[Jono078]

Well it's official - win and we're in the 8. Time to take control of our destiny.

Just please don't flog us

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Lol great first set

 

[Burns]

Sigh.

 

[Yosh]

Great three tackles then diabolical again...

 

[Burwood]

Haha that opening 90 seconds sums up Newcastle perfectly.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Thank f**k for that

 

[Jono078]

Wtf is with both teams wearing White jerseys. Storm leave their main back in Melbourne?

 

[Burns]

Lol ignore that

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Ffs

 

[Jono078]

Wow. Do we not want the ball.

 

[perverse]

Weird start to this game. Gotta keep our heads.

 

[Jono078]

This is incredible.

 

[perverse]

Dom is choosing a really bad game to have a rookie game.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

2 poor errors by Young already

 

[Burns]

This is awful

 

[perverse]

Ugh yep, ok, it's gonna be one of those days. Hold the f**king ball. Why can't we get the fundamentals right consistently?

 

[Jono078]

This is Incredible a joke.

I know it’s early days but it’s just not good enough. You have to be as close to perfect as possible to beat this team, and those little one percenters are more important than ever. Just giving the ball away so cheaply is how you find yourself down by 20 at half time.

I’ve said before that Young won’t make it in the NRL because he’s mentally a poor footballer. He doesn’t lock up the ball, he doesn’t prepare for the worst case scenario. He’s just a bit mentally lazy and no amount of size or speed covers that at this level.
