Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

[Spot On]

A second director of Wests has publicly said AOB isn’t getting paid out. Get ready for him to hang around.

A coach can not keep his job if his side loses every week. Just can’t.

 

[Sir Galahad]

he wasn't any better than Brooks tonight

because 1 game is a such a massive sample size. Ya the dude sucking Hoys chubby after 1 good game ffs

Wait what? I said Hoy looked ok in NSWcup bro. Hardly "sucking his chubby"

Way to totally miss the point champion

 

[Apey]

Brooks is a proven failure even more than Mann and Crossland. Hastings still has a bit of potential to be decent. Its a moot point anyway I doubt he's going to leave the Tigers. Seems fairly low on their problem list.

 

[Yosh]

Same s&*t every week. We have no shape in attack, no line speed in defense and if one of our star players doesn't pull a rabbit out of the hat, we don't score.

This could be week whatever from the past 3 years.

 

[Loose Cannon]

At least our future lock topped the tackle count with 43. Elliott has been a revelation this year for them.

But we have a lock who can’t be usurped!

If KP as he is known, is the person the build a TEAM around, TEDDY is the person to build a TOWN around. He does 10 x times the work as KP.

To be honest, i would sack the whole TEAM and put them on a performance based contract and if they don't like it, let them get a job elsewhere. We have nothing to lose, last is last and scraping into the top 8 in this competition is nothing be proud of.

We need an organiser and the rest being athletes who have ticker. You can train Athletes to do anything.

If only the real world worked this way! I can assure you it doesn’t.

 

[Woosh]

Mann was taken out illegally without the ball
How did Klein and the touchies missed that?




Should’ve been 10 in the bin and a kick in front.
Klein copped a gobful

 

[mozza91]

Klein had no problem giving Canberra a piggy back penalty for nothing 30 seconds later. Strange that.

 

[Burwood]

Still seeing if anyone can tell me how a knock on 15m out results in a 20m restart and 7 tackle set???

 

[Burwood]

Not 15m out, but still clearly the mistake isn’t made in the in goal.

 

[Knight76]

How about the first Canberra try!

Kris runs the decoy, directly at the outside shoulder of Gagai, makes contact with him, Gags was turning to chase across and bumpted in to Kris, had to redirect and continue on his way.

This is clear cut interference and 100% (except for us) is called a penalty and no try.

There is no doubt that Kris impeded Gagai's ability to make it across to cover and make an effective tackle attempt.

This is standard. Same as if someone knocks on then boots the ball in frustration afterwards - they'll play the greater of the two errors and award the 20m restart.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a 7 tackle restart after someone kicks the ball dead in frustration. You often hear the referee saying “the initial error was ‘xyz’ so going back to here”.

I’ve seen countless times though where the bunker has looked at a try a dozen times to determine if the ball was lost before the line or over it so they know how to restart the set.

I think it was the bulldogs tigers game on the weekend where the winger put the ball down on the corner post so it was ruled a 20m restart rather than a handover and playing the ball on the 10m line. The video ref was very clear in their explanation.

 

[Jono078]

Some puzzling decisions no doubt.

But don’t let it distract from us being rubbish all while Canberra themselves were shit, and we still couldn’t get the job done.

I certainly don’t feel robbed by the refs after yesterday. I guess that’s my point.

This is pretty bad. Mann's just about only positive is related to his effort; he's a decent kick chaser in scoring positions. I don't think he would have got there, and even if he did he has a decent chance to knock it on, but the Raider player changed his line to take him out after the kick had already been taken. Yikes.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

We f**ked ourselves harder than the refs did

 

[Sir Galahad]

the refs sucked dick again

Being unhappy the liferaft has a leak when the ship shouldnt have sunk in the first place.

The Knights where more than woeful against equally horrendous opposition. The Cessnock Goannas reserve grade side, 5 min late to the ground, minus the waterboy and no oranges at half time could have knocked the Raiders off they were that bad.

Not even realistically honest, yes your upset but over exaggerating the matter causes some of us to doubt your legitimate clear and honest assessments.
Really, Cessnock, reserves late, no water boy, no oranges, not what my child hood memories of Sir Galahad evoke
