Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Penrith @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[macavity]

Surely we move Phoenix to 6 for the second half.

 

[Apey]

We've spent the entire game just standing back and watching Luai do whatever he wants to the point where he strolled over untouched. Cogger in particular. Absolute morons.

 

[perverse]

You have to hook Cogger at this point. That was diabolical. He's pretty much cost us the game single handedly.

 

[K-Man]

I just don't understand Jack Cogger as an NRL player. The only thing he does almost competently is pass the ball, but even then not with any threat or creativity. You could put any player in the 6 who is able to pass the football and tackle, and it would be a significant upgrade. Literally anyone, including a forward. Why is he there? He needs to be put out of his misery, it's hard to watch.

 

[Yosh]

If we had Crossland instead of Cogger I reckon the game would be 6-6 at halftime. Cogger should be dropped for that play there seriously.

 

[Knight Tales]

Our coach knows his employment status is about to become a conversation topic again. And with O’Sullivan’s arrival he’d have to be nervous. Whether he had any say in that is irrelevant.

 

[K-Man]

Jack Cogger has a premiership. Kalyn Ponga will probably retire without one. The world is a funny place.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

He can't be worse? Like, get anyone in there at this point. Play Lucas there I don't care, I'm sick of him.

I haven't even been one calling for Pryce at all but everybody's reason for not selecting him is his because of his defence... So why the f**k are we picking Cogger every week??

 

[ryan.a87]

Knights put a bit of a score on Penrith in nsw cup, surely Pryce had a hand in a bit of that?

 

[Woody90]

Honestly Cogger has got to go. He’s terrible in all aspects of the game. Pryce couldn’t be any worse. I don’t necessarily think Pryce will be any good but Cogger does not deserve to be in FG.

His lack of urgency to dive on the ball when Gags was taken into touch was the worst.

Needs to be hooked.

 

[perverse]

If we had Crossland instead of Cogger I reckon the game would be 6-6 at halftime. Cogger should be dropped for that play there seriously.

We'd be at least 12 points better off in this game, directly through his actions. That's not even considering his pathetic efforts with the ball in hand, that's just purely points scored off his awful defence and just staying the f**k awake in the game. He's a deer in headlights. Cooked. There's no reason to have him on the field anymore, and hoenstly there never was.

 

[Apey]

Penrith have us so incredibly dominated in the air, it's crazy.

Aren't you enjoying our short dropouts to noted leapers Dylan Lucas, Bradman Best and Greg Marzhew?

 

[Haffa]

Big Brain leaving Cogger out there to destroy the game. Neither of them can be defended.

 

[Yosh]

Cogger at 6 is a strange hill to die on Mr. AOB?

 

[Zoidberg]

I’d just like to add to the “Cogger is terrible” parade.

 

[perverse]

I wouldn't give a shit if Pryce let those same tries in as long as he offered us something with the ball in hand, tbh. Cogger has no upside. None. Put Sharpe there even and bring Armstrong back in. I dunno, it doesn't really matter what you do, but you have to do something as a coach because this is an embarrassment.

I'll take Phoenix just having a 6 on his back and tackling all game over this nonsense any day.

 

[K-Man]

It's a special talent to have a negative impact on your team in every single way. Every time you are involved.

You can be a Reegan Tanner type forward who clearly doesn't belong in first grade but tries hard. But how do you survive at this level when you actively and single handedly destroy any chance your team might have of winning?

 

[K-Man]

At this point it's not even Cogger's fault. The coach should have taken responsibility and he hasn't. Find a solution. Find any solution that involves Cogger not in first grade. And do it two weeks ago.

 

[K-Man]

Cogger at 6 is a strange hill to die on Mr. AOB?

I don't know if he's straightened our attack, but he's straightening his coach's path to unemployment.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Didn't Fletcher Sharpe play 6 as a kid?
Put him in. Gagai or Tuala to FB and Lucas centre.
