Game Day - Rnd 6 vs Ricky's Raiders

[I'm a loser baby...]

Brads not impressed :lol:

Praising the team deluxe. :lol:

Normally when side wins by 30 or so the winner has more ball at least 55% to 45% or 60% to 40%. Raiders pretty much had as much ball as us and the completion rate was similar. That makes this win very very impressive, it wasn't that raiders were poor, we were just bloody good!!!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

It's just not good enough. We've got to be better than that.

 

[Dibs]

I reckon he'd be more pissed at the penalties they gave away. All good to defend it the way we did but Brad will be wanting us not to have to soak up so much pressure

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Arthur not happy, don't blame him. Heads must roll after the Raiders scored six points. Time to sack the Board.

He is still not over letting the dogs score in the last 5 mins. Boys are still doing extras over it!!

Its nice to get a bit of good for/against action

We got tired in the last 20 and intensity faded away for many of our players.

Lack of experience showed amongst many of our players. Maybe it was the scoreboard.

Lets hope the stamina levels continue to improve so that our intensity does not drop off.

On what I saw in the 2nd half and even though we played against brutal monsters for 80 minutes we are not yet a top 4 side. In a tight match against the better, more experienced teams, we could have been beaten today.

I also noticed Scott didn't play for much of the 2nd half so maybe that was a good thing to give our less experienced meat heads the experience they need to test their intensity, discipline and composure, etc.

It was also good taking Foran off with 10 to go even though our attack looked f**ked from that point onwards. We really have to be much better than that.

Norman looked off his feet for the last 15 minutes and it showed in our attack.

It was somewhere in that range after the first half and that's where the damage was done. Raiders had nothing left to hurt us with in the second but agreed it was because of how well we played rather than the raiders playing poorly

 

[Gary Gutful]

Solid win but they did clock off at the end.

 

[ParraUnagi]

Annnnd. ... we are 2nd on the ladder. If the Dogs can bear the Storm by a small amount we can stay there.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Just realised it is a 5 day turnaround and that must be why BA rested Scott and Foran.
We play Moanly @ Brokewood coming Thursday night.

We were very good.

NRL recognises the unfairness set against all teams caught on a 5 day turnaround - the Raiders being another today. But it really is just a bandaid they are offering without getting rid of the wound permantly. Maybe in the seasons to come teams will be playing Tuesday's and Wednesday to get around this f**ked 5 day turnaround. Considering Teams need at least 6 days, ideally 7 day turnarounds as a minimum. All teams at some point are getting up to 10 days turnaround.

No, just coaches the side

Thanks. Heard them talking about a chip off the old block and I was thinking, well done Peatsy.

Remove the thursday night game for a start IMO. It's almost as bad as monday night football. If one has to go the it should be thursday.

Great win with an excellent first half. Raiders heads were down. Austin and Sezer just couldn't get in the game.
