Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Sydney @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

[Knight Tales]

What’s your thoughts on that guys?

 

[Jono078]

Well Mann almost butchered that but was nice leadup play otherwise! That was all Watson and then good support Crossland, as usual.

 

[K-Man]

Just go yourself Mann! He should have just attacked the line like Best would.

 

[Jono078]

Whatever happens by full time at least we’ve seen that AOB can produce something in training (finally) that actually addresses a major weakness. All season we’ve started softly with a wait and see approach, but tonight it’s very obvious we have a bit of a grand final mentality. That’s what is needed.

I'm not that forgiving. Consistency is our issue. We've had hot starts before but have fallen apart at the first sign of things going against us.

 

[K-Man]

That’s so disappointing. You really do need to score those. Great play Watson, great play in general. But I feel Mann stuffed that up.

 

[K-Man]

I'm not that forgiving. Consistency is our issue. We've had hot starts before but have fallen apart at the first sign of things going against us.

That’s fair. Not saying it means anything other than in this particular game, at this stage, there’s a clear sign of intent. We have sorely missed that.

 

[Knight Tales]

Wish we had defended like this last week. We could have really made a game of it.

 

[Jono078]

Wow that was terrible by Brailey, really really poor kick.

 

[drizzy drake]

What a f**king rubbish set

 

[K-Man]

What an absolutely awful set. It sounds negative but to me this is where games are actually lost. Not capitalising on opportunities. And in a flash the momentum changes.

 

[slotmachine]

We need to make the most of this period, we're getting all the calls.

And we drop it...

 

[K-Man]

And here it is. The self implosion.

It will be 12-8 Roosters in no time.

 

[Jono078]

Yep, poor end to that set and then we let the Roosters run easily down our end and then make an error trying to bring it back out. Game changer that was.

 

[Jono078]

Wow! Extremely lucky again with Ikavalu dropping that over the line.

But great hustle by Ponga and maybe Clifford to get there too.

 

[Jono078]

Lol Tyson just about put Mann through a hole and he slipped over LOL!

 

[Jono078]

Tuala and Young have both been offside on 2 Clifford kicks now. They better fix that asap before it costs us.

 

[K-Man]

Lol Tyson just about put Mann through a hole and he slipped over LOL!

Words cannot express the frustration that is Kurt Mann. He’s spent a career not passing, yet somehow the few times he does pass it’s always the wrong decision.

 

[slotmachine]

Having Clifford drop the ball inside the 5m line instead of the 25m line makes such a difference winning field position

 

[Jono078]

Wow...

Ponga refused to return another kick and Young then gets stripped.

That's on Young but Ponga needs to f**king return some balls!

 

[perverse]

These f**king drop off strips...
