Match Discussion: Round 5 vs Canterbury @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park / Wanngal

[Loose Cannon]

Is it just me or did that 40 minutes of football feel like about 200 minutes of football? Christ.

Set your clock back and you’ll only suffer 2 and a half.

 

[perverse]

Dogs 63% possession and we're only down by a penalty goal in the 3rd minute.

This is the only silver lining, but it's a huge one. I still don't think we'll have the gas in the last 20, but if we could just figure out how to hold the damn ball then somehow we've given ourselves a sniff.

 

[Zoidberg]

It’s like we can’t put good defence and good attack together in one game. I’ll give a bit of leeway due to fatigue, down to injuries and lack of possession.
So proud of the defence though. I’ll single out Cant and McEwen.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Ball handling has been rock bottom atrocious for 3 straight halves now. Surely...surely we can't make it 4.

These Dogs aren't much chop. If we hold it and get some good possession we're a chance... right? This hopium is good sh*t.

 

[Woody90]

Look, I can’t be too harsh on them. That was an incredible defensive half whatever way you want to cut it. I wish there was a bit more brains to go with the heart too though.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

We'll win this.

Unfortunately we are struggling to make ground and I probably expect similar in the second half

 

[Yosh]

Great defense. Cant and Best doing wonders. We're up against it. This is the sort of game our city is built on. Let's go win the next 40!!

 

[Woody90]

Also just want to point out that while we had to do another 5 sets in defence, we’ve only made one more error than the Dogs who were the best side for not making errors coming into this round I believe.

 

[Apey]

Schiller definitely got a shoulder to the head right after his head clash.

Dogs are the fittest team in the comp. Be very difficult to keep up under the circumstances. Big effort required.

Should have been a sin bin based on current rule enforcement.

Should have been a sin bin based on current rule enforcement.

Especially since he was Cat 1. It probably did more damage tbh.

I thought this too.

Yeah but that's okay because... Newcastle

 

[Zoidberg]

It’s only the knights who are disadvantaged.

 

[perverse]

What the f**k Fletcher? Seriously???

 

[macavity]

terrible by Fletch.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

FFS Fletch just take the tackle

 

[Tom155]

f**k continue to not hold the ball
