I don’t know why but I hate Bailey Simonsson in first grade

[lucablight]

No team can score at will whenever they need to. The opposition is also trying to stop them scoring, and they are doing it for the full eighty minutes, not just ‘when the game is on the line’.

A lot of those tries are probably coming from the opposition relaxing once they’ve gotten ahead. We’ve almost come back on numerous despite giving up significant leads. Did our attack suddenly improve or is it more likely the opposition became complacent?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It doesn't 'suddenly improve' just because you scored. Most sets you don't score (and shouldn't be trying to). It doesn't mean your attack was poor in those sets and good in the sets where you scored.

I think it just means that our defence isn't good enough.

Our poor defence is just bad luck and a lack of resources.

Which contribute to losses which we shouldn’t worry about because it’s simply part of the game.

I don't think Oppa wanted to stay. Organised his own contract to play overseas, changes clubs every few years anyway.

I don't think we rated him highly enough at the time.

He wasn't picked in the starting team between round 12 & 20.

Played 2 games off the bench in 16 & 17.

And in that 8 week period he signed with Hull for this year.

He got back in round 20 after he signed with Hull and it was the best we looked in those following 8-9 weeks last year.

I don't know if it's the position now or we seem to have average players(likely) but neither Opa nor Simonson look like much. I'm not even counting Blake in this.

 

[Lemon Squash]

Simo had one absolute bludger this year but in general he's alright. No superstar but he has a crack at least, was one of our better players yesterday.... loves a Goosey

But did we show a desire to keep him? Probably not given the list of Rhinos ready and waiting.

Nah it's because we're not Parrafit

 

[hineyrulz]

Nah it's because we're not Parrafit

Well it will be happy days when we do, it was at least a really good loss last night which is always exciting!!

Nothing really matters anyway as long as you take the good with the bad. There is always next week I’m sure we’ll get ‘em next time!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Either that or you could just give up.

Nothing better than a good loss.

 

[eel01s]

Watch Bailey play the ball. He looks like he is in the Under 6 league learning how to play.

Agree

 

[hindy111]

How desperate do we sound wishing we still had Opacic. I mean ok player but nothing more then that. Can't beleive we could produce anything better then him.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'd say a bad win is better.

Penisini is better than Opacic. Simonsson is as good.

 

[hindy111]

Penisini is better than Opacic. Simonsson is as good.

Yes I know. No idea why people want him back. He was bog average. I rather Simmonson.

Yep, Opa's defensive qualities always made us look better when he was picked in the side. And as we all know defence is a key foundation that attack is built on for winning games.

Sure, sometimes a player misses a tackle (and gets called $%@# by the captain...). But Opa was always more solid in the team that the x-factor plodder BA was selecting in his place - who has finally been relegated to Cup this season (and hopefully elsewhere/not extended next season).

Goosey from 30m out of the defensive line. He’s rubbish
