Match Discussion: Round 25 vs Sharks @ Leichhardt Oval

[The unknown]

In yesterday’s side there were at least 4 (5 if you include Marshall with our connections a Keebra Park);

Nofa
Farah
Lawrence
Brooks

Did I read somewhere that Matterson played junior reps with Western Suburbs at one stage as well?

Matterson is a Parra junior

 

[Tiger Ted]

Matterson is a Parra junior

Yep but his Uncle Terrry was a Wests junior & played with Berala bears.

I’m quite certain that Ryan played in parra junior rep cup teams with Alex Twal

 

[Front-Rower]

Matterson is a Parra junior

He played junior footy in the Parra district but he played his junior reps for Western Suburbs.

I’ll upload the screen image when I get to a PC.

Yeh you're probably right then. I just heard whispers he played around the Parra area

 

[Vic Mackey]

Matterson is a Parra junior

He was however his first ever rep team was Wests SG Ball. He played with Teddy and Nofa, so I’ll claim him as ours

Surely we have to looking at brooks 5/8, walters half and reynolds hooker? Thats not a bad spine with thompson a fb. Mbye stays at centre, rowdy can leave if he isnt happy, benji can stay as a bench spot. Liddle comes into 9 and reynolds goes to the bench

So your bench is forward forward benji adn reynolds. Unless our forward pack is made up of six Jason Taumalolos that bench is awful.

We played the backend of the year with 2 starting frontowers that have never played NRL before this year. Thats unheard of. Our 2 first choice hookers gone. Our captain gone. Two of the laziest and heartless outside backs in Marsters and Jennings.

Right before kickoff we have a major disruption to the side.

There is so much upside in this team.

We need 2 very good outside backs, hopefully one a fullback, and that's it.

Next year Oliver Clark, Luke Garner and Alioai will be guns.

Allo is a gun already. He’s white hot.

This is a really good post. We aren't far off are we.

I think Garner and Aloiai are already guns as well.

Marsters isn't that bad. The problem is that he isn't that good either and he has defensive issues. Nofo though has copped the same type of criticism and he was unreal for us at the backend of this season.

We can't do this anymore can we. You can have at best one utility on the bench.

 

[The unknown]

Tbh I'm surprised we didn't get beat by 50 on reflection

Our bench

A one legged Farah
Reynolds the utility
ET the reserve grader
Twal one of the smallest props in the game but has a big motor

Thompson gone in warm up, slowest backs in the NRL etc

The buck started at the #9 position. We shuffled so many positions to accommodate Farah when we could have just used Talau in the centres with Momi on the wing and bit the bullet and started Reynolds at #9

Under the circumstances I would have had Mikaele, Twal, Chee Kam and ET on the bench

The Thompson situation was unfortunate but I thought Madge could have handled it a bit better. We needed 4 forwards

No reynolds goes to bench, benji goes to reserves

So that grubby f*#k Ronaldo has been charged for a shoulder charge, which wasn’t penalized. Score was 4 all at that stage. Potentially match changing decision.

I get we weren't good enough, but a couple of those horrendous calls (this, the Nofa & Brooks penalties) don’t go against us and it’s a totally different ball game.

We had all our momentum stopped by an illegal shoulder charge. That'll do me

 

[Front-Rower]

The Brooks’ spear tackle penalty was the biggest joke of all time.

He didn’t do anything illegal. The ball carrier looked like he jumped in to the tackle, hit Brooks’ shoulder and ended up in that position through no fault of Brooks’.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Annesley has just said the Nofa penalty was incorrect, absolutely farcical

What was he meant to do. Let him run the length of the field.

 

[The unknown]

Is there a professional sport in the world that makes as many blunders as this shit sport?

 

[The Rosco]

Really poor from Gallen kicking that field goal. Needs a smack in the mouth for that

Especially seeing that his nephew or cousin ( Eiso ) is in the team he just did it to.
No class, and it shows.

Just let me get out of your way sir

It's Ben Cummins mate, he was equally shit both ways yesterday.
