Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Sydney @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

[K-Man]

And Young at it again. I’m sorry, I know not everyone agrees, but it’s just a complete lack of attention to detail. It’s not good enough.

 

[slotmachine]

That was coming. Too many errors

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Young caught out twice.

 

[perverse]

They 100% did their homework watching the Storm on us last week. Targeted Young for that strip perfectly. I dunno how I feel about the planned 3 man tackles then 2 drop off for the strip. Watching Melbourne exploit it systematicly all year haas put a very bad taste in my mouth about it.

 

[K-Man]

It should be about 14-0. We’ve let this happen, and you wouldn’t be shocked if we trailed at half time now and lost comfortably.

But you can’t blame anyone but ourselves. All the one percenters have gone out the window, as they so often do.

 

[Johns Magic]

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!

You legit ? The bloke’s f**king injured.

Young is the one who needs to sort his shit out.

 

[K-Man]

Young caught out twice.

Literally all game every game. He needs two years in reserve grade.

 

[Yosh]

I usually hate the Roosters but man they have been unlucky with injuries. We know how that feels all too well.

 

[PhilGould]

The attack runs so much smoother with Watson in the middle swinging the ball and making things happen with his effort. Will be so disappointed if they let him go.

 

[Yosh]

I think we have also done some homework. Moving the ball left to right right to left, just like how the Storm did to smash the Roosters. We just do it at half the pace and quarter the pecision. However, good to see us to try.

 

[slotmachine]

Just falling apart here. You can't get away with being this sloppy against a decent team

Yeah I'm legit. It's not the first game he's done this.

How injured is he? He's looked good in other aspects of the game and sprinted hard in cover.

I said it's on Young but I can't stand when Ponga unloads the ball more than he returns it.

Gotta be time to recall To'a you'd think. Young should have only played 1 or 2 games this year for a taste.

 

[K-Man]

This is an interesting topic because while it looks annoying, it does have reasoning behind it. There are only so many runs into a defensive wall you want your star player making in a game. Ponga’s main role is to create offensively.

But I don't want him running to the line then throwing it at youngs knees inside our 20m line either

 

[Yosh]

Perhaps To'a for Young would have been the right call for this week.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

All of our defence was in.

 

[K-Man]

Inevitable lol. I think we lost the game in that period when we didn’t take advantage of all the momentum. It’s all very Newcastle.

There have been some shocking mistakes since the penalty goal. Complete lack of fluidity with the ball as well.

It’s pretty disappointing because the attitude was good and this game was there for the taking. We couldn’t execute.

Watson is playing a lot like a 6.

 

[perverse]

We're just disorganized and sloppy. Combine that with a few errors and yeah, this is what we get. At least we've had a dig for a full half.
