3-2-1 v eels

[blacktip-reefy]

3. Graham (absolute standout)
2. Robson(for stopping 4 other trys)
1. Smith

The rest of the forward pack was ineffective even in the 1st half.
The tactic with Bakuya has been worked out & the coach needs to readjust. hasnt worked in 5 weeks. Sure he might be wearing out the 5/8 but its not enough.
The prop rotation was wrong & picking Tafua over Taga, Green, Cordoba is just dumb. His defense is abysmal.
The centres were looking dangerous but nobody knows how to support on the inside.
John Morris has had 5 ineffective games now.

The coach sent that team out under prepared in the 2nd half. From the coach & the captain down to physio they thought they had that game in the bag & played accordingly from Ben Roberts stroll through our forwards.

Gallen -10
Coach -20

I turned on the radio twice for a score check....both times best dropped the ball in the 20 secs I listened...once was apperently over the line or close to.

noice!

 

[chewsta]

Wade was a standout. Might be time for him to start. Bakuya had been less effective recently. Swap the two. Time for Green to get a bench spot to tighten up the ruck while Ross and Gibbs are off.

The next back to come in off their man leading to a try should be hung!

I couldn't be bothered.

Still pissed off.

3- Wade. He must be our starting lock. Gal needs to move to the front row our team is much better when this happens.
2- Pom
1- Wright

Echoing the above

3 - Graham
2 - Wright
1 - Smith

Looked like the only guys out there working to claw back. What a pissant f**king performance though, from the opening whistle they were playing such low intensity football, no one looked present. De Gois was doing some really good stuff in the middle, but no one was there to watch him, no one was there in support. As much as Wright was doing all the work his forwards weren't, his support play needs a lot of improving.

I love Gal, but I think we could really use Graham as a roving ball player, runner and support player...Gal just doesn't ahve that support game in him. Don't want him at prop, but I reckon give him and Smith and edge each in the second row and we'll be looking pretty f**kin good.

13. Graham
12. Smith
11. Gallen

Bukuya's solid, but that's our best back row option imo

 

[Special K]

Agreed with everything Reefy said - esp the Bukuya comment. It is getting up there with the Noddy inside ball.

3 - Graham
2 - Robson
1 - ... Dunno.

 

[PR_SHARK]

3 - Graham
2 - Robson (for his defence)
1 - Wright (pretty solid)

 

[DJShaksta]

I couldn't be bothered.

Still pissed off.

+1
FUGGEN inept 2nd half

 

[Tucky]

For what it's worth

3 - Graham
2 - Robson
1 - Degwah

 

[millersnose]

as per reefy

 

[newman]

Millers where you been?

 

[spider]

as per reefy

Disagree on the bakuya point though - he has been ineffective longer than 5 weeks.

 

[bluey]

I think most punters don't want to go back down the continual inside ball bakuya has to muck going for him to be a one stringer

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

i only say the second half so no points awarded.

dismal.

 

[Madsharkie]

crap second half... Anyways
3 - Hayne
2 - Wade
1 - Smith
-3 Everyone else

Agree with Wade to start Lock and use Bukuya for impact off the bench. We don't really want Bukuya doing a mountain of defence, rather have him using his talent to bust the line like earlier in the season.
Green could be good for defence off the bench.
