Match Discussion: Round 16 vs Warriors @ Scully Park

[aqua_duck]

By far and away our worst performance of the season. In most of the other losses the game has been back and forth where we've had some good periods or at least good moments, this was an 80 minute domination by a team that had yet to beat a top 8 team until today. In most of our other losses there's been positives to take whether it be a late comeback, resiliency in defence, good periods, there's been zero positives to take from today's game

 

[Rodney Rude]

This is the most points the Warriors have scored this season (36), just one point behind their highest (37).

Our biggest loss of the season I believe they just said - excellent, just what you want leading up to the finals. Shatter the confidence and start creating some questions around the club.

Its only going to get worse...

 

[perverse]

Also Barneys sternum is no good. I assume he had an injection at some point to keep going.

 

[Knight Vision]

They had everything to play for - Klemmer milestone, possible 4th place finish

Still couldnt be bothered to turn up.

No aggression, no enthusiasm, to intent, no line speed, NO PRIDE - offered nothing , zip, zilch, nada.....just a whimpering pathetic effort from a team of losers.

Where's the blokes who always drop in here and tell people to stop slitting their wrists?

Their on FB doing their usual "support the boys no matter what crap" I'm glad their happy with that "performance"...

Crossland to 6 next week.

 

[PhilGould]

Captain and coach both carry themselves like we've already got runs on the board when we haven't made the finals in 7 years.

 

[slotmachine]

Crossland to 6 next week.

Out of everything that went to shit you're picking out Lino?

 

[PhilGould]

I'll take Lamb and Cogger in the halves over this rabble

 

[perverse]

Crossland to 6 next week.

That's not going to fix anything. Putting him at hooker might. Truth is we were terrible across the board. Any stat or player you care to pick out, you can find flaws.

What did he do that warrants selection again?

What did he do that warrants selection again?

He didn't let in several tries like Pearce for a start

 

[Tom155]

Pearce was horrendous, Mann not far behind + Lino did nothing

Ponga only spine player that looked even remotely threatening

 

[aqua_duck]

That loss had nothing to do with the halves, we were utterly dominated, we could've had bedsy and Joey out there and it still wouldn't have made much difference when you allow the opposition to make 50-60m every single set

For sure. We were completely bulldozed in every sense of the word. Their middle absolutely obliterated ours.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

They were good. They completely dominated us. They knew what they had to do to shut us down in the second half and executed it.
We were very poor. Worst performance of the season.

 

[slotmachine]

Blaming the attack when we never had field position and kept running one out until the game was over is weird

 

[Jono078]

Team vs Sharks next week? DSaf expected back. Possible questions marks over Pearce, Klemmer and Barnett.

1 Ponga
2 Toa
3 Tuala
4 Shib
5 Hunt
6 Crossland
7 Pearce (Lino if Pearce out)
8 Klemmer (DSaf if Klemmer out)
9 Randall
10 JSaf
11 Fitzgibbon
12 Guerra
13 Barnett (King if Barnett out)
--
14 Mann
15 EseEse
16 DSaf (Saulo if Klemmer out)
17 Jones (or do we have any decent edge backrower?)

 

[Apey]

Yeah we didn't even give ourselves a chance to be bad in attack today. I was going to say today wasn't on the spine but Mann made a ton of errors and Pearce defended like Benji so it was partly on those two.

Fair call
