Match Discussion: Round 5 vs Storm @ Central Coast Stadium

[PhilGould]

Guerra and Sione slow and predictable with the ball.
Middle forwards struggling.
Attack has been flat and disorganised.
Best is being marked by Brenko Lee and hasn't gotten early ball once.

Not ready to call it off yet, if we score first and hold onto the ball I think we're still a chance.

Sin bin?

It should have been. If it was at the end of the game it would have been.

 

[perverse]

Very disappointing. Not in it mentally at all. Mostly everything else stemming from that. Need to turn it around in the second half... If not for the win then for the rest of the seasons sake.

 

[Spot On]

Lol at complaining about the ruck, our PTB speed is faster.

Errors 7:2 is the story, we are dumb and the storm aren't that great

3 tries better than us.

I'd like to see the 6 to go stats, we got more than them I feel.

3 tries better than us.

Yep, very fair score. You don't beat the storm with 40:60 possession

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Melbourne are defending very well and are slowing us down too much. We need to stop spilling the bill and create more in attack. The flat ball to the right for Sione seems to offer something. We also need to back up the ball runner and create some offloads.

One out runs with poor ball security will result in us getting beaten by 40.

Do we have 3 tries in us? Against the Storm?

 

[PhilGould]

First time AOB has to put a half-time rocket up his team as a head coach. Hopefully he's better at it than Browny.

This. The Storm are playing well, but we're making it as easy as possible with our handling errors and generally poor discipline.

Their first try came off hands on hips lazy defense, we've handed them entirely too much possession with dick-fingered handling, and we're not throwing much at them aside from a couple of promising flashes.

The good news is that they don't look unbeatable despite how bad we're playing, but I don't know if I see us turning things around enough in the second half to storm home.

Pressure. They are applying - with and without the ball - and we are folding.

Maybe we can up the anti in the 2nd half instead of conceding 40???

 

[Loose Cannon]

Pitiful display.

Sione should have been hooked. Turn around and watch the ball.

Forwards getting killed. Ruck defence is woeful.

 

[Zoidberg]

I'd like to see the 6 to go stats, we got more than them I feel.

I think they got 1 or 2, and we had 1 until the last 5mins we probably got another 3 or 4 (usually on tackle 1 or 2 deep in our half).

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Deliberate pass after the call of held...

 

[Haffa]

I’m done with Sione. He’s out once the injured options are back.

Mann's ankle is playing up.. Great

Mann's ankle is playing up.. Great

When we have plenty of options at 6, why is he there less than fully fit?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Can we go one game without a f**king injury?

 

[slotmachine]

Another f**king error

Considering Hoy isn't a natural 5/8, who else apart from Crossland is an option?
