Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Newcastle @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Leumeah / Dharawal

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

We put up a better effort than the Roosters did if that's any comfort.

Having said that Nutz, if we played the Broncos tonight I'm certain they would have put 50 on us

Prob is the rorters have got a lot more upside than us.Geez I’m disappointed with such a shithouse effort as the knights would deadset not have beaten anyone else.

Tell your sob story walking !

Ease up Tonto

 

[Tiger Ted]

Despite them posting their training camp videos all over social media they were completely gassed with 15 minutes left. We're also not going to win any games missing more than 50 tackles. Our defensive structure did look better for most of the game but you need to make your tackles. Faatape was running out of the line at times and that will need to be fixed. But with 15 to go, and fatigued, the defensive structure fell apart.

Our attack in the red zone was like a drunken game of twister. I'm hard pressed to understand what our game plan was. I'm not sure there was one aside from try and complete at a high percentage, which they didn't do.

For a change every 50/50 call went our way and we didn't get anyone sin-binned so we can't complain about that.

The only saving grace was that Newcastle were terrible. Anyone with half a brain could see their left side should have been testing out our right side all night long, but they hardly went that way.

Special call out to Terrell May who I thought was the best player from either team, Turuva, and Skelton. Royce Hunt was barely sighted when he was on the field and needs to lift his game. He's not getting paid to get in people's faces during a scrum, which is about the only memorable thing he did.

I still stand by that we won't see much improvement until the back end of the year so although it was disappointing it's not a disaster. Next week we get Bula and Api back and play Parra. I expect a bigger improvement and effort, and we should win that game.

I foolishly thought that we should win 2nites game so I certainly won’t b thinking that next wk.

Galvin was very poor in his execution.

He was poor. Luai didn't do enough either.

Geez we had some good efforts though. May, Skelton and Turuva were all huge. Pole was great. TDS was good.

The halves just didn't step up. Api will make us a better team with more points in us but our halves need to get the job done. I assume Latu goes on the bench next week.

 

[WA Tiger]

No real threat in attack, having Api back will help, Galvin continually runs across field and fails to straighten the attack or set up his outside men.

I was watching Galvin run across field trying to track his vision and there was no player in it just possible gaps ahead. Only a last minute too late pass was all he could come up with.. Vic got the words right ..”hogging the ball”

Ease up Tonto

Nup!

 

[simmo05]

Still ranting, really disappointed that our right side never saw the ball at all in the attacking 20, you’ve got a 500-600k player sitting out on that wing and a a centre who scored multiple tries in the trials (was easily the best centre) and they never saw it in an attacking position once in the whole game very poor

A game plan you would expect from a coach out of his depth

 

[WA Tiger]

Totally different team. I better not say too much hey @WA Tiger.
I've got an idea, let's all shut up and just post links.

I’d like to hear your take on the game nutz.... That was just a word of encouragement..I mean if you don’t shut up you must have survived right. And you are good at that..

 

[WA Tiger]

Nup!

At least I predicted Galvin may need to deal with depression first( and I’ll add “wipe that stupid smile off his face”) before he becomes great ..

 

[Marshall_magic]

It wasn’t a great showing, but a lot of the things wrong were good round one issues. The passing imo was slow and disjointed, the timing was off and the combinations weren’t there yet. We will get a lot better. Our last round 1 victory was as in 2020, this was probably our best round 1 since then.

May looks like a great pick up

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

That attack was rubbish, the defence sub standard.


We got ten minutes of decent footy before the tyres started to go flat and we spent the rest of the match trying to re-inflate them.

Poor team selections and the usual mismanagement of interchange.

Jerome was about as threatening as a damp squid, no doubt under some hopeless master plan.

We let Ponga destroy us all night unimpeded.

It’s a mess.

 

[WA Tiger]

Variation is a minimum for a half .. a little lob kick from Galvin or fkn anything else but the stab kick .. he’s been doing that one from day dot with a lot of fails. It’s a definite hit and hope kick.

If she’d stop trolling our forum looking for fights and abusing people for no reason, we may have a more compassionate take.

Just keep her at home.

No one’s happy that’s she’s sick in real life, but that’s not a licence to take her medications, drink or whatever, get off her face and visit other forums, gaslighting, lying and spoiling other peoples visits on LU because she derives some sickly pleasure out of it.

Yes sir, Roger that.

Our play the ball speed average was over 4 seconds . Fmd ... any run or play momentum was constantly put to sleep by bludgers not fighting to get to their feet.
