Match Discussion: Round 4 vs St Geo Illa @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[perverse]

Obi’s bench use has to be questioned again. Why name Green in the bench and not use him when we could use some direction and class finish to our sets.

Yeah, real head scratcher that one. We could use him out there right now.

We are our own worst enemy alot of the time

I’d wager it was Seibold in his ear.

One of those days boys...we've seen it all before unfortunately.

 

[K-Man]

Unbelievable. Seriously, what is wrong with our brains? You could see Watson messing up that play the ball for about 5 minutes, he never once looked in control and he went for it anyway. HOLD. THE. BALL.

 

[perverse]

Way too many errors

Beating ourselves again. If it just continues all match again like last week, I give up. It's hard to say given our injuries, but it feels like we've gone backwards this year.

 

[perverse]

Huh, didn't know Mann had that in him.

 

[Tom155]

No luck at all with injuries

 

[perverse]

Hoy gorn... maybe Star goes back there now? Watson might also be an option.

 

[aqua_duck]

Ponga and Best wouldn’t have done anything in this game because we can’t complete our sets or build pressure.

I disagree, few times Tuala was one on one with Clune closed to the line and got stopped just short, Best most likely crashes over

It's hard to cop year after year.

I think it’s unfair to say we’ve gone backwards. Injuries do have an impact.

At least we’ve been competitive for every minute this year, that alone makes it an improvement on last year.

I expect a big response in the second half, even without Pearce.

 

[Zoidberg]

Green wasn’t meant to get much game time (all going well) today due to a lack of game fitness. Pretty sure he will play most of the 2nd half now though.

 

[K-Man]

Hoy gone. What are we thinking now, an 11-point loss? Back to back home games with added meaning, against two average teams, it's so Newcastle.

We've gone for the keep it simple game plan and we're still making a million errors. It's so much worse when the mistakes happen when you're not even trying to play any football.

Perfect post.

Mann or Watson to fullback?

 

[slotmachine]

Pray Brailey doesn't get hurt.
Green and KP will be an upgrade on hoy and Pearce, but Brailey is irreplaceable

Mann kicking nicely so far, no worse than Pearce.

 

[slotmachine]

Oh and shibs having a great game, coaching masterstroke

 

[Jono078]

You know what, I'm convinced we sold our soul to win that 01 comp, it's been nothing but shit since then.

Hopefully it was only a 20 year deal and we'll finally be released from it next year.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Shibasake to fullback is the obvious choice.

Seriously, this club is cursed.

We've played some really ordinary opposition, too. How many points do you think the Panthers, Eels, Canberra, Bunnies put on us in our current "form"?

We're going to need a lot more from Green this year than we thought we already needed. A lot of hope to be pinning on a 34 year old bloke coming back from a knee reconstruction.
