GF Panthers vs Storm

[Original Name]

He has had a great year. And a poor finals series.

He and Luai didn't control the game. Drop outs went out the window. Kicking game went to shit. They must learn from this.

It's because of kick pressure. The forwards weren't laying as good a platform getting slow play the balls so Cleary didn't have as much time to kick.

Before the recency bias starts against Naden and May I swear there were like 6 guys commentating on here that supported Naden being dropped and didn't believe in him.

That change had no bearing on the result

I agree but there will be people saying it did.

 

[Munky]

Staines is ready to play the wing, the big conundrum will be right centre.

Ivan loves a backrower at centre. Mannering, Yeo, May.

Capewell with first dibs next year?

Four players named in the NSW Origin squad, Yeo, Cleary, Crichton, and the surprise packet Jerome Liau.

Nope. Did nothing well really

It had some bearing. There’s a lot more reasons we lost, but the team with Naden starting at centre is better. We had no speed out there.

Does speed stop the 2 tries Cleary gifted them or stop the 17 errors we made? We were horrible across the board

That is true but I don't put it down to that solely.

I think they just shat the bed. Look back at the Roosters/Souths games and it was the same story. We got away with it because we were are just a better team. Melbourne fluke a a few tries in the first half and that is simply it.

Its a big choke and we need to wear it now.

Luai a genuine surprise. I was under the impression he wasn't even eligible.

Well done.

the whole final series we played terrible. It was one big choke

Well done.

I think he was, I thought he didn't want to play. I'm gutted Liam didn't make the cut.

Really?

I was of the opinion he should start or be dropped entirely for a prop. When he came on he showed he should've started rather than be on the bench at least.

Naden may have been able to chase down the first try in the second half, he also would’ve helped improve our attack in the first.

As I said, there’s a lot of reasons we lost. I agree we were horrible across the board in the first half, but I also think we’d have been better with Naden.

It made no sense to change the team dynamics this late in the season, Ivan totally panicked.

 

[franklin2323]

Really?

Yep. We fell away from everything we did well in the finals. That is a choke

 

[Fangs]

It was. We need to be honest.

Destroyed the Roosters, won by a point.

Canned Souffs, went down to the wire.

Storm...got a bit of luck and we managed to make it a small contest.

True story is we blew it, big time. Very disappointing.

Remember the Intercept v Manly? Naden isn't that quick. Certainly not that quick
