Match Discussion: Round 9 vs Bulldogs @ Suncorp Stadium

[K-Man]

Came out with the wrong attitude and were paying for it

How does this even happen in our position? We’re fighting for our lives. It’s unforgivable.

 

[K-Man]

One man team. I’ll take it right now, we needed him.

 

[aqua_duck]

Lol Pearce knocked on about 3 times

 

[Tom155]

How did they miss that knock on? Clear as day

 

[aqua_duck]

Moment of silence for Foran's ankles

 

[PhilGould]

A win's a win but very disappointing second half.

 

[Matt23]

If we play anyone else (even Penrith) and we lose that.

 

[Zoidberg]

Just as we start thinking the team is starting to go well as a team we put in a 2nd half like that.
Commentators said Peace addresses the team at half time and said don’t get arrogant, stick to the game plan. Maybe he could see it coming because that’s exactly what happened.

Disappointing second half, but defense was outstanding all game. Exhibit A:

Reckon we can lay off the ref conspiracy theories for a few weeks now?

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Errors let them in the game but we toughed it out. Our defence was still good.
These games where you get the win despite being on the back foot like that can be defining moments.

Yep defence was excellent though they didn't exactly throw much at us.

Geez mate you really are worked up over that you’re posting it on both forums

That Pearce no knock on was a poor call but I still think we got some poor ones against us.

 

[Swarzey]

Defence really has improved and its great to see. There's a lot this side still needs to do in terms of adjusting to changes in momentum; maybe that's done to a lack of faith among the new blokes when things start going wrong.

Still, we had to win. Didn't win as well as we should have but we're now positive in F/A for what feels like the first time since 2013 (at least beyond the opening rounds). Heading into the Roosters/Souths/Storm games, we had to win and have to follow it up next week again.

He was being held back tbh should of been a pen to knights

 

[NK Arsenal]

Love winning but not like that

Second half was pathetic.

Yep 100%

 

[Yosh]

Wow we sucked for a while there but brilliant effort there by Pearce to get to that ball and hide the knock on. Ponga playing touch footy in his backyard out there. Bunch of kids gonna be doing that all week now. Happy for the win. Don't care about the shocking 25 minutes because our defense was solid 80 minutes.

Was sad to see King dropped by Ese'ese was amazing today.

 

[Zoidberg]

I’m just hoping that 2nd half was due to the combination of lesser opposition and being up 16-0 at half time. Overconfident. How many will we win by. Can’t see us being in that situation too often.
