Game Day vs Rabbitohs

[Cheese sandwich]

you described that very vividly as if it’s something you’re familiar wit, you’re projecting aren’t you kid?
where are you from? Blacktown? Queensland? Out west like most shonks supporters on here? Have you ever even been to cronulla?

You called me a kid and now you're asking where I'm from and have I been to Cronulla where you claim to live. Bad, bad creep you.

I don’t want your address, I just want to laugh at where your parents make you live

Sure you don't Hey Dad.

Round 1, game over.

Played like shit in the 2nd half but gee if a few things clicked we might of gone a lot better.

Give me to round 5 and I will give you an honest assessment.

We missed the start but it is a very long race.

 

[Stake Removed]

Ronaldo's effort to score at the start summed up how we performed

 

[Surely]

Rudolf gets monstered too many times, especially when trying to come out of our 20, and he has the drop ball again too often.

Was easily our best forward for metres and post contact metres

Bit average in defence though

 

[Surely]

Need a lift ? Ben Dover And Ill Drive you Home!

Pick me up, who can resist the offer of some flaccid penis.

 

[Eion]

BB 31 run metres
Cook 137 run metres.

Cook is a freak, but I’m increasingly convinced/concerned that BB is just a dud

 

[Craigshark]

It was just round 1.. so no razor blades. But there were a few obvious concerning and uninspiring signs. Cameron Murray running straight up the guts for 15 metres and offloading in the opening set of the game wasn’t a good sign.

 

[Eion]

Murray and Cook were head and shoulders above anyone else out there.

The 4 tries through the Moylan/Talakai channelexposed some real weaknesses.
1. Illias try, Moylan caught in tight, can't slide quickly enough, Talakai jams, makes poor contact, try.
2. Koloamatangi try, Moylan goes to Koloamatangi, Talakai turns out to Graham instead of holding, Moylan missed tackle, try.
3. Graham try 1, Moylan checks runner, tries to slide to Illias out the back, can't make it, Talakai jams in creating the gap, try.
4. Graham try 2, Moylan checks Koloamatangi, tries to slide, can't make it, Talakai jams, creating the gap, try.

Issues
1. Moylans lack of acceleration means he is not able to slide quickly enough.
2. Talakai doesn't trust Moylan close to the line and does not react quickly enough.
3. The edge is not working as a unit.

Illias worked that edge over beautifully. He exposed those weaknesses and took full advantage.

You could see the tries happening from the moment the ball left the dummy halves hands

 

[Ozzi_78]

Moylan isn’t physically capable of stopping someone unless he makes good contact front on. Literally we didn’t react and make a change and it was all over

Game day thread - the gift that keeps on giving. Wow. Appreciate the pain of a poor performance, but the forum flogs making cameos about the past coach is dead set embarrassing. Each to their own.
Game had its moments but alot to work on. Lack of a real enforcer stands out. Happy for Trindall and on that performance he might out Moylan who looked lost.
Shark park is still the pits. It stinks to be honest. 12k something being a sellout crowd is ordinary as well. But it’s home I guess. Just get some decent beer please….
First game done onto the next.

Looking at stats Williams and Graham where our only forwards with less than 100 running metres.

She strikes me more of a pavlova stuffer

Feel good bagging a mother of a young child because of her looks?

Did you look at how many minutes they played?

I'd be surprised if Williams was any more than 20, as he was lost to an HIA.
And Wade came on with about 25 to go and spent 10 of those minutes in the bin.

I'm no huge fan of either, but that's a little harsh on them.

It's painfully obvious though, as it has been since mid-last year, we seriously lack muscle up front.

I'm hoping my man Royce's return addresses that, but I still feel we need more and the cupboard looks pretty bare to me.

 

[DJDL]

There you go. Just had a look at the stats:

Williams 15 minutes, 5 runs for 59 metres. 29 post-contact.
Wade 19 minutes, 7 runs for 37 metres. 9 post-contact.
McInnes 29 minutes, 9 runs for 94 metres. 24 post-contact.

That's the forwards with less than 100 metres.

Their respective average runs:
Willams ~12 metres, 6 post-contact.
McInnes ~9.5 metres, ~2.5 post-contact.
Wade ~5.5 metres, ~1 post contact.

I really don't see how we flourish carrying Wade and McInnes as bench forwards.
McInnes needs to interchange with Brails or not be there at all.
Wade just needs to not be there.

I'm happy for Williams to keep his spot until we have a better alternative.

Not a shot at yourself mate or the tread in general - everyone needs to vent.
More those who goes forum fishing for bites about water than ran under the bridge an age ago.
