Match Discussion: Round 24 vs Gold Coast @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

[Seage]

Fifita doesn't pass. Ever. If he gets the ball, just tackle him. FMD.

 

[perverse]

No thing surer than Fifita scoring against us.

 

[macavity]

That strip on King changed the game

 

[Burns]

We are such a bad team.

 

[Yosh]

Defensively I think we've been close to perfect. We have been super aggressive and only let in two tries due to player errors, not system errors.

Mann for the first one. I reckon Best should have made contact first and Tuala should have waited until Best was holding him.

 

[aqua_duck]

I fear that Fifita is ready for some good old flat track bullying now

 

[Yosh]

Clifford is the future of the club~!

 

[Loose Cannon]

Clifford is awesome at that

 

[Knight Tales]

Cliff is some defender.

 

[perverse]

Until the King error we were in it up to our eyeballs. To that point, we were doing the wrong things (strategically), but doing them well. Well enough to keep us in it. Shit fell apart after that with the errors. Half time was the best thing for us here.

 

[Zoidberg]

Good half. Attack looked pretty good in the few opportunities we had down their end.
Defence was quite solid but there were a few too many easy metres they made.
Cliff needs to bomb the shit out of Campbell in the 2nd half.

Is he allowed to kick tonight?

It's best allowed to touch the ball?

I have so many questions

 

[Yosh]

Quite happy with that. Was worried they would storm us through the middle with their big men but we've dominated him physically. They had to go out wide and bully our smaller lads to score. Would like to Clifford get the ball more on kicks and Ponga getting the ball every play the ball.

Us to win it by 12.

Yeah, the perfect kicking split between the two of them should be somewhere around 65-75% Clifford kicking I would think. Dunno what's going on out there. Fortunately Pearce's kicks have at least been reliable, with a few actually gooduns in there, but Clifford could be torturing Campell. It's very odd that he isn't.

Best... well I'm pretty sure the team has forgotten who the bloke is at this point. It's the number 1 dumbest thing about how we play week after week.

Honestly how embarrassing for them though? Every week the media will ask them in the pre-game "Hey, that young Bradman bloke isa beast, have you been working out a way to get him some early ball?" And every week they answer with yeah he's a good talent and we're working on it.

How f**king long do you have to work on it for? Mann has been a centre for 2 weeks and gets 50 touches a game!

 

[macavity]

Thought we would be out of the game by now, and with the possession difference we should be. So hey, reset and try again.

 

[Muddy71]

Why is Barnett always getting the ball when they need to get it to Best.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Run meters 530 to 780. Eeewww.

Maybe hitting up the middle is not advantageous.

Can we get Best a really good Kurt Mann mask?

We are missing Klem and DSaf big time tbh.
