Game Day Edition 1, 2021

[Special K]

Middle defence with Woods and BHU and Rudolf off was not good at all

Which is crazy considering last year those 3 were the biggest problem.

Tolman 134m and 25 tackles. One really f**ken lazy effort for the Dufty break but very solid.

good signs. They’ll get better

 

[Frenzy.]

Not sure if it’s already been said but why couldn’t we get past the advantage line? Were our guys to deep? Every time we took a hit up the dragons were in our face

Because Flatball is back and we didn't do it. Yes, too deep for sure.

 

[Card Shark]

Raiders by 30 more than likely..

Now that’s confidence!

 

[Windy70]

Good win in a bad way. Interesting to see how Morris and the team deal with the issues ahead of next week.

On the board, good start.

What does Billy Mag offer ? I dont get it. Talakai and Hunt walk into that bench.

Nothing

 

[Stake Removed]

Haven't seen the yet but as I said we would bolt in

 

[coolumsharkie]

Both Centers got injured in the Jets game today and Jesse will not be playing for a few weeks due to his pending suspension. Talakai needed back next week for sure. Although they'll probably go with Horrible Hiroti.

 

[txta2]

Chad’s kicking been perfect.

MoM so far. Lucky we have a premiership winning half to keep this team on track

oh fk off he was rubbish in the first 20 of the 2nd half

So ferris injured?

 

[chewsta]

So ferris injured?

Yeah mate, a lower leg injury of some sort was posted in a Jets write up that I saw on line.

 

[Card Shark]

Williams and Magoo should never be allowed to play for the sharks ever again.

I don’t like the ‘never’ word.

Both of these 2 are quite inexperienced & could well end up accomplished first graders.

I for 1 think they will be good assets in time.

Dam. Thanks Chewie. He can't catch a break

Raiders will run riot if we have hiroti in

 

[Quicksilver]

The back three letting the ball bounce let the Dragons back in to the game multiple times.

Kennedy did some good things but still needs to work on his safety.

 

[Chimp]

Today re-affirmed my thoughts on that bench selection - DREADFUL, zero impact, and that’s on Morris. Other teams are bringing blokes off the bench who has some punch, bring some impact. Tolman was what Tolman is, a steady workhorse, can’t complain about him or his effort, but if you’re benching Tolman, you HAVE to have some players with some impact alongside him. Magoo and Tracey were completely wasted spots. I get Tracey on the bench as cover, but not alongside Magoo, it’s got to be one or the other.
Thought Kennedy looked very good, looks to be a lot more athletic this year, lost a bit of natural spongyness and looks far more muscular.

 

[Chimp]

Oh, and I thought Chad had one of his better games, controlled things nicely.
Even though he nailed the conversions, they do still look like a complete lottery as to how they come off his boot, and whilst we got lucky with a couple of dropped balls from Dufty, I’d hate to think what will happen if we hit Papenhuyzen or Tedesco on the chest without a bounce as often as we found the Dragons back 3 on our kicks.

21.32hrs Qld time and I just got back from North Korea with Michael Palin. (S.B.S tv) I am about to be entertained with this Edition 1 progressive match report. I shall venture back in time and digest the informative minute by minute idiots reports.

Wish me luck as this shall be fun..

Its not as wrist slittable as normal old mate

 

[Quigs]

Twas a good read.

First game, shit weather, we got a win. They went out there to hold the ball and keep possession. We did that pretty well until I reckon the old fatigue kicked in.

There was enough there for me to see that we might have a decent season.

I don't think Tolman's there for impact, but solely to cover defensive fatigue in the back end of half, he's suppoooosed to be the defensive glue we've been missing, and he did really well I thought, but were a couple of dud moments.

Bomber's got a difficult job of balancing available forwards with the bench, and I think there's a few realities that need to be grappled with in balancing the interchanges, i'm sure he's sweating on Talakai's return
