Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

2nd half we could do a lot worse than
9. Brailey
7. Crossland

If KP is gonna do everything at least stack the field with better players.

 

[perverse]

Taking the 2 again? Oh lord...

Wtf is this music playing ?

 

[Zoidberg]

Agree with taking the 2 here.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Taking the 2 again? Oh lord...

At least it makes a 3 score lead this time lol

 

[K-Man]

Taking the 2 again? Oh lord...

Suddenly feeling worried. It’s a curse.

Not going to complain, would have definitely taken that score at half time before kickoff.

Let's hope storm keep dropping the ball. They remind me of the knights

 

[Apey]

Melbourne have been really bad.

Cogger has been ordinary although you can tell he's a lot quicker than Hastings in every aspect.

Gagai our best player so far in 2024.

 

[perverse]

Not really sure what to make of that half. We're probably having our best game, but the halves have been awful and it's not really saying much. Ponga and a big play from Gags really the difference between two otherwise rather shakey and sloppy teams.

 

[perverse]

And there will be no paint left on the dressing room walls after Bellyache is done with the half time spray, so I hope we lift in the second half because I suspect they will.

 

[Burwood]

Melbourne don’t put 2 halves of that quality together very often, so Newcastle will need to improve in the 2nd half or risk getting chased down again.

 

[SamSepi0l]

Basically Ponga or bust for us.

 

[Woody90]

Basically Ponga or bust for us.

Tbf this is kinda what we pay him for.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Storm will come out firing. I hope we're ready for it.

 

[Loose Cannon]

So far, it has been a game played without halves. As was advertised.

 

[Apey]

So far, it has been a game played without halves. As was advertised.

Lol yeah as bad as ours have been, theirs have been worse. Impressive, even given they're NSW cup players.

 

[SamSepi0l]

So far, it has been a game played without halves. As was advertised.

We chose this for ourselves sadly. Pezet best half on the field so far.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Wonder when Brailey is going to get a run?

 

[SamSepi0l]

I like Jenkins. He's solid in exit sets and defensively been sound. Hasn't really had any opportunities in attack.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Lazy penalty
