Match Discussion: R13 vs Parramatta @ McDonald Jones - Old Boys Day

[slotmachine]

Starting props made less than 80m between them.

Maybe having klem punching out 200m a game isn't holding us back

Defence is horrid when Parra throw the ball around. Poor communication and first contact is soft. No idea when we had a chance on their line as usual. I don’t want to blame our injuries on some poor efforts but damn it would be nice to have a few more guys available out there.

10 completed sets vs 21 completed sets. You have to have the ball to make metres. Hopeless.

We almost got reverse 2001 GF'd in that half. Mann sucks. Our outside backs suck.

I'm glad John Morris showed up as part of the 2001 squad though. Forgot he played for us that year.

Our centres have been really disappointing today. I don't know how Tuala gets sucked in so easy, surely he's played enough now to learn from his mistakes. I fear for Best and his growth, starting to see signs that playing in a shit team is rubbing off on him.

I know it's cool to kick tuala but best has been a windmill in D today

Bright spots have been that Clifford has been lively, and I thought Jones was putting together a solid performance before he went off for HIA. Pretty much everything else has sucked.

Just keep this in mind. O'Brien moved Connor from the 6, which he clearly owned last week, to accomodate Kurt Mann. Imagine believing Mann is capable of playing first receiver.

I think picking Mann at 5/8th when Watson went so well there last week is probably the biggest sin from the coach this week. Unbelievable decision. The rest has been more or less forced through circumstance, but that is just a plain old clanger with zero explanation that I can come up with.

 

[Tom155]

great start smh

 

[Loose Cannon]

It begins

Well, no point in starting to complete sets now I suppose? ughhh...

costs us again

That looked the same as Watson's knock on in the first half... fmd.

Newcastle officials paid Moses to ensure they don't concede 50

 

[Zoidberg]

That is a no try

If that's the case, I think we need to ask for that payment back. I don't think he's going to hold up his end of that deal.
