Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Newcastle @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Pezz70]

PLEASE F CK KAPAOA OFF! he drops it cold and just INSTANTLY GIVES UP the chase...he has no right taking up a spot in a first grade side

long year

Krapaoa errors resulted in two tries but Brooks saved the absolute flog defence to gift the match winner

 

[Pezz70]

We must have ran out of ways to lose that, we tried enough different ways. Good luck to the boys. I know we had Kepoao doing his best but lucky for Shibasaki

Tweaking ? Like passes in front of the player rather than behind, options like when Kepaoa running down a wing with chance to take a tackle, pass inside, kick for your team mates or just kick it out, like getting early ball to Roberts so he can use his speed.

It was ok, it was an improvement, it’s only the 1st half. See you in 40.

Never said it was a great performance, but we won both halves against a top team, I’m happy.

 

[Tigerm]

I think AJ may struggle to start next week?

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Well we almost butchered that but how f**king goods a win when nobody expects it

Brooks had a very levelled game, that's the Brooksy we want to see every week

I feel for Kepoa, he has talent but is still very raw. It would have been shocking for his confidence if we ended up losing that

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Take a bow @Fordy20.

I’m sorry but you have to attend every game this year son.

 

[Das Hassler]

Kapaoa no doubt has a future but his total capitulation when he's either beaten or makes a mistake just does my head in....anyway...well earned win and feels extra good to be able to spoil someone ELSE'S milestone game!

 

[Tiger05]

We got a win. We weren't good but there is some talent in that side. Douiehi is a really good player. Brooks was calm and did everything right. Laurie is real good. Roberts and Nofo look dangerous.

Garner was really good.

lol.

My bet is that Madge will select Keps anyway.

Doogie killed it and Brooks made a 5% improvement because expectations were he’d lose us the match.

Moses got stage fright again, but we are used to that.

 

[Das Hassler]

Forgiving his no try fumble for a moment i thought Mbye threw himself into it pretty good....Douehi delivered like i'd hoped and was the dominant half. ..nice disguised pass from Brooks for Stafano as well...that win had to have done Brooks confidence some good...he was pretty steady . Laurie was outstanding

 

[Perth Tiger]

A win is a win and sometimes you just need to break that duck, no matter how ugly it is, to start making improvements.

still big issues on the left, was expecting big things from LL but he has been the biggest disappointment so far and AJ needs to improve his game in reserve grade but we don’t even have another winger in our squad so dropping him probably just means bringing back big brain BJ

 

[stryker]

He’ll struggle to start in reserve grade.

 

[benched tiger]

Who would think that we would win due to goal kicking.

 

[The Rosco]

Yeah, well we played poorly and still won.
It's something to build on.
In 20 years time, Stefano will be tellin' anyone who'll listen, how he caught a ball on the 300m line and ran all the way to score a try !!

 

[Wizardman]

A win seems to cover up a lot of cracks with you lot. We were pure shit for our third game in a row. We are lucky that we faced a team that was down seven first choice players and played an absolute shocker. Their milli vanilli centre and gehamat pairing were incredibly shit and cost them 2 comp points. It doesn't help that we have a winger that would make Jackson Kaufusi would look like a superstar. We have a shitload of work to do.

I've conceded we were garbage but I would rather play like garbage and take the 2 points, than play like garbage and lose

Round 3 remember. Plenty of work to do
