Sloane's performance in defence was very ordinary. He does not want to put his body on the line.
Idc what anyone says Riki is a cowardDid you notice Jordan Rikki's miss on a power running Suli. Rikki has more than 50 games. He must be crap....."get rid of him Kevvie"![]()
None ...... He needs to go so they can get on to building a team without him ......We really need to not renew Hunt. The last two games without him have clearly demonstrated why. Ball hog, past his best, poor leadership, bad decisions …. Where's the upside to keeping him?
Did anyone see whether our Marquee signing made it to the Game BH ???None ...... He needs to go so they can get on to building a team without him ......
Great post mateSwapping text messages with my son 10 minutes into the second half I said its about time the ref starts to give all the momentum to the Broncos. And surprise, surprise, look what happened. Six agains everywhere, that terrible call on the sideline tackle which in my opinion invited the Broncos right back into the game.....
Only the Dragons can nearly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
So not only is Billy Walters a bog average player but he is a class A grub. The stuff with Sloan was completely unnecessary. Walters now joins my Ronaldo Mulitalo Complete Dickhead club.
Great first half, referee assisted second half. Still a very mentally weak side when things go against them.
CT did well - had to do a heck of a lot of work for each of his tries.
Halves looked just as good as they did against Penrith. A lot less cap space taken up too.......
S'ua for captain.
Sele rusty but added some much need go forward.
Sloan - geez. I can see the upside in the kid but he had a shocker in the second half. (thought he was very solid in the first half). Hope he's not reading social media today. Criticism is fine but the vitriol and hatred from pathetic keyboard warriors is vile. Interesting 12 months coming up for him and for coach Flanno. Can he fix Sloan's weaknesses? At what point do we say the weaknesses aren't going to go away? Would have loved to have heard that after-game talk he was having with Flanno - Flanno wasn't smiling......
Anyway a win is a win and against the GF choker Broncos its even better. And they keep themselves in contention for an unlikely finals tilt. Still thinking we're going to fall short but at least their destiny is in their own hands.
p.s. was thoroughly enjoyable knowing that Lawrie wasn't going to lumber on to the field at any stage of the game. Surplus to requirements.
I think he just doesn’t know how to. He’s a tough kid but lacks technique and unfortunately his time in NRL has to end if Dragons improve. Lovely fella but he is going to cause more pain than loveSloane's performance in defence was very ordinary. He does not want to put his body on the line.
Jesus the kid did his best during the horses barnstorming last 30. Blame the shoddy middles with three making a piddling 38 tackles between them, one Murdoch-Masila made a staggering 4. Sloan is still a work in progress in the multi faceted full back role. His intent has increased two fold, note his kick returns and taking of the bomb, has taken some hi pressure screamers last two weeks. His defensive attitude has improved too, needs work still on his technique. Surely between Deano and JDB that can be sorted. Like him to bulk out some to give him more confidence against a bigger one on one opponent.Sloane's performance in defence was very ordinary.
You need to join us over on the Dragons Lair, plenty of kindred spirits re Hunt there, ah @Illusion.We really need to not renew Hunt.
The rule in that case is ridiculous. Kyle was told by the ref that the only thing he could challenge was if the player went out. He couldn't challenge the actual decision of the ref that he called held. Ludicrous. So in other words it was a challenge he couldn't win. Replays showed clearly momentum never stopped but it was irrelevant because the ref called held while a player was still in motion - and to be fair the commentators called bullsh!t too.. Utterly idiotic. Game changing decision.3. By the time I sat down with a beer was when we had that penalty against for throwing the guy over the touch line somehow it was deemed illegal. I thought we challenged it?, (could not hear)..why was it not overruled?
They know how dangerous the kid is if given space. Probably not the only team doing it either as his magical line breaking has been kept to a minimum for much of this season, replaced by him injecting himself more and making the extra man. Has put in wingers for at least three recent tries by cleverly drawing his man.The amount of pressure the Broncs placed on Sloan in last night's game was EPIC. Even Ginnane commented on it during the game. Even when he was supporting a break, the Broncs defenders made sure he couldn't get to a good position to support line breaks. It was so obvious, the intense scrutiny Sloan had on him. It is amazing he played an okayish game.
No because the "official ruling" was that the ref called held and we illegally pulled the player over the sideline. Ludicrous.In that case, wasn't the challenge successful as the player went out so we actually won the challenge so at minimum we should have still had our challenge for later in the game?
Yes?. Did we still have a challenge?. I would of thought so if it even were deemed a null and void challenge?. IDK anymoreIn that case, wasn't the challenge successful as the player went out so we actually won the challenge so at minimum we should have still had our challenge for later in the game?
