How was our edge defense traveling pre disruptions?

we only conceded more then 30 points once during the regular season in 20 games, but did so in both finals games.,....so a fair indication disruptions on the edges may have been a factor .....

yep notice how Walker was fairly quiet on Saturday? it was all tackling on Paulo who was running at him for the whole first half........pretty good tactic ......walkers quietest game in a while ...

yet we let Reynolds play like an immortal. Or was the secret move only specified for one side. Great logic there.

You reckon Reynolds looked like an immortal? Reckon you’ve been bedazzled by his first run in 5 years. He was just as quiet as the other halves.
We made Cook look like an immortal, including not being sent to bin, and given he’s the Australian hooker that’s gonna happen.

Moses had more TA (and same LBA as Reynolds, Walker had 0) then both of their halves combined......

Must have watched a different game, I didn’t see Reynolds do much at all and I was sat high in the stand on Saturday night. As bad as most want to blame our halves, overall they outplayed the somewhat over rated Souffs pair.
An intercept and Cummings getting the way of Moses didn’t help our cause, it didn’t think that we were threatened by Reynolds and Walker to be honest. The beach sprinter ( that might have been mentioned ) , blew the score out with the last try - that seems to be everyone’s memory .

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Exactly. I don’t even think SSBA would consider it a pass.

on a side note, did we ever get to witness the super secret moves BA was meant to unleash?

We attacked better in the finals than we did during the regular season so yes, I'd say so.

In glad you asked. We had conceded zero points to the Storm, in Melbourne. Before that we had the third best defence in the NRL.

Also, Walker seemed a bit overawed whereas Reynolds had played heaps of finals and even a couple of Origins.

Darcy Lussick and Chris Sandow were Ken Thornett medalists

They did have pretty good seasons if I remember rightly. Im not sure Mr Evans could achieve that recognition in two playing careers. Maybe I'm over critical but for mine he was an awfully long way from value for money at any cost. That said weve had a few of those .

 

[Gary Gutful]

Moses definitely had the most BSAs.

Was saving it for the GF...oh wait

Sorry guys I’ve been trying to erase the rubbish game from my head and got a little mixed up. But you guys can brag all off season how we kept the south halves pairing quiet all game. And that it was BA’s secret moves that was responsible.

Also, don't forget, all our problems were an easy fix apparently. What a stupid thing to say.

They took recruitment decision making off him, maybe they should muzzle him now. Or O’Neil can do the press conferences.

Nah that's fine, you can spend all of season crying about the spoon we're going to win next year. We've proven beyond all doubt we're not up to first grade standard.

No he said our lack of effort was an easy fix. Why would you pretend he said something he didn't? What a stupid thing to say.

And that proved an easy fix, eh?
Over 70 points leaked in 2 semi final matches.

Erasing would imply you watched the game

If you couldn’t see the difference in energy levels between that game he said that and games since, you need to go back and watch that match

I didn't see a lack of effort, I saw a defensive line disrupted by injuries and players unavailable.
