Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Yosh]

Great win. Won it with our defense in the end! Thank you Tariq Sims!

 

[slotmachine]

Feels good man.

Fully deserved. Game turned when dsaf came off.

 

[Jono078]

That was wonderful! 12-0 down as well, so really 26-6.

To quote Christian Welch "How'd they lose that!?"

God I hope Ponga says that in the post-game conference.

This is one to savour boys! Our finals hopes are well and truly alive, believe me. It won't be easy but we still have destiny in our own hands.

 

[Haffa]

Gutsy win. They weren’t perfect but they deserve their beers.

 

[Tom155]

Did Dan come back on? If he did I didn’t notice him

 

[Knight Tales]

Full credit to Obi. The penny has finally dropped with this mob.

 

[Yosh]

Have we just won 3 in row? What's going on!

 

[slotmachine]

Did Dan come back on? If he did I didn’t notice him

No.

It sort of forced AOBs hand, but his bench use was excellent tonight

 

[Jono078]

Mad shoutout to Croker for his try, which was essentially the difference. No man his size had any right to get that one down!

That was wonderful. What a joy.

 

[perverse]

Gags did tremendously well on Olam tonight. He generally struggles against really physical blokes, and he struggled in a sense tonight, but he made the most of every contact he could.

 

[Jono078]

Have we just won 3 in row? What's going on!

I just hope we haven't played our grand final. This has the hallmarks of a big letdown next week. Let's hope we've actually turned some kind of corner.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Well, I’ve enjoyed that most recent 70 minutes.

 

[perverse]

I just hope we haven't played our grand final. This has the hallmarks of a big letdown next week. Let's hope we've actually turned some kind of corner.

If we beat the Raiders next week I might start beginning to believe.

 

[Jono078]

If we beat the Raiders next week I might start beginning to believe.

I could be wrong but I think we've had some good performances and wins against the Raiders in recent years. They're definitely beatable and their record flatters the heck out of them.

We could sneak into the 8 with a win over them next week, then it truly is up to us to hold our spot.

I seriously tip my hat to Crossland tonight. What a game he had.

 

[Allstar Knights]

Is Crossland a decent no.9 now? His service is actually up to standard lately and he’s getting fitter over the 80. His service isn't suffering as much with the fatigue either.

 

[perverse]

I seriously tip my hat to Crossland tonight. What a game he had.

He still makes some unfathomable decisions, but yeah overall you couldn't ask much more of him tonight. I don't think it's any coincidence that as he's improving, the team is too.

 

[Zoidberg]

My tummy hurts after watching that.

 

[Knight Tales]

My tummy hurts after watching that.

usually it is our hearts!

 

[Pleb]

We’ve all hung plenty of shite on crossland but fk me I’ll buy him a beer after that effort we’ll done son
