Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Warriors @ Sky Stadium, Wellington

[perverse]

Ugh. It's Friday night and this is what I'm doing.

Of all the things that are wrong, our lack of a middle (which was entirely predictable) is the worst of it. A lot of the other horrible shit stems from that at the moment. Saifiti's predictably have not stepped up like we needed, and this is where we are now.

Not many good things to say about that

 

[macavity]

High fives all round "were only losing by 4 boys"

on top first 25

absolutely trampled last 15

Only week 1 but my god that was uninspiring

We won't miss klem, he's the problem, the safs will definitely show up etc

Really looking forward to AOBs half time speech. Bet it's an absolute belter!

 

[mozza91]

Absolute trash but only down by 4 at least.

Multiple premiership winning coach Obi surely has a Herculean speech to make them stop playing like spastics right?

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Miller is already my favourite Knights player. Not because he's great but because he tries.

That's sad isn't it?

 

[K-Man]

So the 5 one-out runs + shit kick at the end of the set rhythm that we enjoy so dearly hasn't gone anywhere.

It really is hard to understand what our coach thinks about the modern game. This stuff doesn’t work, we’re getting bashed. It’s so depressing.

Could it possibly be any worse if we just went for broke and started offloading, trying different things, and risking mistakes? It’s unbelievably one dimensional.

His paycheque was a problem, not his covering the holes in the Saifitis laziness though. I mean I feel like most of us were saying such. And I mean, the Saifiti's paycheques are equally as much a problem. Unbelievable what we pay these blokes.

Run metres 915 to 598, lol

Oh god I had forgotten about them!

LOL diabolical - but it definitely looked like it.

 

[Mr Angry]

These are teams that do not do the little things, lazy, lack discipline, panic.

Kick offs, kicks for touch, lack of chase, line speed, bunch of lazy sods.

This will end up high scoring.

 

[Zoidberg]

Only way we get field position is from a penalty or Warriors mistake, our forwards have little to forward.

 

[Haffa]

18 missed tackles.

 

[perverse]

Ahhh Brandy, he's in heaven here. He loves sinking the boot into us. I don't blame him, it's the only way to have a good time with our team.

 

[Spot On]

Haven’t seen anything to adjust my pre season prediction that our forward pack is the major problem. They’re getting absolutely dominated through the middle, conceding ground and then repeat sets.

Our spine is mediocre, but our forwards look bottom of the league. No power, no skill, no leadership.

Physically inferior with and without the ball.

Groundhog Day.

Yet again.

 

[macavity]

How do we get better players and still be just as shit.

Been a long time since we've had a fullback who actually likes touching the ball
