen and Taupau in backrow.
Probably biggest pack we have ever had.

Plus Lodge, Ava and Buchanan.
