Match Discussion: Round 5 vs Broncos @ Suncorp Stadium

[trevcogger]

i just had a look at our draw up to final round 25.
I hope im wrong but i can only see us winning 5 more games max.
We have Roosters,Storm,Souths,Penrith,Canberra twice.

 

[Das Hassler]

I dont think we'll score another point this season. ...in fact i cant see us getting out of our half even once in any game thru to at least halfway through the 2020 season....cant see us winning another scrum this year as well without an experienced hooker
Anyone beat that?

 

[benched tiger]

Our defence is good it’s just our attack that is very ordinary,which leaves supporters with little confidence that we will actually win games,not to mention our goal kicking issues.

 

[Das Hassler]

The draw certainly is tough though but....waddaya do

The defence is fine so far.
But we get near the oppositions line and have nothing....
We are only scoring tries thru grubber kicks.

"Grub"ber kicks indeed

Our back three are too small to be targets for crossfield kicks and they don't have the pace for chip kicks either.

We might Finnish last, Maybe a good bet for wooden spoon.

This is a hard game to call . The moses effect is creating havoc in joe town .
This game is genuinely unpickable .
Although the standard refreeing stooge move is the cuŕrent favourite .

Perhaps we all need a reality check?
To date, we have won 2 and lost 2. There are plenty of sides not travelling as well as us ATM.
Of the 2 we lost, the Dogs was a blowout (which they seem to do to us a lot) and the Panthers was due to our goal kicker having a shocker.
IMO, of the two losses, we have been the better side in 3 of the 4 halves we have played, though do agree a loss is a loss.
We have a long way to go and I think we have a reasonable team to still get us in the top 8, certainly not wrist slashing time yet. (That will come much later)

Yeah ?? Both my kids have just moved back home, and my Mrs has hurt her back.
Guess what I'm not seeing for the rest of the 2019 season . . .?

 

[gordsy]

It's spelled Marsters...

It should be followed by has finally been dropped to reserve grade.

And here comes the biggest cheat of them all....Ashley Klein...

Sharpen the knife Tigerm
Agree we should be 6 points,but we always lose those games....
Even at the 78th minute mark i had us losing to a try , conversion,then the Junior Chin field goal....
Its what movies are made of.
We have nobody who can save us in close games......although Benji would have iced that game im sure.
Looking at the draw for 2019....I really think we wont do any better than 18 points....
Not sure that will put is but around 12th i suppose.
Cant win games reguarly with no CLASS players.

Our back three are too small to be targets for crossfield kicks and they don't have the pace for chip kicks either.

Maybe this is why Cory Thompson hasnt been offered a contract extension yet.....Or Mahe Fonua either.
Madge might be looking for 2 big strong wingers.

Any ideas guys why Thomas Mikaele was dropped to Canterbury Cup last week?
Hope he hasnt developed homesickness or done a Moses Suli.

He does need a reality check. A couple weeks in reserve grade wouldn't hurt, we have Momi stinging out there to get a run

He's played three NRL games. Probably just workload-management.

ET dropped. Interesting decision.
