is brown allowed to kick the ball??

 

[shadowboxer]

he had a target on him the whole 2nd half, but robson was crap. I thought Graham was awesome though

 

[Feej]

Agree with Graham. He was our best today by far.

 

[roboshark]

15000 people not returning next week I'd say

Robson cost us this one. Pathetic kicking.

Friday night football?
Ill be there with bells on - beers, freezing weather and footy
Yourself?
Did you go today?
Seasons over and was weeks ago, should get out there and support em....Today the second half was terrible but first half was good.

 

[Feej]

How bad were his kicks in the second half! After Boyd dropped a bomb in the first half that lead to a try, I was expecting us to continue putting him under pressure. Instead we got pissweak long grubber kicks.

Hopeless.

 

[chewsta]

We got to an 18 point lead and then tried to protect it.

Attacking options inside newcastles 20 a few times were 4th and 5th tackle to Gal at first receiver, ball playing to Lewis LOL.
Brown over ruled and not allowed to do anything.
Feki and Gagin back to getting no ball at all.
Graham did play well but jeez i wish he would pass it sometimes.

That bomb was browns only kick I think. Hope Robson heads to
England next season. He has no part in our future.

Brown is exciting with the ball. Great to watch. Have we ever had a half with that sort of footwork?

 

[Madsharkie]

Last play options were an absolute disgrace. Should've used the wind in the second half, kicked long early (would've been a 40/20 field day for Todd), to turn them round and work hard to get out of their own end. Was there even one repeat set? Amateur hour.

Lewis was rank average. Very dissapointed with him, as he should be sooo much better.

Also too much Gallen and too much Wade for mine. Wade died with the ball on the last a couple of times. Back to the 'no ball for the backs' style of play.
Is it just me, or does Gal being there push Wade too wide into Loots and Fekis territory?

I believe it does. Gal needs to be at prop.

Cave in second half.

Gal and Lewis should have not played 2nd half they were slow and lethargic.

The team took no advantage of the wind. No tactical kicking shite....

Confidence thing I guess...

 

[southland]

Polintni was a highlight. He showed a little speed and was consistent solid. See him go round again next week...

 

[Surely]

I have taken the knights in the footy tipping comp and I'm on fire

On fire even tipped the queen machine, if the panfers go down it will all be for nought though.

He's got to learn to run off the forward who's busted a tackle and look for a runner coming through on the fly first.

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

I like how Brown plays off the cuff has great step, add couple kilos will be real handful.
What we need now is a Reynolds at half back he can direct while Brown does his thing, Robson is not at that level to do this and was shown wanting today.

Gagan & Feki continue to get better
Leutle some great tackles he will be younger version of Matai
Even Jono Wright went ok, do we keep him not sure if for basic back up yes dosent impact cap
Politoni did ok had to play more minutes then we thought.
Robson now should have played last game lest see who we have that can play halfback
Gibbs as well offers nothing why not for rest of season now we have most of our class back in pack we rotate Massima/D.Fifita/Vave & Spooaga to see how they play with better back
Lichaa now if he is injured what is option at hooker rotation

 

[Surely]

Hey ?

brown does nothing yet, I've seen some nippy sideways runs but that's about it, I hope he watched mullin score that try.

Or Ring Gids' try. Be desperate, want it, get down low and go
