Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

Look at these idiots just standing and watching while Storm players are running backwards and standing still.


Pathetic

 

[perverse]

No urgency shown in defence there. Didn't play to the whistle.

 

[Jono078]

That’s called jagging a try by keeping the ball alive and backing up plays. Something we didn’t do down the other end.

 

[Tom155]

Hard enough to beat top teams without refs screwing us

Should be our ball

 

[perverse]

At least Ponga had the sense to challenge it. Good challenge, because the onfield call was a joke.

Wow... 7 tackles of 1-out running, no passing... no using our shape. Not a single ballplayer able to get the ball moving in that whole set.

was exactly the same last week even when we were chasing points and was exactly the same as last year. This team has become a robotic, its almost as if there's no objective to scorr points or win the game but rather just have high comopletions and get through the set regardless of scoreline and situation

 

[PhilGould]

Get Sasagi more ball

 

[perverse]

Sasagi just... whenever he's near the ball, there's a sense something can happen. Ditto off the ball, he can put a hit on. He's got an air of quality about him that players like Crossland, Hoy, etc don't have.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Why do we always wait until we're 3 or 4 tries down until we start playing lol

Well, it's no given that we'll start playing after 3 or 4 tries down.

 

[Tom155]

wow

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

My f**king God...How pathetic is our defence

 

[Jono078]

Sasagi just... whenever he's near the ball, there's a sense something can happen. Ditto off the ball, he can put a hit on. He's got an air of quality about him that players like Crossland, Hoy, etc don't have.

Mmm then that happens. That hurts. But I agree regardless.

 

[perverse]

Nevermind what I said about Sasagis defence. That was truly awful.

 

[Tom155]

AOB is broken & out of answers

 

[Jono078]

Nevermind what I said about Sasagis defence. That was truly awful.

Olam has done that to many. I was more disappointed in Clifford's effort there.

 

[Jono078]

AOB is broken & out of answers

It's so obvious. He has to know he's out of the time.

 

[perverse]

Here comes some hope. Crossland to the field.

 

[PhilGould]

Fear not, Crossland is on

 

[Tom155]

Phoenix coming on that'll save us
