Match Discussion: Round 13 vs Canterbury @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Walk On Home Boy]

We're getting punished for intensity right now. Ref hurting us.

First up contact is good. Shame about the clueless halves.

 

[Allstar Knights]

I can't believe Brodie Jones actually offers something nowadays

 

[perverse]

Mahoney desperately needs his bell rang.

 

[Jono078]

We can really do with a try here...

 

[Yosh]

We make this 8-10 and it's a good half.

 

[Woody90]

Are we coached to be this bad in attack or is it the halves?

 

[Apey]

I don't thin kwe're playing that badly all things considered. There's still a lot of intent there. Errors killing us and just the same old lack of attacking finesse. The Dogs are defending well, and that's a real struggle for us with zero creativity or threat from our halves.

Biggest issue I've seen (at the ground) is we're just doing 1 up rubbish so Dogs are getting 3 defenders in every tackle and destroying us physically.

 

[Haffa]

Cronk is right. We are pedestrian in attack.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Are we coached to be this bad in attack or is it the halves?

Both imo

 

[Yosh]

Wasn't Cogger supposed to straighten up our attack?

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Jones and Elliot our best halves

 

[Tom155]

A lot of ball this half & nothing to show for it

 

[Jono078]

You could say we've bombed 2 tries that perhaps on another night we would typically get. That hurts.

 

[Rod]

Try would have been nice there. Credit to the Dogs they have been desperate in defence.

 

[Woody90]

Ponga would be helpful right about now.

 

[perverse]

Ponga would be helpful right about now.

Nahhhh this 5 game, built like a paddle pop stick rookie should push him to 5/8th.

 

[Yosh]

Nahhhh this 5 game, built like a paddle pop stick rookie should push him to 5/8th.

But to be fair I think all of us would rather have Armstrong in the side over Cogger.

When is Gamble back? We need him ASAP!

 

[Knight Tales]

Absolutely horrendous attack. Easy to see why we are after two new halves. If Hasting and Cogger could play through the line we would be all over them. Our defence has been good with the exception of the points off of lapses.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

The regression in attack from last season has been bewildering. Personnel hasn't changed enough to make it make sense.

Or was it just a case of "give the ball to the freakish player in ridiculous form"

 

[Apey]

I dunno where our points come from today even though we f**ked up a sitter earlier. Dogs defend well and we have the second worst attack in the league, only behind the Tigers.
