Game Day vs the purple scum

[shadowboxer]

We were shit.

The end

Best way to sum it up really.
Dud calls aside, we have overcome worse than tonight. Just not good enough
Bitch moan and groan but like all season we weren't really in it.
Hats off to the team for probally putting up the best they had.
Long few years ahead but I urge all to get to Leichardt Sunday to support Jets etc
Only issue I have is Slater, any other team, Slater would be cited for the Feki hit, him, NOT
Shame but, that's life

Is there Long few years ahead?

We have lots of top notch juniors coming through...let’s use them.

 

[Sharkman]

That was a disappointing way to end the season. Injuries cruelled is, but to play like that was awful.

Felt like we were cooked the moment Ricky dropped the ball and we were never in the game.

Capewell on the wing was a disaster. Seggy and Paulo were wasted.

Last year I was convinced that atrocious refereeing cost us the game, last night we just sucked. Our game plan and our execution were rubbish.

 

[Weaponhead]

The question for the Flange is reload or rebuild? Given Gall's last season the temptation to reload and will be very strong. He needs to recruit astutely to fill some of the big holes. We essentially lose both edges Loots, Ramien, Lewis and Graham (half the season).

Morris for Loots is ok and Dugan will play right centre (when fit). Really don't see Sorensen as a starter. He hasn't stepped up. Capes is ok but not top level. Need at least quality edge backrower. Nikora may be ready to start with another off season. He needs more size to handle to step up in class.

 

[millersnose]

Meh
Ref was nothing unusual
The storm were sensational and you can’t give them a three state of origin level player start and expect to beat them at home in a final series
Out gunned in the middle

 

[roboshark]

Do we think it should of been a penalty try

 

[Card Shark]

I thought sin bin but just a penalty for an illegal stopping of a definite try scoring play was not enough.

 

[Differ To The Coifed]

Do we think it should of been a penalty try

Obsolutely not

 

[Card Shark]

Hear what you’re saying Differ & is not normally what I’d think but if Slater doesn’t shoulder charge Feki, he definitely scores.

He could’ve took him out with a fair tackle but he chose not to, so if he wasn’t there playing illegally, Feki scores 100 times out of a hundred.

 

[Surely]

Deliberate foul on a player in the process of scoring

Doubt over whether he scores if it's a legit tackle so should have been a sin bin not a penalty try.

No use crying over spilt milk though we played aweful

 

[myrrh ken]

Absolutely clueless in attacking third. Chad needs a foil. Obviously moyza went missing. missed wades creativity. Paulo added some late on, shouldve started. Maybe dugan wouldve helped with his experience too.

Too many unforced errors. Dunno if the lads were tired or just didnt want it.

Feefs was immense... then dumb. If he was captain he wouldve toned it down. Lewy is not one.

All in all though great season. I think we probably over achieved.

 

[Feej]

Chad has been good the last few weeks, but last night he was off again. Same with Moylan. I'd settle for two solid halves that do a decent job than the two we have now, that can admittedly turn a game occasionally but are 50% shit.

 

[King Ben]

I liked the part where Chad kicked it and Slater caught it on the full.

 

[myrrh ken]

There is a problem if neither half can kick long.

 

[Quigs]

I'd like it where someone could direct / orchestrate our side around the field. Especially in the opps quarter.

It is the same old story year in year out. Nobody has a farhcan hell what to do.

 

[Card Shark]

Feefs was immense... then dumb. If he was captain he wouldve toned it down. Lewy is not one.

All in all though great season. I think we probably over achieved.

Before he was immense, he was also dumb.

Ran the first 5 runs going sideways until he got a rocket I’d say, as he never went sideways after that.

Too late by then though, we had lost the middle.

Was bad decision not giving him the captaincy. Makes him more determined but more importantly, more disciplined.

 

[BatteredFlake]

Disappointing that Joey never picked up the slight movement in Slaters right pinky showing that he was attempting to wrap his arms round in a ball and all tackle .Obviously Slater had no choice as he himself pointed out that Feki might have stepped inside ? Im still struggling to understand how that legitimises it. Kinda confirms he consciously opted for Shoulder charge to me.

 

[Weaponhead]

Slater charged with grade 1 shoulder charge. Will get off at judiciary.

 

[Thick Skinned Shark]

After a nights sleep, my take is we did well under the circumstances
More determined stopping of Slater in the first half, would have near won it with our battered make shift team, don't ask me how, but we won the 2nd half
I'm proud of our boys!

 

[PHaTMaN]

The grub got charged!
