Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce / Ngunnawal

[Zoidberg]

If we get more opportunities in the attacking zone we should get points. But Raiders not making many mistakes and ref giving us nothing means we won’t get many chances.

 

[Burwood]

Can't see Brailey going the full 80- will be interesting to see what the plan is in the second half.

 

[Apey]

Not convinced we will win this by any stretch. Raiders running over the top of us too easily at times. Ponga looks a bit underdone as you'd expect.

 

[Alex28]

IMO we look better than them but playing a bit too conservative.

They are clearly trying to gas the opposing players to Best/Ponga/Marzhew - it’s a long play, but it’s working. Timoko was absolutely stuffed after 30.

Hopefully it all pans out in the second half and that side runs riot.

I just don’t think trying to play a grinding style game against the Raiders is a good idea. It completely plays into their hands and wastes the one strength we have over them which is our backline. Hopefully we chance our arm a bit more in the second half. Need to create more space for the left short side raids too.

"line ball that one"

Lmao f**k off Ennis

 

[Tom155]

That was slick

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

GAGS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Bunker will take this off us probably lol

 

[perverse]

That was very clever. The more we use KP like that, the more effective he will be when he actually gets the ball.

 

[Loose Cannon]

That was fantastically clever. Hastings laying to Gagai who switched roles with Ponga.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Nice!

 

[Alex28]

Remember when we barely had a goal kicker in the team at all?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Friz is having a great game so far

 

[Apey]

Yep as I said in the main forum I love seeing us use him as a decoy like that. He's the most marked man in the comp. Run that play occasionally and it will work.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Getting a bit frustrated with Hastings kicking game ATM lol

 

[Knight Tales]

You’d have to believe this was where our attack was meant to get to had KP stayed fit.

Halligan earning his moneys worth.

 

[Alex28]

I really hope Dylan Lucas is a career long Knight. What a talent.

 

[perverse]

lol how good is Kalyn...
