Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Dolphins @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

Yeah I really don't think there is one, he may be the least athletic bloke in the league.

Great hit from Lucas! Loving this kid early on.

I’d love to know what kind of pre season testing numbers he puts up, I imagine there’d be blokes running around in 3rd grade Oztag who’d put up better numbers than him

 

[Loose Cannon]

Fitz... haha... it's like he's contractually obliged to do 1 dumb thing for every good thing.

And yet he exceeds expectations regularly.

 

[Yosh]

We must throw the most forward passes in the NRL... Under 8s stuff guys... Seriously... Many positives though from the game.

 

[Zoidberg]

so we only lose by 10 and not 12, Duh...

If we scored a try we’d only be down by 6 in the last 5mins. Yes we needed to score but we’ve been on the back foot since then.

 

[Tom155]

Short to Fitzgibbon & error

Big f**king shock

 

[perverse]

STOP DOING THAT SHORT BALL TO FITZ OMG.

Honestly, a few more of those balls to Fitz could have been called forward today too. His timing hasn't been great with the playmakers at. all.

Wheels fallen off here, but I don't feel like punching the wall which I'll take as a win

 

[Burns]

Fitz was giving it to Gamble, that was never on

 

[Tom155]

LOL

 

[Yosh]

Ah... Let's be honest. Result didn't come our way but most of our lads really played well today. Really happy with our new kids. Hastings and Gamble will look better as they gel. Miller is going to be our best player. Lots to like. Saifiti injured?

 

[Zoidberg]

Best team effort in a while but too many unforced errors in our own end.

 

[slotmachine]

Hmm, that's the gamble I know to finish the game

 

[perverse]

Gamble looked shattered at the end there. You love to see that tbh. He's an actual footy player.

 

[K-Man]

Couldn't have played any worse after the sin bin and penalty goal. Just didn't do anything at all when we had the ball and defended poorly as well.

That game was definitely there to be won. It was our own discipline and decision making that let us down. Too many mental errors.

 

[perverse]

I honestly thought everyone had a good crack out there today aside from Young and Crossland - and to a far lesser but still significant extent Fitz.

Too much went wrong in a short space of time and they couldn't regroup.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Sigh. It's just not meant to be.

It never is

 

[Yosh]

Thought Jones did nothing also. Lucas looks small for a edge backrower but offered something instead of Jones' nothing.

We need to get our regular forwards back asap!

 

[mozza91]

Really proud of the effort. A few shit calls and Saifiti’s injury was costly. But can’t fault the effort and with a spare parts side they did really well.

 

[Yosh]

Hastings being gone the last 10 probably hurt us. He would have been the one steering us around. If we didn't lose Ponga the last 10 in the first game and didn't lose Hastings the last 10 today, maybe we would be 3-0?
