Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Knights @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[The unknown]

He never does. Who picked that one ? Matterson to the middle and Lawrence off the bench. Big calls.

I like it but I'd like to see the backs improve as well.

Yeah Matterson seems like a good choice, it gets him more involved if he wasn't already on the edge. Plus it gets MCK to start

Our backs are probably as good as they'll get im afraid, and there isn't really anyone apart from talau that can push their way in

It weakens our edges a bit but Matterson might go really well at lock. MCK is a great runner of the footy and maybe he will help Marsters out.

I think Madge is up against it in the backs. Tough job.

Matterson is a good ball player, I’m tipping they’ll be planning to target Kurt Mann, Matterson will be running at him all day with support. He is also big enough and good enough to pull Klemmer up. I love that starting pack, very mobile with ball in hand! We might be in for a treat this weekend. I got a feeling.

It’s an interesting pack. Both second rowers are hole runners as opposed to workers. Clarke is a high work rate prop so I expect him and Aloiai to be taking plenty of hit ups. Matterson will take a few too however I’d say he’ll be playing like more of an old school lock and passing before the line a bit.

Our backs are still weak but probably the best we can hope for. Last week we created some space on the left with Momirovski making 2 clean line breaks but sadly he isn’t quick enough to make the most of it. Some genuine pace is needed out there.

I think Momo was feeling his way a bit last week, I expect better and quicker this time around

i like him as a player, however see him as much more of a center then a winger. either way he looks a much better option then jennings

Momo is unequivocally a better option than the rotund hoax Jennings.

Hopefully the rest of our recruiting under Madge’s stewardship is a massive improvement on the slug.

 

[Shredder]

Im a big fan of the pack and I reckon provided they dont f**k it up, thats pretty close to what we will be running with next year. We are probably only one or maybe two decent forwards short.

But as everyone has said the backs are slow and shit.

 

[The Charlatan]

Our season is more or less done so we'll do one of two things:

- Phone it in and get towelled
- Put in a performance when the horse has already bolted.

I think if they want to play next year, it will be the second option

With the run home the tigers got I see them Finnish the year off with 28 points, is that enough to make the 8?

 

[leaguelegend21]

Robert Jennings is a slug!

not unless we can turn out some floggings and improve our F/A

Very difficult ask
For us to finish on 28 we can only afford 1 loss (6 wins from 7 games)which is inconceivable considering our record this season.We also have the knights & manly both away & coz we have buckleys of beating manly away it means we must win tom nite to have any chance of making 8.

 

[leaguelegend21]

We will win tomorrow night.

It’s not the lack of speed that’s the problem..Like I said at one point we were making Easts look silly with 30 to go...It’s more about wanting to win..That’s what’s missing.That starts with defence and flows from there....By now the attack should be second nature. They should know what the others are going to do and just go all out no excuses...

And maybe just relax a bit ...and let that confidence hit the bloodstream..then It’s all systems go...Where’s fkn Talau ..I thought Madge had balls ..

.Where’s fkn Talau ..I thought Madge had balls ..

This game might be the last roll of the dice if have any hope of playing finals so he will probably be blooded next week if we lose this

I think ure right ...but I won’t give up hope...It concerns me how uptight everyone seems...so many nervous mistakes last week...u can imagine it wouldn’t be Madge’s strong point...ie being relaxed..The senior guys have to relax the team coz that’s when confidence comes..or visa versa
