Match Discussion: Round 23 vs Dolphins @ Optus Stadium, Burswood / Whadjuk

[Knight Tales]

We don't deserve it, but the Dolphins are super leaky and if we can just put together some sets and complete we really should still win it comfortably.

The Wayne factor has worn off but their defence is very surprising. I expected more. This was the game of all five which worried me. The others we will be up for.

 

[Apey]

I honestly don't know what constitutes a strip in the NRL anymore. Is the rule just that if the carry is loose then it's impossible for a strip to be called, even when there's a clear stripping motion?

That looked like a clear one to me. He isn't "just" making a tackle 3m out from the line, lol.

Hope you're right mate, because this has been ugly and we're nowhere near home yet.

Brodie Jones on now,
he's as dangerous to dolphins as a Japanese fisherman

Yeah I just don't get it honestly. I'd say on average a coinflip would beat my judgement on what will be called a strip these days.

The whole team is covering for Marzhew

Big 5 minutes from Ponga, Hastings, Gags and Frizz.

 

[Knight Tales]

How is Best not smoking his opposite centre. The guy makes Konnie Hurrell look like he has Dylan Edwards motor by comparison. He’s had his hands on his hips for 5 mins.

Leaders actually leading. It's good to see.

 

[Yosh]

Gagai is a man on mission!

 

[perverse]

Gregory!! I never doubted him. lol.

 

[Haffa]

Haha it was all ways going to be Greg.

 

[Knight Tales]

The Dolphins defence looks like ours last season. They are clueless.

 

[Tom155]

Ponga carving up

 

[Alex28]

Happy for Greg. Had a terrible game. Glad something went right for him in the end.

How good is a fit and confident Ponga?

 

[Knight Tales]

Gagai is a man on mission!

Absolutely.

 

[Tom155]

yes 8 point lead

 

[perverse]

Sublime kick. He's clearly been practicing.

 

[macavity]

The bunker is full of shit

 

[Alex28]

Gagai was looking up at the ball that whole time…
