Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Titans @ Cbus Super Stadium

[Old dog]

That Watson moment wasn’t isolated, he did it twice that I noticed during game, we don’t have time to remonstrate it’s all about staying in the game no matter how frustrated.

its far more than just wasted time remonstrating , it emboldens the opposition and sends a clear message of disharmony and of a team that isnt together and under pressure, a weakness to be exploited.

Remonstrate behind closed doors in the dressing room, but the face and body language that you show the opposition is of a strong bond that can never be broken, a team ready to lay it all on the line for each other.

Watson didnt just embarrass himself he let down the team and culture, a cardinal sin of teamwork and a winning culture. He'd be out of the team if I were his boss.

It also happened later in the game between Fitzgibbon and Ponga. Fitz was looking to offload close to the line but Ponga wasn't looking and already getting set up for the next play. There were several times throughout the game when the boys weren't looking too harmonious.

Did anything get mentioned in the media or press conference about the Pearce no try from the Barnett offload that was called back for being held? Can't understand how some players can be held for an eternity and offload/score after the tacklers start to drop away, but Barnett was called held straight away. I remember Kidley scoring a try years ago where it should have been called held about 2-3 seconds before he got the ball down.

No mention, but agree held was called pretty quickly..
