Match Discussion: Round 14 vs South Sydney @ Stadium Australia

[Knight Tales]

I'd like to see Young tested a bit under the high ball, but on what we've seen so far... why does Musgrove get another game?

He and Best already look likely as a left side. Push Hymel right centre and go for a Fergo type next season?

 

[perverse]

Or, he could just let Mann f**k up if they didn’t cut out the centre.

But they aren’t, are they? They know that Tuala is a spud and they’ll get it to Johnston. f**k, even I know that.

Why doesn’t Tuala?

That doesn't help us defend the try, as much as you seem to think it does. It doesn't matter whether they go inside or outside of Tuala there, the breakdown inside him left him out to dry defending that. As I said, if he does as you say, they just score inside him instead.

It's funny, because I'm sitting here having the same conversations that I used to have about Uate damn near a decade ago. Not that he was a stellar defender or anything, he wasn't, but he copped a lot more than he deserved on occasion in this exact same position. Some things never change, I guess.

Think the coach would be very happy with that performance

 

[Knight Tales]

I bet the kick pressure on Jake amps up this half.

Yeah. Could see that coming. He was left hung out to dry.

Actually I'll go even further on the Tuala defence conversation in that you should generally be using the sideline as your extra defender, and sliding them into touch, rather than "sticking on your winger".

Storm have made a career out of it. Showing a sideline passage and then closing it equally as fast.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Mann has been a big issue on the right defending 3 in, being 1 wider isn’t going to fix anything. He and Tuala could have seats in the first row, and wingers could still get on the outside.

 

[Knight Tales]

I’d be happier with Jones at right centre and Mann at lock.

 

[PhilGould]

Soft penalty but just dumb from Barnett

 

[slotmachine]

Dumb from Barnett

 

[perverse]

Young is a f**king giant.

 

[Tom155]

Dom saved a try there

 

[slotmachine]

Dom doing very well to save tries there

 

[perverse]

Young is actually doing well to cut these off. He's had numbers coming at him.

 

[slotmachine]

Haha, just go the other way bunnies

 

[Zoidberg]

Ffs. Hang on, hang on, hang on, spread to the left, try.

 

[Alex28]

Still Mann’s fault?

 

[slotmachine]

That one is on tuala!
