Charity Shield 2023 vs Souths

[Number of the Beath]

Rava in the highlights reel…for South’s

I love Rava but his confidence is shot - he was dreadful.
I reckon we should run the Feagai twins as our left wing & centre, Suli at right centre, Lomax at right wing. At least until Rava gets his confidence back.

"there are positives to take out of that"
"We are nearly there just got to work on the little things"
"The boys tried hard "
"The effort was there"

I’ll say this…we are going to be farked this year. But if Hunt misses any game time…then we’ll be even more farked

After watching that garbage if we aren't favourites for the spoon ...we should be.
This team has nothing going for it.

I have to say Lomax is a very average player… in the 4 seasons I have watched him he has not once been man of the match… very average today and last week. He is all hype and no substance. Suli at least makes inroads

I agree wholeheartedly with you twinkletoes. We say give him early ball but he still isn't able to make breaks to get the winger flying down field. We need someone who can do this - but no-one will come.

 

[Saints Forever]

Played with no self belief

Team was beaten before it ran onto the field

that’s on Hook.

Not once twice but 3 times.
Rava didn't catch let,ball go then fumble.
That takes a lot of skill.

 

[Dragon David]

Is it just me? Or has Ravioli regressed as a football player?

Yes!!!

According to the Dragons site our effective tackle percentage was 90.88, compared to Souths 79.88 and that we missed 10 tackles, compared to their 34.
Surely they have these numbers in the wrong columns?

 

[Dragon David]

When do we pull stumps on the Rava experiment. We need wingers like Nighty who made 3 mistakes in his entire career.

Oh for another Nightingale. Please come back!

Looks to be playing on past reputation ,he got accolades as a young gun ,but is yet to realise it doesn't just happen like that every year.
He is in dire need of some decent coaching to get his game back to his better form ,but that is a pipedream with the coaching staff we have.

Ravioli got cooked today

Problem is South probably score points on every one of our misses on the other hand we obviously didnt.

Memo to our stats men effective tackles are only effective when they stop the other side scoring.
Maybe Mary is doing the stats.

 

[This Year?]

Our weaknesses got badly exposed. Hopefully they can be worked on but they are the same ones from 2 years ago which is very concerning.

At least he didn’t flick the ball 5 rows over the sideline this game

They better hurry up.
Honestly the team looks like a reserve grade side ,add to that playing with zero heart there is a fair bit to fix.

Suli is so much better.

 

[Illusion]

For us to win a game this year , the other team needs to have a off game , get the refs calls to go our way , play the game in their half , or teeming down with rain , lightning thunder or bribe someone .......

Here's a wild idea...
Do you reckon anyone would notice if we surreptitiously swapped our players with St Helens?!

 

[possm]

For 2023 we were always going to struggle unless we picked up a few good forwards in the off-season. Our backs have no chance with the likes of Woods, Fui and col holding the middle.

It's no good signing a few players 'with potential'. We are too far gone and will only climb out of this if we signed a few proven forwards; starting with David Fifita.

Yes, anyone from St Helens.
