Match Discussion: Round 5 vs Sharks @ Southern Cross Group Stadium

[Hardcore_Fan]

Buhrer is looking a bit out of place at hooker today with some bad options.

I thought buhrer looked sharp out of DH

Sharks attack looks as bad as ours!

 

[K-Man]

Again this game shows what's missing. We are trying so hard to stay with them up the middle, which is great. But then as soon as we get our chances to attack we do absolutely nothing with the football then hand it back to them.

You have to score or build pressure somehow. It's horrible watching us inside the 20. That's where we lose, even though it ends up looking bad defensively. We're exhausted because our spine doesn't control the game for us.

 

[Pedge1971]

We need the ball badly. Sharks should score here.

What is the record for penalties given in a game? Seems we are going for it.

 

[Pedge1971]

The refs doing their usual trick of penalising the team that should be losing.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Why can't any winger we ever have ever mark their opposite winger ever?

 

[macavity]

I refuse to believe we run attacking set plays at training. We look completely lost. No idea.

All comes back to the halfback, captain, star player.

 

[K-Man]

Sharks attack looks as bad as ours!

No way. They are pushing passes, but we don't even get the ball wide enough to bother.

 

[Zoidberg]

I don't know what that last penalty was for?

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

We will leak another 2 try's before half time now

 

[K-Man]

All comes back to the halfback, captain, star player.

Absolutely. It's depressing. Because we actually could have grabbed a lead today. But we just don't have a halfback who can get us firing inside the 20.

 

[Zoidberg]

1st time we had the ball for about 10mins, good set.

 

[K-Man]

Nice one Hodko. Leading from the front. Literally. In front of your dummy half you d***head.

 

[Pedge1971]

Geez this is a hard team to follow....

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Happy with that first half effort. We won't win because the ref won't let a $7 outsider win against the premiers, but hey.

 

[Zoidberg]

Down 14-6 at half time. Effort and defence has been very good. Not much opportunity in the attacking zone, we are a chance in this if we get a few more chances.

 

[perverse]

Hodko shitting me to tears. They're having a dig, though.

 

[Rudderriffic]

Elliot has to be removed. Defensive liabilty and a non factor in attack. A 6'1 cardboard cutout of himself would be more useful at the back

 

[K-Man]

We've tried hard but it's always the same. Our attack and last tackle options are both awful so we have no chance of winning.
