Match Discussion: Round 22 vs Warriors @ Mt Smart Stadium

[Dave_]

It's not even a risk to take a short drop out against us. Pea hearts

3 in the tackle and they still can’t wrap the ball up

That happens regularly.

Lol @ Cogger

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Great kick and no chasers.. Rubbish.

Gotta do something b4 the Souffs v Rooters game mate.

 

[Tom155]

Levi makes a good run out of dh goes to pass and no one is pushing up in support smh

 

[Dave_]

Our attack is almost as bad as our defence. Timid, one out runs with zero support runners every single hit-up. The opposition defence is never in 2 minds. You don't need skill to support the ball carrier, just commitment and desire...just do it. Sure, we have a few reggies standard amateurs out there but these are the basics of the game.

Having a big heart doesn't make up for no talent but come on, these forwards are either not having their best crack or they're dead set geniused.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Penrith, Sharks and Dragons coming up.. I dare say our next win will be in 2019.

If we're lucky...fair dinkum, who will be worse than us next year with the current roster?

 

[Tom155]

Wow awful option

 

[Frederick]

I really hope we sign this pommy 5/8 so we can move Watson to hooker and send Levi back to reserve grade until he has a hissy fit and demands another release.

Stupid, stupid player

 

[Apey]

Improved performance compared to the last few weeks I think. Our attack wasn't great, but we didn't get completely shat on. Was expecting a 30+ smashing going in.

 

[Dave_]

I'm ranting now, sorry boys.. I'm not happy. Who would've thought probably our 3 most disappointing games would all feature Pearce and Ponga?

Honestly, we've perfected the art (fart?) of being shit.

 

[PhilGould]

Herman is the only forward who had a crack. Pearce and Ponga are both clearly busted and were still the most active players. Every time they try to do something in attack every one else is standing around watching, must be frustrating for them. I would rest them both until they're 100%.

Warriors were rubbish tonight. Nothing to get excited about.

Warriors were rubbish tonight. Nothing to get excited about.

Absolutely. It's like they felt sorry for us.

 

[Swarzey]

Absolutely suffocated in our own 50. Didn't have the pack to compete, only have SKD and Sione who can do any damage coming out that deep in our own half. They were starved of energy by the time we actually got any valuable field position. I don't think we played awful and it wasn't as frustrating as recent weeks with peak stupidity, we were just dominated physically. Realistically and given the way they went on about the Warriors performance they should have put 40+ on us.

Not the worse loss of the season and frustrating for different reasons.

 

[Zoidberg]

They made 2014 run metres to our 1329, our forward pack has nothing. No wonder we have no punch in defence, we are constantly on the back foot.
