Game Day vs The Phins

[Quicksilver]

Chins up. And on to next week.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

Dale looks, ahh, a little pedestrian tonight

Dale's not the player everyone thinks he is.
just didn't stand out as much in a super star side like the storm.

 

[Mr Angry]

Hmmm...Fitz, perhaps dropping shyte players you can do.

I doubt it, I have many doubts now.

I expect the same jokers next week.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

A million times no. He’s as fkn washed as Dale.

Best candidate we've got at the moment imo.
looked good when on.
brings proper ball playing to the middle unlike mcinnes, Williams or dale

 

[Quicksilver]

That's honestly about right based on our form.

Yeah fair position I'd say.

Struggle against the best at the moment, but flog the weak teams.

Onwards and upwards.

 

[eddiesmith]

So we’re 0-3 in Magic Round now and all 3 have been home games we’ve been forced to give up.

Let’s hope the NRL ‘punishes’ us next year and makes us miss out on this magic round by giving us a bye.

 

[Weaponhead]

Hynes gave Freddy just the excuse he needed to not pick him for Origin. Luai did nothing in the earlier game but Nicho was a deer in the headlights tonight.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Right can we stop talking about origin now?

 

[Frenzy.]

too busy thinking about f**ken origin

No

Why is it always our home games. Surely the NRL should be onto that

Oh wait

 

[Mr Angry]

Jesse needs to learn to step back inside

For Newtown, over him totally.

 

[tye]

Sifa had a crack!

Oh wait

Cos we nominate to have the money instead. A team gets to keep it until they give it back.

 

[Frenzy.]

They made us play the game faster than we could handle. They did everything fast including, very importantly, getting off the tackles fast and running back fast to reset fast and we couldn't adjust our attack to get into shape fast enough. Threw all our processes into the toilet.

How can you lose a game when 12 of your players have PTB speeds under 3 seconds. Most weeks, most teams pray for that to happen but they get it through wrestling and other techniques, not simply by being allowed to get up and go.

To be honest that's a pretty unpredictable tactic and we certainly didn't have a Plan B to counter it.

Fitz outsmarted by the old fossil

Maybe it's a factor, I don't know. I can't see why they don't just have 2 Qld derbies in Magic Round. Being honest, I don't think that many interstate fans go up and with 50,000 loonies cheering on the 2 headed teams every outsider is at a disadvantage. So, let them cheer the 2 headed teams in the last game on Saturday and Sunday.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Sifa and tom haz good games. The rest were a pack of washed up mcaverages.

Absolutely it's an advantage

 

[shaggs]

McInnes made 59 tackles and had 12 runs in 53 minutes. Not a bad knock really.

Tieg only forward over 100 metres with 106.

Sifa huge with ball, 248 metres, but that left edge is defensively average.

All in all, we got bashed through the middle again by an average team that was more energetic

Dale and Wade looked old, although Wade might be a chance to get back on the edge. Tieg to the bench and Williams dropped. JW was terrible.

 

[bluefox68]

The number of errors was absolutely staggering.

Even Fitzy was shaking his head…
